Charlie Austin (Queens Park Rangers to the Premier League)
It beggars belief that there weren’t any takers for the 25-year-old striker, who was the fourth top scorer in the Premier League last season with 18 goals, and was thought to be available for £15m.
Crystal Palace, West Bromwich Albion, Bournemouth, Tottenham Hotspur and even Manchester United were linked with Austin, but nobody made a move. The player is now focussed on QPR, but could yet end up in the top flight in the New Year when clubs fighting relegation will be desperate for a goalscorer.
