Moaning about possibly signing Pato (!) over Austin. It's nuts.

I think they're saying they'd rather a proven PL goalscorer rather than a has-been from Brazil who costs 3x as much.

Both deals would be rubbish anyway. Better off just using someone from the academy.

Like a certain Patrick Bamford....

Has been a good buy for 4m.

Finding a player 2 miles down the road in Shepherds Bush doesnt enter Buckenalos remit though. To fit the Chelsea profile they got to be foreign, unheard of, expensive, and then willing to go out on loan never to be heard of again.

Don't think he is the type of player to be happy at being second choice. We would have ruined his career if we signed him just like we did with Remy.

[Jase 43,479]

Don't get why people think we made a mistake in not signing Austin (mainly saying this based on the reaction I've seen elsewhere).

Yes, we need goalscorers but we also need someone who is capable of challenging Costa for that No.1 spot. We don't need someone who will be just there to add depth or provide cover. Already have that in Remy and it makes no sense to add another player with similar role in the squad. On top of that, while Austin is a decent player who guarantees goals, the same few fellas who complain about us not signing him would probably be the same ones who moan about us having a squad filled with average players down the line.

Falcing useless has had at least 4m in wages so far The club is a shambles. The rot is at the top and has filtered down. A bunch of arse lickers and business men who know sod all about football. Winning trophies has papered over cracks for years. There seems to be no cohesive plan forward. Hire manager....sack manager....put promising young players out on loan....let contract run down....player ends up in lower leagues. Rinse and repeat.

Soon as someone goes on loan you know that's it.come back..on loan again and goodbyeee

Oh look...Austin scores and now he's the hottest topic in the transfer section. Damn you board/roman for not having the benefit of the shortest hindsight ever. Give over, he's never in our league even at this woeful junction 

[Fulham Broadway 16,404]

Papa and Hector are in 'our league' though apparently

How we are paying Falcing useless 200 000 a week while Bamford and Solanke are disregarded is a symptom of Buckenalo bonkersness

Could have easily got him to partner costa up top. Actually give our opponents something to think about
