Cronky Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I can't see the Berahino signing coming off. If he thinks that Spurs are interested, he'll hold out for them. If Townsend signs, I'd like to see him used in a freer role rather than stuck out on the wing. I think he and Ayoze would work well together. It looks like we're after someone who can lead the line, and act as back-up or replacement for Mitro. Despite his physique, Ayoze didn't do all that badly in that role, but we could do with someone bigger. Remy would fit the bill if he's minded to come (which I doubt) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 To me one of Townsend or Berahino makes sense then you'd look to get a backup striker in as cover/competition for Mitro. Thing is as usual they seem to have decided on a new policy of signing 'available' English players of the right age so if they feel they can get both for reasonable money before the new TV deal kicks in then they will.

mrmojorisin75 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 They'll be sniffing a bargain. Offer cash up front, get him for sub 20m and hope he does well for a season before Citeh come in with a 40m bid. Especially if WBA aren't playing him, they might well be inclined to take the cash up front as they're not likely to see his value increase now.

Leazes1986 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Maybe they see Townsend as his replacement then and feel they need to sign him now. Not the same type of player of course, but we'll not find anyone like Sissoko anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Newcastle owner Mike Ashley put up £55m during the close-season No he didn't. Nor did 'he' spend £6m on Riviere (£1.8m), nor £12.5m on Cabella (£5.2m), etc., etc. Let's be generous and leave the TV money, all half-billion of it since Ashley oozed into town, and consider the £25m/yr advertising he's getting in lieu of the 'interest free' £130m he 'loaned' himself when he became owner. So on that basis alone, he's into us for about £100m, Sky and prize money excluded, which is pushing half-a-billion. #fuckingthievingfatcunt Where are you getting these numbers from?.. Lets be generous and say he has a head full of marbles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Bailey Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Berahino meeting us and Chelsea today according to some bloke on TalkSport just now. Chelsea it is then... Madness if he does go there imo...he will undoubtedly end up in the 'Remy' situation 12-18 months down the line. Of course he may well have squillions in the bank, a nice apartment in Kensington and some babestation bird flouncing all over him so that may compensate some... Personally would be in like Flynn for Remy if this is the case. Although I understand viewpoints like Micks, but quite simply they are pretty much all mercenary Cnuts these days, with one or two exceptions.

KaKa Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Ah man ... Chelsea might be the move he makes. Now Mourinho is out they are actually playing the younger guy and mixing it up a bit more. They're a mess at the minute, and so he'd get a chance to get in the first team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antz1uk Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Mitro had a big contribution to our general team play against Man U and West Ham. Berahino is a better finisher but he won't be as involved. Berahino is a penalty taker, which distorts his stats a bit, and of his 14 goals last season, 11 were at home. We need to do better in away games. Normally this would just be an interesting tactical choice, but we're sitting in the relegation zone and the pressure is on. Since our midfield especially is improving, maybe see how it goes against Watford and then make a decision. Remy would be a snap-their-hands-off no-brainer, of course. No thanks, I hate everything he represents. He's had a chance here and couldn't wait to leave so he can rot at Chelsea for all I care. Absolutely spot on, e veryone is going on about Berahino's attitude etc, he is still young and may learn, Remy has proven to everyone he doesn't give a shit about anything except money. Personally i think they're looking at berahino to play in a similar role to what Remy did when he was here, from the left into forward/striker. also think berahino is a replacement for Perez who i can see being sold to spurs -personally i;d rather keep Perez if that were the case Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozy Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 From what you read about his attitude I think he would jump at the chance to go to Chelsea, then start complaining again once he doesn't play. Footballers rarely make the smart decisions like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 So when Berahino moves to Chelsea, who's next on the list? Or is this one of those "we tried" efforts where we go for an unlikely target then just settle for what we've got. Very risky strategy considering our strikers are not exactly banging them in even if they offer more than just goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely spot on, e veryone is going on about Berahino's attitude etc, he is still young and may learn, Remy has proven to everyone he doesn't give a s*** about anything except money. It shocks me that people think this way about someone who's not done a great deal wrong and could be the difference in staying up and being relegated. If he was driven by money then he'd have signed for QPR after their first offer and not spurned them on a couple of occasions before finally accepting one that he'd have been stupid to refuse. The he turned down the chance to join us after his loan move to join the team that went on the become champions. And ? Most people would have had Cabaye back, myself included, but he done far worse to us than Remy did. Personally I would rather have someone proven, with a questionable attitude than a kid who's relatively unproven with one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuckin hell, how naive you have to be to think that Remy isn't a egocentrical/greedy bastard. Scored some important goals but has always been an arse if you ask me.

Kanj Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Of all players to smash the record, I would never have guessed the name being Berahino, but at the same time the record we have is peanuts in today's pricing.
