Not sure this fella has his own thread, but here you go buddy:

New contract for Austin | Tottenham Hotspur

We are delighted to announce that Brandon Austin has signed a new contract with the Club, which will run until 2029.

That’s 3rd choice GK sorted for the foreseeable! And surely spells the end of Alfie Whiteman.

Would rather promote him to 2nd and use Keeley as 3rd

 

[Chrissivad]

Not seen enough of him to know if he is good enough to step up to be our back up keeper, but I would rather see Keeley back out on loan getting game time again.

Just thinking its amazing that he's 25, yet only played 19 games of adult football in his entire career

Its a bit sad really

Its a bit sad really

Why is it sad?

 

[Danishfurniturelover]

Why is it sad?

That he is that age and not played much football.

The reason we all played as kids was because we love the game.

But the poor lad is wasting his life. Would do better to drop down a league or two.

Hope he is happy.

He's already achieved more than most people, earning more than a comfortable wage and probably setting himself up for a nice post-career life as a coach. I can think of a lot worse ways for someone to spend their 20s-30s.

But wouldn't you want to actually play football?

I have not played a game in years, but I loved playing when I was in teams.

Pay me £7,500 a week to not play football and just do 2 hours a day training? I'll take it.

I find that sad

 

[Lilbaz]

I find that sad

Why? I'm not playing football now snd getting f all.

Its sad that you expect a young man to prefer money over playing football.

Let’s be fair… it’s life changing money
If you asked 99.9999% of humans if they would like £10k a week for 10/12 years and only work 2/3 hours a day outdoors wit( your mates
I think they would all say where do they sign

But if you were good enough to get that here you could get half somewhere else and play football.

Also I think its short sighted because at the end of that contract if he has not played for us he won't likely get a new contract anywhere, where as if he went to the lower leagues he could if he had faith in his abilities work his way up.

Spoken like a football fan I guess
