Being reported that we've put in a starting bid of 10m for Austin.

Should have bought him years ago

we're definitely not interested in Austin, the club released information to the Echo stating as much.

sounds like this is QPR touting him around to get his price up as well as his agent trying to get him into a bidding war to up his wages.

Shame, think he would be useful

I don't understand why we would want to bring him in at all. I'm more of a reader than a poster on here but I have to intervene.

OK, he's probably in the top third of English strikers in the PL but we have King Rod coming back, Pelle will play well with him and Mane is hot property. Shane Long is proven PL quality and needs game time to reach his best. I'm not sure about Juanmi, an unknown for me - a gamble, but that's worked before. Unless we are looking to sell any of last seasons forwards, and with Sammy G and M in backup, I think we should spend the money elsewhere.

Just my two penneth.

Oh! And Mayuka when he's fit has great potential, again he just needs game time.

Mayuka hahahaha. Give over. Couldn't get a game for the u21. Seeger is ahead o him surely.

Lol mangochutney u really would have mayuka over austin plus jayrod might never rediscover his form after that injury ie Owen, gallagher prob won't make the grade, long will struggle for 10 goals

Pelle holds the ball up well, so does Austin. Pelle played pretty much every game last season. Gallagher looks good good, he can also hold the ball.
So 3 strikers can rotate that role in a busy season.
other attacking options new and old would all be adaptable to the wings and behind striker.
Can totally see why we would want Austin. It's a good sign that the club will aim to really have a go at the Europe league
