NSmith22 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I'm still trying to figure out why it would be such a terrible decision to sign Austin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl the Pearl Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I think the main issue is his pricetag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7392craig Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I'd love us to sign him, I know a lot of people are saying we're not in for him, but fingers are still firmly crossed ✌ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Dogg Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) I think the main issue is his pricetag. Richard says we're not in for him plus he has a dodgy knee. However, without the injury problems he is easily worth 15 million in today's market. Edited July 21, 2015 by Mr_Dogg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Without them yeah - he's a good striker but that knee is not worth gambling on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Okore's injury could be a silver lining, I thought we needed another CB anyway, this might force sherwoods hand Say what?? Okore is injured? *runs off to check whats happened and how serious it is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Can't see many more coming in tbh. Possibly adebayor to fill a void by benteke but just can't see Lerner spending much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 21, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2015 17 days to the start of the season - I'd like to see a bit more pace to things, I still think we need at least three more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 According with a portuguese journalist, Islam Slimani is a possibility to sign with Villa. His price is around €10m and €15m. Don't tease me. This would be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyBM Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 surely even Lerner has now realized that due to neglecting first team investment, it now calls for him to dig even deeper into his pocket. Charlie Austin would be a brilliant buy, that's why i don't think it'll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Lerner needs to add at least £20m to the kitty on top of whatever we make from selling players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without his goals we would already be in the Championship. Would be suicide from Lerner. Edited July 21, 2015 by calcifer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Lerner needs to add at least £20m to the kitty on top of whatever we make from selling players. Imo, we've probably already spent half of the money we've made from selling players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Saw someone retweet this, guy is a freelance journalist/writes for the villans voice. Just passing it on @Heathy_25: £16m bid submitted to #QPR by #avfc for 18 #Premier League goal machine Charlie Austin. #NUFC put-off by asking price. Sherwood has money to burn. Heathy knows nothing.

TrentVilla Posted July 21, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 21, 2015 No way Lerner will spend £20m on top of player sales. That would see us spend in the region of £65m this summer and there no way that is going to happen. A guy struggling to sell a club for £150m isn't about to spend £65m even if the majority of that comes from player sales. As for Austin, I would also be surprised if we are in for him.
