SuperSAINT Posted 10 May, 2019 Share Posted 10 May, 2019 He will need to take a significant paycut if he is to leave in the summer. Doesn't it depend where he goes?

striker Posted 11 May, 2019 Share Posted 11 May, 2019 Under the right scheme he can score in the PL. This is not Ralphs scheme. Any of the Championship teams coming up, Brighton, Burnley, etc could all use him. Frankly though, going back to QPR where is he still is a hero may be his best option.

saintwbu Posted 11 May, 2019 Share Posted 11 May, 2019 Always felt like Palace would be a good fit for him, albeit they may play on the counter a bit much for him, but with balls constantly coming into the box he’d still be lethal at this level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do and probably will but Austin is worth nowhere near the wages we are paying him. At least it’s only for a year, unlike Carrillo or Forster.

mrfahaji Posted 25 May, 2019 Share Posted 25 May, 2019 We do and probably will but Austin is worth nowhere near the wages we are paying him. At least it’s only for a year, unlike Carrillo or Forster. And we did only pay 4m for him. Standard in those instances to see higher wages. As far as I know his preference is not to move that far north (Birmingham max) but obviously money talks, it might be that he (or the club) don’t get many offers and he has to take whatever is available.

skintsaint Posted 25 May, 2019 Share Posted 25 May, 2019 Rangers are a big club, he would do well north of the border and still earn a good wage. Would be a tempting offer rather than playing in the Championship or lower league PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwertyell Posted 26 May, 2019 Share Posted 26 May, 2019 Even ings has been transformed to a striker who cannot score, do you still think that it is the strikers' problems and not ours?Even Ings? The most goals he's ever scored in a Premier League season is 11. So, two major knee injuries later and a shadow of the player he used to be, having lost his pace, which was his main asset, a return of 7 goals is probably as good as anyone could've expected. We signed a briefly half-decent striker whose best days are far behind him. I don't think it's any more complicated than that.
