I wouldn't sign Austin at all, especially if he is a replacement for Saido. Austin is 6'3" and not that quick - exactly the same as Rondon, Lambert and Anichebe. There is no point having all 4 as none of them would work together as a partnership if we (heaven forbid) continue to play 442, and if we play 451 none of them can play out wide so will all be competing for one spot - there is no way one of Austin/Rondon will sit on the bench.

Regardless of what happens with Saido, we need creativity in the midfield - winger, box-to-box and playmaker should be where our attention is focused for this last week. If we sell him and we want another striker it has to be like-for-like, young, pacy and likes to get in behind - someone like Afobe or Embolo.
