£22m Bid Rejected for Berahino

Page 3 of 5

posted on 25/8/15

This is what you get when you leave things until the last week of the window 4 days to go until Everton and still Harry Kane as our only striker just utterly ridiculous. If anyone mentions Clinton Njie as a striker I'm going to b*** slap them. He's a winger forward not a striker. We currently have 1 striker. Levy if you are not serious about offering what west brom want then just lay the f *** off this berahino transfer and go for another target quickly you bald c**!!!!!!!

£30m valuation? British inflation at its finest... I think we should cash in on a £22m rated Townsend.

posted on 25/8/15

Don't understand why people say he's not worth the money. We aren't buying him because he's good value, we're buying him because he could have a long successful career at Spurs, and then look back and say what a bargain.

Obviously if you think he's not good enough to have a good career at Spurs then fair enough, but he's young and has ability, if we can afford £25/£30m then make the offer.

Exactly bennyville. These same people that say we should walk away can't think of a player of similar quality that we could get realistically. Berahino is the best out there that will improve us at the moment in terms of prem experience etc

If we are struggling for suitable quality alternatives, then just pay the asking price, we have plenty of money, Levy has been making a profit every window for around 5 years.

I reckon this will drag on until deadline day, and eventually Berahino will be a Spurs player.

The lad wants to leave Albion and his value will only decrease after this window closes, as his contract runs down, clubs like WBA can`t afford to slash away a few million by holding a player prisoner.

More on SSN:

West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace has vetoed Tottenham's latest bid for Saido Berahino as quickly as it came in to the Hawthorns.

Details are emerging of the latest instalment-driven bid, placed this afternoon – which sees an initial bid of £18m rising to £21m with what are thought to be unrealistic clauses and targets.

The feeling at The Hawthorns is that it is now too late to replace the England U21 international – and that his goals will once again be vital to WBA’s PL survival. The midlands club are understood to value their player at nearer £30m.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

£3m bonus clauses were £1m if the club qualify for the CL in the next 5 years, and £2m if the club ever win a trophy.

Billy, berahino won't be a spurs player mate because levy won't pay what brom want. We will miss out on him like we do most our number 1 targets and we will be scrambling on the last day desperately looking for a striker. We all know this but some spurs fans are to stubborn to admit it.

Not only that but he has PL experience, which should be important to us given our history with recent forward players. If that means he can start scoring straight off the mark and not need half a season to a season to fully settle in, then it's further reason to spend that money.

Apparently the unrealistic clause is for Spurs to finish ahead of Arsenal

maybe W Brom should buy Austin then...

No wonder Levy has put a block on Fazio`s move to WBA, what with Peace trying to act all barney big bollox over the Berahino deal

posted on 25/8/15

I'd rather have Chicarito and Austin for what it'd cost for Berahino.

Both have a better goalscoring record.



Berahino's numbers ain't all that, and he strikes me as a player like Defoe to be honest - never going to be a top frontman, more a sidekick.

Why should West Brom sell to us? We have no Devine right over any of thier players, much like Modric and our refusal to sell to Chelsea the club can say no as much as they want and embarrass Spurs by public announcing it, which isn't against Premier League regulations, this Effectivly gives West Brom full contrail and they can bench player for months and make him play again:

posted on 25/8/15

Get Austin! Half the price and half the fuss!

posted on 25/8/15

Id welcome Berahino with open arms if he arrives but surely there are alternatives on the abroad of the same ability or better.

I just hope Levy and co aren't putting are looking at other alternatives with 1 week to go of the transfer window.

Theres still no concrete bids for a cm either.

sorry for the typos in the last message

Berahino got 14 league goals last season.

4 of them were penalties, which I assume he would not take for us.

10 league goals from open play in 32 starts and 6 sub appearances.

2930 minutes on the pitch - a goal every 293 minutes.

Is that really a striker worth more than 22m? One who isn't a 10 or a hold up 9, but a supposed goalscorer?

posted on 25/8/15

Surely Paul Michell or whoever are paid to find the alternatives.

posted on 25/8/15

I look at him and think....

Is he going to give us a physical presence, someone who can get a head on a ball or occupy a couple of defenders?
No

Is he going to give us a spark of creativity, drop off and make things happen?
No

Does he give us a good, consistent goalscoring threat?
No

Is he quick?
Yes

On balance, do I think he will make a big enough amount of difference to justify his price, considering two of our other attacking midfielders matched or bettered his non-penalty goals?
No

For someone who was only in their 2nd full season in the premier league, and in a very uncreative West Brom team.

Again, we aren't trying to buy him because he can't stop scoring, he's young and talented, and we obviously identify him as someone who will work well with our creative players.

Kane scored 7 goals in 22 games for Millwall in the championship, and no one thought much of him.

posted on 25/8/15

You can't just pull Kane out as an argument for buying Berahino. Nobody thought much of Kane, No, but nobody was asking for a fortune for the hope he may start being prolific.

I also would like a prolific player as our second main striker too, especially if paying upwards of 22m for him when he has no other obvious qualities other than pace. This isn't a 8m punt on a 3rd striker, it is big dough.

posted on 25/8/15

Well, at least this whole circus will be over in exactly a week.

If we don't sign a top CF and an experienced cm then i apart from seeing some exciting young players coming through its going to be a season of disappointment

We will see........

posted on 25/8/15

Valued are nearly 30m by west brom 😱😂

posted on 25/8/15

We are looking for a striker with pace, who is also proven in the premier league.

He's only £22m, and I'm pretty sure he has other qualities than just pace otherwise we wouldn't be intersted. He clearly has talent.

just because he didn't score 30 goals last season doesn't mean he won't thrive in a time like spurs, with other young and talented players around him, unlike at West Brom.

We're buying the talent, not the proven goal scorer. He's a much better ooption than Austin, who is just Kane 2.0 but older. Pointless signing.

Behrahino is obivously gonna cost some £££, and if we're so desperate for a striker with pace, why are we moaning about paying a little other the odds for him?
