As reported elsewhere, #wba are trying to sign Charlie Austin on a permanent deal from Southampton. Striker is travelling to the Midlands this morning for talks
Charlie Austin on a perm deal is very confusing.
If you compare it to us signing Gayle, you would argue that its very similar.
Austin is older
Austin and Gayle would probably be offered the same wages
Austin may cost a few million less
Overall the deals would be very similar, high wages, no sell on value. Makes the whole comments about not signing Gayle very bizzare.
That being said, a fully fit Charlie Austin in a championship team with Sawyers, Krovonovic, Phillips, Edwards, Pereria all supplying him, you would hope he would hit 20 goals.
