Stottie Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Regardless of who is to blame, he needs to be playing and developing if he's not to end up a might-have-been. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 A very strange situation. Why not offer him around on Jan 1st for £25m-£30m, someone would have come in and bought him for that - I have no doubt. West Brom then have £25m-£30m to spend on new additions to their squad with the entire month (and past 4 months worth of research) to find players. No loss to West Brom as Berahino has not featured in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is more about ego from the chairman than any conspiracy related to the manager. He could after all sell the player and not splash the cash. At the right club I think Berahino is going to be a top player, not a 20-25 goal a season man like, but a constant scorer and creator comfortable in a number of roles. He'd work really well at say Arsenal or Liverpool. Not so much here or at Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's trying to sell the club and there has been a lot of talk about Pulis and his dodgy signings, don't think this about ego. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Because both of those options potentially cause chaos when they are currently relatively stable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Had one moment of quality that didn't amount to anything iirc and nothing else.
