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

[Lightnin]

Bristol City are after him too

We should see off Bristol City .................. he say's crossing fingers. Austin will be a right handful in this league. Really hope we get him.

Strikes me as a Ricky Lambert type signing. No thanks.

Austin is worth a punt provided we're not paying a fee and just plumping for the bulk of his wages.

Gayle would always be the preferred signing, given he's not available on those terms it seems, Austin isn't a terrible substitute.

It'll be a permanent for Austin

And that's my concern.

Daily Mail are saying season's loan, but given he has 12 months left on his deal, I can't see Saints doing that unless it's a Greening style loan/purchase.

We cannot pay a fee for Austin... and we certainly can't commit to wages of 40-70k depending on where you read beyond this season!

Played with Phillips at QPR & had a good understanding. It's a yes from me.

Charlie Austin on his way to West Brom from Southampton to sign on a permanent deal. West Brom also getting two more players today....

So along with Pereira and Diagonal then... Means no full time striker for the whole season. That would be disappointing.

He was always on our list wasn’t he
Gone back in for him obviously after others have failed to materialise
He’s a finisher at this level and we have a good record with players who have had injury’s in the past
We would all prefer Gayle but he is quality
