As if Falcao would do better. He might be on loan from Monaco but he's been a waste at 2 big clubs. Austin would outscore him. Rooney's on £260k a week and bar a few easy goals this last fortnight has done sweet FA. Given TLC and faith there's no reason why Austin could not be a Vardy/ Kane type English striker. Just because a player is from abroad it doesn't mean they will be good or suit EPL
I was stunned not a single EPL club bar West Brom went for Austin as back up when QPR became relegated. He's a classic 12 - 15 goals a season type player. Last season might not have not been a blip. To score 19 goals - only behind Kane, Costa and Aguero is an amazing feat, especially playing along side QPR's oldies, past their best and all round crap players. QPR could have got £15m for him last summer. When Aston Villa go down they should definitely sell Grielish and get a good deal on him.
Why are top clubs persuing Beharino rather than Austin?
