His wage demands are stupidly, stupidly high.

I''ll give you a 1000/1 if you want it?

[Mario Harpershite 27]

Ok I''ll bet you a pound Ruthers...

[HertsCanary93 223]

Odds don''t usually drop that suddenly and drastically without something going on. I suspect we''ve made another bid, that said I still don''t think we''ll get him.

Another bid? Didn''t realise we''d bid for Austin?

Given that Ricky is rumoured to be on £40k per week, Austin''s £45k per week request for a proven Premier League goal scorer doesn''t sound excessive imo, especially if Hooper goes elsewhere (loan or otherwise)

[Van wink 2,994]

I have expressed the opinion from the start of the window that Austin will be a City player, my view hasn''t changed.

Bit of a mess up on my part, I seem to remember that there was a ''£14m package'' enquiry not too long ago. Not an actual bid as such.

Maybe we''ve gone back with a restructured package or something.[/quote]

No, no, you don''t need to apologise, it was me cocking up, I''d completely forgotten about that enquiry!

[Platonic 1]

I dunno how much there is in this - one bookmaker could have had a sizeable bet and dropped odds to cover themselves, then the rest follow as why would you offer crazily higher odds than the competition?

[city-till-i-die 7]

Would love to see this happen.

Proven at this level.

Worth the gamble imho.

[(Northern) Irish Canary 48]

Fiver at 1000/1 please.....

[Ooh Ahh Lee Power 2]

Now moved to 11-4 favourites on Sky Bet. Something happening for it to drop so much so quickly?

[Thecanaryfan 0]

Sky know something we don''t perhaps. A drastic shortening of odds doesn''t happen for no reason.

I just cant see Norwich paying his insane salary demands.

[HertsCanary93 223]

Betfred still offering 12/1 if anyone is interested. We''re now joint favorites on a few other sites.

[lappinitup 629]

I''ve just seen an Austin 7 parked at a jaunty angle on the ASDA car park. I don''t know if it means anything but Grabban is No 7 and he might be off. [^o)]

[Dame to Blame 108]

Probably bookies been looking at our bids for Afobie being turned down, putting 2 and 2 together thinking we are unlikely to get Afobie and will go in for Austin as he IS Available.

[andyc24_uk 79]

Oh god, please don''t tell me we''re going to re-sign Morrison?!!!

[Canary Wundaboy 1,423]

Considering I put a tenner on at 33/1 a week ago I would love this to be true. Also great for the club etc etc etc :D

[Van wink 2,994]

It will happen.

[ruthers1 0]

Lol! I knew I''d get some takers.

Truth is I shouldn''t have offered ANY odds up as I have some key inside info and you''d only lose your pennies.

Trust me we are not going to pay what he''s asking for - I saw £45k a week mentioned earlier in this thread? Lol! Nowhere near his demands my friend.

Move on - we won''t pay anywhere near what he''s asking - it won''t be Austin.

[wcorkcanary 4,784]

Good.

I saw the 45 mentioned earlier and thought it looked off. I''ve heard 85k is what he''s after but no reliable source on that, but I suspect it''s at least 65.

Bournemouth now been backed heavily for Austin too, but I doubt he goes there either.

[ruthers1 0]

If you''re all desperate for a sure thing -

Bet on Brittleton tonight in the 6.40 at Goidwood - needs every yard of the extra trip - must be backed

[Buh 0]

He''s a great player, I''d love to see him here

But if we could scrape together enough to pay his price tag I''m not sure we could pay him what he wants or get him to come to Norfolk

So, for now, he remains Jordan Rhodes

[Essjayess 307]

Palace would swoop on him in an instant. and that would satisfy his urge to stay in London...if  only Bournemouth would have Murray and we have Gayle..after next tuesday  it will feel surreal to have no transfer rumours to ponder about.
