Disco Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Is Berahino any better than Lua Lua was? (similar players imho) And would Lua Lua be worth around 20m in todays market? Yes (no they're not), no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 It's one of the oddest comparisons I've ever read. Like comparing Anthony Martial to Paul Furlong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 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.

Berahino and Lua Lua are similar in the same way YaYa Toure and David James are similar. Well spotted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Is there a past Newcastle player, or other well known bod, who is a reasonable comparison to Berahino (has a similar style of play)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 If WBA want £30m as claimed in a few papers today he's going nowhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 £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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 He needs to get himself to the PFA or summit if he really wants out then, WBA appear intent on fucking the kid over as they're never getting that money and aren't really playing him anyways.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 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?

Lush Vlad Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 We're not paying that much, seems a bit pointless to me. This is just like the Townsend deal, I can't see it happening. To just parrot what other people have been saying, it feels like it will be another "well, we tried" token gesture. Got to make sure they keep people renewing their ST's. I'd rather we moved on and looked elsewhere. If we're waiting to see who blinks first, then we'll be waiting a long time. Levy drives a hard bargain and the WBA chairman seems like a bit of a fucker and all. I don't see either of them getting desperate and giving in late in the window. The players in question need to be kicking up a massive fuss if they're really that keen to leave. Surely nobody is going to meet the valuation of £14m+ for Townsend and £20m+ for Berahino? I still think we need a striker. But I didn't expect to get Shelvey and Saviet. So if the window were to shut tomorrow. I'd be reasonably happy with how it's went.

hakka Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 In fairness I think they are actually trying for these deals, but struggling to find a way to bring them down a bit. We have to bite the bullet and sign them. Spending a couple of million more than we want is peanuts compared to going down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
