    But they were relegated and then regained promotion. When you go down there is a certain amount of restructuring but they have not been in the league for a number of years uninterrupted. Hence why they have only been in the league a couple of years (under the current regime).

    The deal could be a goer if the bid is raised to £12.5 million and Leicester throw in a 6000SUX?

    Because Newcastle is a big club and the others interested are not.

    I'm resigned to the fact that Charlie will leave, and not really fussed where he goes [as long as it's not Chelsea!] I just hope it's all sorted out soon and doesn't turn into another Remy fiasco and we find ourselves starting the season without a replacement.

    Other than Newcastle interest, it's the biggest club to date.

    In a team that plays with Bournemouth's attacking style I could see Charlie scoring a lot more than 18 goals next season, Howe signed him for Burnley so it looks a good fit...

    We should hang on to Chas and let him go on a free next season if we don't go up. Simples!!!

    Newcastle United keen to sign Charlie Austin but injury concerns mean they are only willing to pay £12m for QPR striker.

    Newcastle United are keen to buy QPR striker Charlie Austin
    They will not pay more than £12million due to concerns over his shoulder
    QPR are hoping to earn £15m from the sale of the former Burnley striker
    He failed a medical at Hull City in 2013 - believed to be due to the injury

    Doubts over a long-standing shoulder injury mean Newcastle United are only prepared to pay £12million for Queens Park Rangers frontman Charlie Austin.
    The striker scored 18 goals in an ultimately doomed Premier League campaign last season, with QPR hoping to recoup £15m.
    But the Magpies do not want to stretch to that given his past injury record.
    Newcastle are interested in signing Charlie Austin but are only willing to pay QPR £12million for him.

    They are concerned about a long-standing shoulder injury and will not pay the £15m QPR are hoping for.

    Austin failed a medical at Hull City back in 2013, when he was at Burnley. That is believed to have boiled down to his shoulder.

    And the 25-year-old missed a chunk of QPR’s promotion from the Championship a year later after damaging the bone and cartilage in his shoulder, an injury which required surgery.

    Steve McClaren, however, is desperate to add Austin to his ranks and Newcastle could yet broker a deal.

    Austin failed a medical at Hull City in 2013 which is believed to have been a result of his shoudler injury
