Apparently it's in the People today that we are putting in a £4 M bid for Charlie Austin. I do rate him and not sure if there is any substance to this. I would love to see him at the CG I think he is our type of player. Would that be instead of Billy Sharp then? Or would Billy play him out wide?

4 million for a striker? He will need to score over 20 goals a season to justify that hefty price.
4 million for a striker to be played out of position on the wing? Dear god no.

Well he certainly can get more than 20 goals, he can create something out of nothing and he can deliver a great ball. I take your point though Raymond....but how much is Chris Cohen worth as a midfielder? Playing at left back?

Ward for £4. Mmm, might be a couple of quid profit in that deal!

I think playing Cohen at LB is a last resort. Also he was only worth £500,000 so there is a little less expectation and a bit more adaptability when compared to a star striker signed for the transfer budget of two strong championship clubs.
Austin is class and he will grab goals at any club. However signing anyone for £4 million makes me extremely uneasy to be honest.
Anything above £2 million scares me. Purely for the stability (not just financially but also with the cohesion of the team).
