    Berahino transfer request rejected. Only a matter of time now.


    Why is it so difficult for us to get deals done? is there any other club that has so many drawn out, public deals go on until the last week of the window?

    Because Levy agonises over every penny spent. It's called penny pinching.

    BERAHINO: FULL STORY

    A transfer saga has taken another twist then as West Bromwich Albion have confirmed they have rejected a written transfer request from Saido Berahino, who is on the radar of Tottenham.

    "West Bromwich Albion have received a written transfer request from Saido Berahino," a club statement read.

    "The request has been rejected and the club's position remains unchanged from that outlined in the statement from Chairman Jeremy Peace of August 18."


    It looks like we have to pay £20 million plus add-ons (around £25 million) to sign him.

    Bit mad that wba would reject the chance to get all the money for saido, but fair play to them for sticking to their guns, I admire that.

    When I look at Bolasie I can't help think he reminds me of Timothee Atouba for some bizarre reason! Anybody remember that guy??!! Lol

    ... didn't they sign some guy (replacement) already. I think they'll sell in the end they just want to maximise the price.

    ... worst case scenario is a sale in January to us or some other struggling team

    Yeah, but they've rejected his request, which means any subsequent deal will require a contract cancelling fee to be paid to berihino by wba, but then maybe his wages are low enough that that's not really a factor?

    Lamela to Inter for 6m on loan with an option of 14m to buy. Levy really is getting as much money in as possible this window, whilst still continuing his tradition of not buying the players the manager wants and trying to skimp on the players he gets in.

    just another few bob in the positive side of the balance sheet for levy and enic. Remembering our net spend over the past 3 seasons is -12million this summer so far, -1.25million last summer and a whopping -16.5million the summer bale left. again its a sign that ENIC and levy have given up on the footballing side of the club and are treating it as any other business interest.

    I don't know what spurs fans want tbh. 5/6th is about your level. The top 5 teams are ahead if you.

    Its pretty obvious what the fans want. There shouldn't be 5 teams ahead of us.

    Don't get the Bolasie hate at all. More ability than anyone currently on our books, with good coaching you are talking potentially a world beater.

    We don't appear to be able to do "good coaching" at spurs. If we did, Townsend would know how to look up and find a pass instead of blazing away wildly at every opportunity.

    That's most likely Townsend himself, we should have shipped him off long ago before he was found out as a one trick pony

    I think it looks like Wanyama and Berahino will sign for us this window with maybe Fazio going to West brom.
    Hopefully maybe another striker aswell

    The only people who said he was the new Bale was the rags in England.
    The only person who believed he was the new Bale, was Townsend.

    That's part of the reason why he went so ****.

    ESPN understand Crystal Palace winger Yannick Bolasie is not a transfer target for Tottenham Hotspur.

    He has been damn impressive for the national side. Which raises the possibility our coaching staff aren't getting the best out of him.

    yep done well for England but they don't have any tricky games in the qualifiers in fairness.

    I really hope Villa or Southampton come back in for him - it would be good to get decent money for him before the world figures out how useless he is.

    He never looks up before he passes it and he takes around 5 or 6 shots from ridiculous angles and distances every game he plays when there are teammates in much better positions to pass to.

    I would love him to prove me wrong but I've seen enough already. I hope he fcuks off soon and takes that muppet wage thief Eric Lemela with him

    me too

    I never thought I'd ever see the day when we would make a worse signing than David Bentely but Eric Lamela is a lot lot worse.

    I think we need to move on to the other targets if there is any. I mentioned £25 millions including add-ons, but it looks like they are going to pull down our pants big time (£25 millions plus add-ons). levy is getting lev'd this time.

    This is how almost every single transfer happens. It's a process.
