NUFC transfer rumours in the press


Recommended Posts

If Berahino comes here because no-one better wants him, the only way he'll go somewhere better is by proving himself here for 2-3 seasons so we can't really lose.

Tottenham are rarely silly with money... they certainly wouldn't do a deal that was not in their best interest. Modric, Berbatov, Bale etc.. the only time I can remember them being done was when Sol Campbell left in his prime. They would have sold him a year or two earlier if they had any idea he'd go to Arsenal.

 

That's why i'm suspicious about the whole Townsend thing, if he's 14m quid worth of winger and they are going for a top 4, why not keep him?

 

Definitely not like they have to sell before they can buy either.

I don't think Townsend improves us that much (if at all) but Berahino would be massive. If we sign him and a left back I think we can be pretty versatile with the 4-5-1, 4-3-3 & 4-4-2 (diamond ala Chelsea w/Balack, Lampard & Deco) depending on injuries, suspensions and rotation.

We've just started to see how good we can be with Wijnaldum behind a front man, I don't want to be changing that at the minute. Can Berahino play that role in front of Gini ?, as much as I like Mitrovic, right now we need the goals and hopefully be able to keep developing him next season.

Is Berahino any better than Lua Lua was? (similar players imho) And would Lua Lua be worth around 20m in todays market?

 

Berahino and Lua Lua are similar in the same way YaYa Toure and David James are similar. Well spotted.

£30 million?! Ha!

 

West Brom really come across quite badly in all of this, it's no wonder Berahino has been so stroppy. Pulis doesn't want to use him, but they aren't being realistic in their valuation so he can get a move.

Just read the article regarding the £30 million. Apparently West Brom are demanding that fee from Spurs and Chelsea to spite them, and if they are unwilling to pay it they will then prepare to sell him to us for £15 million!

 

Apparently the West Brom chairman is p*ssed with Spurs from last summer, and I guess if Roman is involved he just feels they ought to rinse Chelsea.

 

Sounds ridiculous all around, and we'd better not stay involved in this mess too long, or we may end up with nothing.

Didn't Spurs try a cunt's trick though? Sure the WBA owner said a fee had been agreed but then Spurs moved the goalposts and offered it in ridiculous instalments where WBA wouldn't get the benefit?
