Yeah but it won't be 15m upfront will it? We will never know the details of a contract, but my guess is, it will be in instalments.

Or someone mentioned a loan, like they did with Remy. Could only happen if Austin signs a contract with QPR, unlikely though.

It still committing to paying 15 mil though, mate. And QPR's main asset in terms of players.

If the rumours are true, say Spurs were in for him, they could likely offer more upfront than us. So from QPR's point of view they'd wanna do business with Spurs over us.

Obviously if Austin himself wanted to go to us, or we were the only team after him (if we're even in for him). Then yes, maybe.

I'm positive we aren't signing Charlie Austin.

Probably not but with the amount of murmurs about it, worth a few quid.

Pretty much how i see it.
40s is too good of an opportunity to turn down if theres a possibility.

I only lashed a fiver on it at 40s in the hopes it may happen, if not, ahh well! If it does, happy days!

Yeah no harm in having a bet, just shows you how the market can be manipulated though. For stuff like Stones to Chelsea the odds mean literally nothing because the media are pushing the transfer 24/7 so everyone's betting on it.

Yeah the lad who tweeted, Dazzler or something?, seemed absolutely certain something was happening with it.

Aye, im hoping for yarmolenko to get announced at half time at watford myself mate, still think we need someone to actually create as the prio, austin would be nice like but realistically we have maybe enough for one 12-14m signing the rest will be loans or 5m or so types.

Anything over 10-15+ remaining would be a surprise to me. A pleasant one, like.

I would prefer a creator, but can understand if the manager would prefer to get a striker given how awful Kone has looked, plus we've managed without a creative midfielder for a few years now.

As for Yarmolenko, there's no doubt he's a quality player. I don't think he's the type of player we're after though. I think we're after a Pienaar or David Silva kind of player.

I'm suddenly all excited again for a new season after a few weeks of gloom. Watch that be shattered as we get in deadline deals for adebayor, senderos and jimmy McFadden. It's the Everton way

Rondon or Quintero would be big money, £20m easy, no way we're getting either of them unless maybe Quintero on loan

No chance. Rondon being quoted at €17mil (so around £12.5mil) and Quintero is being touted at around £8mil - he's hardly played at Porto.

Lol at people thinking we're gonna spend £15milion on a back up striker.

Kone is probably going to QPR to soften the deal!lol

Try taking a look at his last 20 tweets -

Seems crystal clear to me that he's just a lad arsing around, he doesn't know a thing.

Who is that?

Ha, so now that I can view it on my computer (I was on a phone before) it all looks a bit messi to me.

Hmmmm. The renewed positivity around here has got to everyone. Stop it :dodgy:

At this point, with McCarthy signed, Kev probably going to, if Stones does too that that is great business.

Get in that defender from Napoli (sorry, cant remember his name, Shaquiri or Honda and Austin or Yarmalenko, Ill be happy. Although to get three of those we will have to sell Stones.
