Even though I knew before today that this was going to happen, I am pretty disappointed we missed out on Charlie Austin. I just do not understand why Talay had no interest in him, he would've been a great like-for-like replacement for Hooper, would've known Ball from their time at Swindon Town, scored nearly 100 goals in the Championship, and had a decent goal ratio in the Premier League. What I hope now is that if Krishna does not come back, Talay currently has someone else in mind. If he does not, that German guy could be an affordable option.
There will literally be 30+ players I imagine that will having their agents contact the Nix, or vice versa. However yes won't be an easy spot to fill. Quality strikers injury free are in demand. But still over 3 months to go before the season starts, plenty of time. In Talay & Gill we trust.
