Charlie Austin coming back? on 11:14 - Aug 15 with 4650 views | Maggsinho | Was just going to post this, sounds like nonsense to me but I guess you never know, would he want to uproot himself and his family to Liverpool to Everton? If he's allowed to leave on loan I would guess there would be plenty of Prem clubs in the South, eg Bournemouth, West Ham, Palace, Watford etc who would be interested. | | | |

Charlie Austin coming back? on 11:40 - Aug 15 with 4480 views | eghamranger | Sounds rubbish and also Southampton aren't flush with strikers as mane and pelle left. The main reason he went there was that he didn't have to move house etc. I bet he we would like to come back but we couldn't afford him now!! | | | |
Charlie Austin coming back? on 11:49 - Aug 15 with 4421 views | RANGERS4EVER | Wouldnt want him back. We've finally become a team, and having him back would just make us become the 'Austin show' again, and would destroy the confidence of all the other attackers | |

Charlie Austin coming back? on 12:01 - Aug 15 with 4361 views | runningman75 | Austin scored goals for a poor Premier League team (QPR). He was on the bench for Southampton but would be a good career move to Everton if Koeman is interested. I rate Koeman and spoke to Arsenal supporting friends who wanted them to go for him and get rid of Wenger. | | | |

They played Redmond (not a natural striker) at the weekend ahead of him - that's not going to make you feel very valued - so no surprise at all to see him move on. Can't believe anyone STILL thinks he will go to West Ham after what the Chairman said about him last year! | | | | Login to get fewer ads
Charlie Austin coming back? on 12:19 - Aug 15 with 4231 views | rsonist | Whole thing seems like complete rubbish to me. He's not out of favour at all - been injured for a start and Southampton were always going to be more flexible about their forward line than we were. | | | |
Charlie Austin coming back? on 12:23 - Aug 15 with 4197 views | Northernr | He'd get a Prem move if he did leave I reckon, really think this is pie in the sky. | | | |
Charlie Austin coming back? on 12:33 - Aug 15 with 4119 views | paulparker | no thanks , was great for us but we have both moved on if he moves it will be to either, Wolves, Newcastle or Villa | |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Charlie Austin coming back? on 12:39 - Aug 15 with 4076 views | cyprusmel | In the light of reducing our wage bill, I think that it would be unlikely for Charlie to return even on loan. The wages he must be on now at Southampton are not the wages our board would sanction in my opinion. | | | |
(No subject) (n/t) on 12:45 - Aug 15 with 4041 views | Brightonhoop | JFH has got a really good unit going and I cant see him risking his hard work for a 'star' player. For me Austin should be fighting for his place at Southampton or prove himself at Everton. [Post edited 15 Aug 2016 16:05]

Probable, but you know how "current" the player market is. In football terms a long time since he has done anytihng at that level, plus he has an extensive recent injury record. 7/1 against him coming back to us I reckon, so unlikely but not a shock of Leicester City proportions I don't think. | | | |
Charlie Austin coming back? on 14:47 - Aug 15 with 3611 views | bosh67 | I think he will stay at Southampton. | |

Charlie Austin coming back? on 15:35 - Aug 15 with 3470 views | strikerace | I'd take him back with open arms. Having a proven PL goal scorer upfront would give us the push we need to move back to the PL. Plus he was very well liked here. | | | |
Charlie Austin coming back? on 15:52 - Aug 15 with 3394 views | robith | Why would he come back here after some of the grief he got from some of our "fans" towards the end of his time here? | | | |

.....and also provide a huge smack in the teeth for our current first choice striker who has worked so hard to get the fans onside and upset opposition defences. Completely the wrong move atm. | | | |

But there's been chat about the club wanting another striker anyways, and you'd hope that whoever they'd be looking at would be there to challenge for a starting place? The fact that Charlie Austin would challenge for a starting position is a good thing surely. I don't think it would happen, but my point remains - IF we are looking for another striker, it's not as a back up to Polter, it'd be to give him some competition right? | | | |

If we are looking for a striker to provide Polter with competition, there's not a chance that Austin would want to be that man. He has every right to walk into a starting position with any mid to lower PL side, never mind one in the Championship. | | | |

I agree he's a Premier League standard player, and it's unrealistic to think we'll see him back here anytime soon. But being linked with players like Bamford is exactly the same - a player who will keep Polter, or Washington or both out of the side. Yes it'd be harsh on Polter, but if JFH is looking to strengthen the front line, it's because he thinks we're light in that position and/or he thinks it needs improving | | | |
Charlie Austin coming back? on 17:31 - Aug 15 with 3045 views | simmo | It's unlikely anyway and as much as he's amazing, I think we're doing things differently now and that means the likes of Austin are in the past. Get the next Austin before he cost £4m+, fine, but not the premier league quality version that would cost big money and instantly displace the likes of Polter who deserve to keep the shirt. | |

Totally agree with you Antti and would give the wrong message to Polter. | | | |

Totally agree. Although Austin was great he reminds me of one of the worst time periods of our clubs history. | |
