Charlie Austin's proposed transfer to West Ham broke down today after Hammers' owner David Sullivan told a West Ham podcast (via ESPN) that the QPR striker "has no ligaments in his knees."

Austin himself responded to Sullivan's comments in a statement posted to Twitter, labelling them "inaccurate, misleading and uninformed."

Sky Sports attempted to report the whole story but accidentally mixed up the word knee with a different part of Austin's anatomy. (Warning: Contains NSFW language.)

Fair enough. That's a mistake anyone could make.
