20 goals in 17 games this season
Failed to score in just three of those
16 the last 11 matches
74 in 110 starts since leaving his job as a brickie

Not saying he is or will be Premier class but those are ridiculous stats

I'm sure we must have been rumoured to have been in for him at some point...........

    Got him at 16-1 to be top scorer with Van Persie. Zoko and Nardelio. 2 in will do.
  • Wish we'd have had the dosh to buy him at the time , surely he'll go to a Prem club in January.

    Played against him twice when he was @ Poole Town. First game he was absolutely shocking. There was a lot of talk about him at the time and just didn't get it. Second game though he tore us a new one. People say its about that half a yard but this guy was always in space, had 5 yards on everyone. Difference in quality was unbelievable at times.
  • Better than Rhodes ???

    If so then they must be rubbing their hands oooop nth if Rhodes went for 8 mil then what's his value
  • Were never in with a chance with signing him.

    Millwall were though.
  • Will go in jan
    For at least 12 mill
  • Better then Rhodes for me, class , will go in Jan if Burnley arent in the top 6.

    Signed on fifa, was class but accidentally sold him :( had him for whole half season lol

    I was clearly wrong - he is Premier class.

    I've heard Ramsey saying that Austin doesn't want to sign for a club going to be in another relegation battle and that if a top 10 club doesn't come in for him then he's happy to stay - hope not!

    I remember reading the QPR forums in the Harry season when they went up to the Premier and a bunch of their fans were saying Austin was a good champ striker and nothing else and would be a clown in the premier league.

    ...ended up being the best striker in the premier league.

    Always annoys me how Harry Kane gets more attention than Austin. Austin has scored 18 goals with limited service in a tragic QPR team. Kane gets considerably better service and scores 1 more goal and the papers are having kittens.

    Kanes a lot younger and definitely has more to offer then Austin in terms of overall play and is a lot more pacier, overall just a better and more exciting prospect. Both lethal in front of goal though.

    Trust me Kane is fast approaching the dreaded explosion of negativity and revisionist criticism.
    It's what we English do so well - set them up to knock them down.
    Give him a few more England games and a barren spell in the PL and he will have been "found out".
    Austin would do well to stay under the radar

    He'll probably get to play the first game of the season, rip us a new one and then swan off to the premier league.

    Talking of swans, he may join Jonjo who would provide the service he needs.
  • I really hope Qpr hurry up and flog him!

    We played against some incredible talent in league one in that first season, Austin, Lambert, Holt, Lallana, Fonte, Schneiderlin...
