king canary 7,605 Posted January 16, 2016 Tbf that is a really good signing- £4m for a player who has proven he score goals at this level is ludicrously cheap.However several are saying that he really wanted to move back to the south coast so not much we could do about that.

The Telegraph exclusive makes clear that Austin was just running down his contract and would have been available for nothing in the summer. And there may be considerable add-ons linked to appearances, because of his dodgy knee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whoareyou? 0 Posted January 16, 2016 Not sure he would fit into our current style anyway. He''s a poacher not someone who makes his own chances and we already have Hooper in that mould who gets nowhere near the first team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
