Charlie Austin

Back in the Football League with Swindon Town. I think he will score a bag load at that level, if fit of course. Great signing for Swindon.

Cited family reasons for leaving Australia. I still rate him, and I think he is a great signing for Swindon.

Didn't he do a Reality tv show about his move to Australia ?

Been in steady decline since the end of his first spell at QPR.
Not sure he'll do much at Swindon, depends on how his body holds up.

Could prove a shrewd signing for promotion chasing Swindon, if he can stay fit he'll provide goals at that level, similar to when Burnley signed Ian Wright in the twilight of his career, and though he didn't score many (4 I think) they were all vital goals that won us valuable points.

I hope he does well at Swindon but I fear he may struggle now. He struggled to start at WBA under different managers, and his second spell at QPR was not much more productive. No doubt Talk Sport will welcome him back too

He was a brilliant player. Look at his goal record

His biggest mistake, and I said it at the time, was not leaving QPR after his first prem season with them. He scored 18 in 35 prem games! That’s bloody amazing but he stayed with qpr and went to the championship and then got injured and his career was never the same. At the time of score 18 in 35 I seriously wondered why a spurs or arsenal were not In for him

He loves Town, so moving there to stay playing. My bro reckons he’s also lining up as a coach for the younger players too
