Berahino style from what i've seen is a similar to defoe. He can generate tremendous power with a small backlift. Quick as well. However, Defoe was always greedy and never kicked on from being a one every 2.5/3 games striker from his early years.

 

Berahino looks like he can score more goals. But unlike Defoe, you're unsure of his character.

How good actually is Matip? Seems to be gathering pace again. Seen £7-10m mentioned

 

There's a good compilation of his on vimeo.

 

The one thing that I really liked was how he looked to body people off the ball, and not really go flying in. When he did this a lot of the attackers went flying. Love that type of defending, just bullying folks off the ball.

Ironically I think selling Carroll for as much as we did is now hindering us a bit! He's become the new benchmark for any young, English club/player now, how many times have you heard "...well if Carroll's worth £35m then X is worth £y". We're stuck in 2008 as far as transfer fees is concerned, the fact that we've only went in big for Cabella and Cisse over the last 7 or 8 seasons has manipulated fans into thinking a fee of circa £15m is a monumental transfer the likes of which come around once every few years.

 

Players are worth what someone's prepared to pay and PL clubs have never had more cash coming in. They've all got a fortune to spend and someone will cough up big for the likes of Austin and Berahino, it won't be us though. The people running the club need to get realistic if they're targeting young English players, it's the most expensive market to shop in.

 

Some club might cough up big for Austin or Berahino but it won't be the asking price. Austin is on the last year of his contract and Berahino is never going to fetch £30m unless he has a stormer next season as well. If someone was to slap in a bid for £18m that might get West Brom's attention.

Bamford for £8m in The Sun.

 

That would be pretty sweet. That kid needs to leave Chelsea. Looks a decent prospect.

 

Stop wasting your life with Chelsea young man! Come ruin it with us!

We would certainly fulfil our side of the bargain.

The club will see moves like that as making sense imo, spend <10m on British talent that might be good and then worth >20m or more, rather than pay a loan fee with the guarantees the kid fucks off back at the end of a year.

 

In essence it may be the club will try and shift the policy of selling nufc as a stepping stone for European talent to selling nufc as a stepping stone for British talent who can't get in the squads of the top 4-6 teams in the league.

 

Might be Mike's new masterplan considering he'll be looking at the rocketing values of young British players he's getting quoted ahead of the TV deal increase.

 

Good times.

:lol:  Yes, you haven't tasted the sweet taste of exquisite failure until you've donned the Newcastle shirt. No one does it better!

Well Cisse was our top goalscorer and will likely leave. I reckon we could do with Hernandez. Clearly he needs good service mind.

 

We're not really in the position to be picky with competent centre forwards imo. The team is an absolute mess.

Hernandez is streets ahead of every striker we have. He's of similar quality to Remy IMO.

 

He would be a class signing but unlikely IMO. Surely, a club in europe will be sniffing around.

Didn't realise Hernandez at Madrid was only a loan. Would be a superb signing in the parallel universe where the man didn't die of laughter at the very thought of moving here. In which case rip chicharito.
