Make of it what you will but my nephew and a few lads I know play championship level football and sometimes bet on things that maybe they shouldn't and I've just been advised to put a tenner on Charlie Austin joining United just thought I would share.

If he signs, woodward should be sacked!

I would find that quite astonishing and damning proof that all is not well at the club and we have had a disastrous transfer strategy and no real plan.
Smells of desperation and not sure what on earth we are doing there lol.

Really nozzla? Why would that be out of interest.

QPR have said from the start of the window at the right price. If he was a first choice target (which I highly doubt) then one has to wonder why we didn't sign him as soon as the window opened to give him time to settle in. If he wasn't our first choice - then we should be asking why we're having to settle for second best. Either way the fault lies with LVG and EW.

I doubt he was number 2 or even number 5 on the list mate.

I'm mystified as to why this would be such a terrible signing ?I agree he would not have been first choice but at the right price I imagine it would be a decent bit of business.
I would have thought the whole Di Maria/Falcao debacle would have shown people an exotic name and excessive price tag guarantees nothing.

GCU. I'm inclined to agree. I don't think he's a bad player; but I don't see him as a champions league player. That said; I don't see us as a champions league club at the moment.

Deano, I don't think it would be a terrible signing by any means, but I agree with redseven - it shows a serious lack of any sort of transfer strategy.

He might turn out to be a handy signing but he is way down the list i would think. There are a number of teams looking for a striker and the fact that he is still there with 48 hours to go is a bit odd.

The fact that he's been linked with Villa and Newcastle for most of the window says a lot about his caliber. He's not a bad finisher - but in a side where very few chances are created we needed something more from a striker.
To be honest there aren't many top strikers about - but there are a hell of a lot who are better than Austin.
