6 million for him is a rip off.

He's done well so far, doesn't mean he's worth that much!

6 million sounds about right considering what other strikers at this level have gone for.

Well he's on 15-20 grand a week 80k a month x 12. thats just short of a million... we might as well give him away effectively we'd bepaying 5 million for Austin...

Anyway I dont even know how much he's worth we need to stop f*cking around though thats for sure and buy some serious players...

we are top of the league FFS :twisted:

Rhodes wasn't that much more - with a far more consistent scoring record for Huddersfield.

although i agree, it'll be hard to find a proven goalscorer in that kind of form for anything less. And Burnley did flog Jay Rodriguez for £7m if i do remember correctly...

6 million in this division for someone whos tearing it apart when a player like Michu cost 2 million... No.

Id rather bring in Vellios from Everton.

He said we need to stop fcking around and buy some players, like its currently an option :shock:

According to Carl MM has made his list so we shall wait and see.

austin for swindon and burnley 75 in 132
rhodes for hudds 87 in 148


not that much of a difference really and some of those austin goals are at a higher level.

Perfectly reasonable that he would sell for the same as rhodes

Austin's contract runs until June 2014, so his value is in fact decreasing from January 2013, as city fans it would be nice to mug someone else for a change

lol another who hides behind the opinion bullshit :roll:


its not about right or wrong, they have a comparable scoring record, are similar in age. stands to reason that they would attract similar fees.

Maybe we should look further afield ourselves in future. It hasn't done a particular neighbour of ours any harm recently...

Re: 6 Million for austin & Earnshaw

Mon Dec 03, 2012 10:27 pm

So you're opinion is always right is it?

It's my opinion - the reason for that opinion is that his contract has a LOT less to run than Rhodes.

Therefore making him cheaper... But it's only your opinion that counts, isn't it? :roll:

Anyway, not always about number of goals - as the Rudy fans amongst us keep saying ;)
