In talks with Southampton after they agree £4m fee.
Have we missed a trick here? £4m seems a fairly negligible fee for an English striker who has a decent track record of scoring at this level.
Thoughts?

£4m, or 80% of the fee we got from Boro for Nugent. On that basis alone I would like to have seen up at the KP.
In spite of injuries, he'd be a hell of a sub to be able to bring on if we're chasing a game.
Has he been promised first team football at Saints? I wonder if Pelle might be on his way this window.

Sorry 1884 mistaken identity, there used to be another poster with that number... Welcome aboard.

Cheers Florida, will take the welcome regardless of mistaken identity!
On Austin, I think he would have been a decent shout. Not sure if he was a Pearson target specifically, I consider them all to be Walsh targets!!

I can't believe that Godfather has not got something lined up it might be a loan deal for the rest of the season?

Come on Nev spill the beans....
It seems 4 million is a steal but strange no one else chased him. Perhaps David Golds words had some truth to them....?
Personally I thought him worth the gamble at that price.

They were saying on SSN earlier they were surprised he passed the medical as one of his knees has no ligaments left . I think this is probably why some clubs didn't take a punt, especially at 4 million.

we offered 12 mil which was the only offer. they hung out for 15 mil in the summer. end of story here as QPR lost out.
