I would have considered the Championship a good place to prepare Veretout/Amavi/Ayew/Traore/Grealish etc. I realise it's a tough league but Watford and Bournemouth both impressed in it with technical players as opposed to just strong athletes. I think completely the opposite........ veretout/traore/grealish cant cope with the prem where no one tackles, loads of time on the ball........... I think the championship when its 100mph blood n thunder will completely finish them off............. they've not got the bottle or scrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're pretty much saying the Premier League is easier to play in? No one tackles in the Premier League, and you had loads of time on the ball? Really? Grealish was playing really well in League1 a couple of years back, I'm sure he can make the jump from League 1 to the Championship Edited December 15, 2015 by PieFacE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch any of Derby, Boro or Brighton play this season. Slow, lethargic, passsing for passing sake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Charlie Austin is looking sharp and his movement makes a mockery of Gestedes. If there's any chance we can get him we shouldn't hesitate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Can't see us being prepared to pay the amount and the wages it will take to get Austin here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 15 million for Austin or 6 million Gestede makes Austin a no-brainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Just now, Zatman said: 15 million for Austin or 6 million Gestede makes Austin a no-brainer No it doesn't. Austin also has knee problems does he not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I'm not disputing that we needed a goalscorer but I don't think £15 million on a striker with one year left on his deal and dodgy knees is a no brainer. Needing a goalscorer though obviously is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 The Mail are still linking with us with Laurent Depoitre in tonight's online sources. Doubt we will go for Austin and more likely for someone like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 dont think the dodgy knee is that big of a deal. McGrath and Laursen did ok for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Dodgy knees? Look at how many minutes he plays! I think £15m was the start point and could easily have been negotiated. The difference in movement in Austin and Gestede is unreal he also has a desire in him that I haven't seen in Gestede. If we could get him for £8m in Jan it'd be good business. I'd even give them another £4m if we stayed up or got promoted next season. We need a striker and he's probably the best can get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayew was very good aswell albeit I don't expect him to stay if we go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
