I'm struggling to fathom why everyone continues to repost their same stone cold takes on the matter every ten days instead of trying to ascertain if there's any new information as implied here and what its significance may or may not be.
Hi I'm new here. |  | | |

Who else would pay the sort of wages he is on now. A lot of clubs are struggling financially. The only clubs with that sort of money are the ones with Parachute payments( and there will be two less with Norwich and Watford) but will they risk it on a player who will be 32 in July. So though improbable that we can sign him it's not impossible. |  | | |

He'll be here next season, getting paid in cash Walter White style. |  | | |

The loan has benefited all parties
Charlie’s dug is out of a hole, put himself in the shop window and WBA have saved a few quid.
Would I like us to sign him, absolutely he’s pure goals and would probably guarantee us 15-20 next year but he’s way out of our price range and probably get a 2 year deal elsewhere for double what we can offer
If he signs amazing, but realistically a lot of clubs will offer more than we will. For example if Bournemouth weren’t to go up I can see them chancing their arm, Sheffield United possibly trying to get back at the first attempt and even dare I say Fulham if Mitrovic ups sticks. Oh and Forest just because they are lacking a few player [Post edited 28 Apr 2021 15:58]

No one, but that's not relevant any more. It's a matter of who's going to offer him the most attractive deal. |  |

I don't think there will be many clubs or fans apart from QPR that rate him as highly as we do.........He will not have as many choices as many of you think. | | | |
| austin on 16:27 - Apr 28 with 2404 views | BAWHoops |
He's an around £40-50k a week at the moment.
Realistically we can't offer him more than £15k
Meanwhile you'd wager the following teams could all comfortably offer him north of £20k a week and would be interested in signing him on a free
Huddersfield, Bristol City, Forest, Blackburn, Stoke, Boro, Cardiff, Swansea, Sheff U
I just don't see a world in which he ends up here |  |

Not so sure gazza.
Austin would certainly be a very attractive asset at this level or even lower Prem Team. For the latter he would be a comparatively cheap proven goal scoring option as cover for a few years. For Championship sides he has proven again this year that he brings quality and goals at this level.
The key thing though is that the financial landscape has massively changed over the past year. Whilst there will be a lot of interest him, the question will be whether the numbers work. Terms on offer wont be as favourable as would have been the case before Covid 19, his question will be whether to remain at WBA for the remaining year of his contract on a comparatively large wage or agree a settlement and release with a view to picking up a new longer contract on much lower wage.
We could remain an option, but I agree with others that he is far more likely to end up at somewhere like Bournemouth, Fulham or elsewhere in Southern England. He is a known quantity, seemingly over any injury concerns, who scores goals and will be a comparatively inexpensive option for an ambitious club. |  |

I am not so sure Dane, don't think he is Premiership quality and a team coming down will want better, or should anyway if they have ambition. If he was Premier he would have gone from WBA to Premier but he didn't - he could not get a place in their first 11 too often. Likewise I never saw a top Championship side showing ant interest prior to his 'dream move' to QPR.
We will see very soon....... [Post edited 28 Apr 2021 16:51]

i don't see a world where he ends up at any of those clubs either, barring maybe Bristol. Not a chance in hell he'll go up north as far as Boro or Sheff U. Hudd won't be paying big money.
i'm with gazza - i think people massively over estimte how muh he'll be in demand - AND how many clubs he'd fancy going to at his age. |  |

His quiet end to the season whilst Dykes grabs all the headlines might work in our favour. If he finished the season in the form Dykes is in he'd be top of a lot of shopping lists this summer |  | | |

I'd love to have him here but offer what we can afford and let fate and agents sort it out. We shouldn't be breaking the system for anyone and as others have said no one is irreplaceable.
If he doesn't sign I will be equally happy to pay three uncut diamonds with those wages instead. [Post edited 28 Apr 2021 18:10]

I don’t think we should sign him anyway. Take the sentiment out of it and it’s mission accomplished. He helped pull us out of the tailspin we were in and got us out of a relegation fight . As a useful by product he has helped the development of our strikers , notably Dykes . So , job done and we move on and spend our budget on a younger striker with pace and a better fitness record. Imagine if we blew the budget on Chaz and he’s injured for half the season? |
This all day long. Cannot understand people’s preoccupation with Austin for next season. He’s been invaluable for this season of our transition, but re-signing him next year would gobble up precious budget and create roadblocks for further development of our strikers/assets. |  | | |

No chance he'll go to Prem side. I'm pretty sure the option is WBA's, not Austin's, and I'm equally sure they won't exercise it. | |

He said he's deeply in love with QPR and will play for us for free as long as the club show some ambition to push for promotion. Should he miraculously end up playing for a club that for FFP, income, turnover, parachute payment and rules of the competition reasons can pay him far more than we can then it is purely down to their greater ambition, and QPR's lack of ambition, and we should Tweet our digust at the club for its lack of ambition en masse for the next 18 months or so. |
"Ambition"
First used after "match my" to substitute "wage demands" by Terry and Rooney when they were looking to screw their respective clubs for £250k a week. It's an unintelligent way to tell the fans that they're not greedy and it's the clubs fault if they walk. Thick as $hit | | | |

Do not understand this. Players we are told hold all the aces so why should any player sign a contract where the club holds all the aces. | | | |

Give his wife and kids a job working for one of the owner's companies on around £1m a year working 10 minutes a week on match days at LR and then pay Chaz something that keeps us in line with the S&P rules.
What's that? It's against the rules? Surely not; if Shrek can be paid by an external company, clubs can sell their stuff back to themselves for ridiculous sums and Forest can employ the population of a small country on their playing staff there can't be any (enforceable) rules, surely? |  |

Chaz won't be coming here. He will go to Fulham, who will sell Mitro to Watford for big monies. And Chas will be a backup for Armstrong who they will buy from Blackburn. |  |

hopefully, Chaz goes to Fulham, Mitro to Watford, Armstrong to Fulham, who use him as a swap in order to lure Johansen from QPR, who has really impressed them this season and they have quite forgotten they own. | | | |

Love to see him stay. Austin and Dykes up top would be the best pairing in the Championship. According to a report out this morning he is willing to take a pay cut, with incentives for things like goals. He also has other businesses, and seems to like the talk show work too.
I think he stays, short of a MLS team throwing big bucks around. He is a gret influence on QPR | | | |

Could have given him a choice
Club could have said 3yr contract on 40k and we have option on third year, or 2yr contract on 35k |  | | |

Dififcult for many players this year as finance will be tighgter than ever, not sure a PL side will be that interested if WBA werent this season - they sorely missed a natuaral goalscorer and BIG Fat SAm didnt go for him, so who would at that level?
Whatever happens it's been great to see him back, and going back has not soured previous memories either.
Good Luck next Charlie - (depending a bit) |  | | |
