The same Charlie Austin who netted 18 goals for QPR in the Prem then netted around 10 for southampton this season and would probably be on about 15 had he not been out injured the past 2 months?
Koeman signed him for Southampton and he's a proven scorer in the prem- something we will need unless you want us to spunk all the money on a bunch of Markovic's and Origi's in the hopes of 1 actually proving half decent.
Batshuyai is a quality player but doubt Koeman will look at him. We'll be downgrading from Rom regardless as we can't attract CL quality strikers otherwise Rom wouldn't be looking to leave.
Thing is mate, on that list is a whole lot of junk as well
Difference between a big squad and a squad big and good enough to handle the extra games.
Valencia
Kone
Deulofeu
Mcgeady
Tarashaj
Cleverley
Garbutt
Jagielka
Those will 99% certain to all be gone, either permanently or on loan again.
That brings the 31 players down to 23 straight away.
That comes down to 22 when factoring in Bolasie being out till next year at least.
Galloway, Browning, Lennon have all barely feautured or in galloways case had a failed loan spell - be surprised if any play many more minutes for us.
And that's not counting players such as Barry (age), besic (fitness), mirallas (is he rated by the manager) or McCarthy (maybe wants a move still)
If
4-5 of that final seven I mentioned leave, which isn't a huge stretch of the imagination then were down to 17-18 players,
'm reading so much about Carroll and Benteke..... No wonder Rom is complaining about ambition. How does anyone see Carroll or Benteke taking us to Champions League is beyond me. Think Koeman and Walsh would have a good laugh reading some of these posts.

Anyone else think Austin would be a good and realistic replacement for Rom? Big, strong, holds the ball up and can finish. Him and someone like Batshuyai or Martial and I'll be happy with that.
No thanks. Lacks bollocksLanzini from West Ham?
