According to the Daily Mirror, Monaco are after him!

Need to sign him up on a mega deal asap otherwise we will lose him for peanuts.

I bet Stoke City would love to have him right now but as for Chelsea, Arsenal or Monaco-I'm not so sure.

All the same we need to show him that we appreciate his talents. Potentially I think Saido could play at Champions League level but he already seems to have realised that you have to keep working on keeping what you have already got.

I expect him to sign for us based on what I've read and heard about him but all this speculation is making me nervous right now. Hope he signs soon (this week) as it would give fans and team a boost.

The hype surrounding him is ridiculous while he has done well in his appearances thus far this season he is way short of being a regular starter at a Champions League club nor is he ready for a full international debut. I really hope Roy does not call him up this week it is not in either our interests or the player's.

Given that he is getting game time here and critically there are question marks over the futures of all of the other strikers at the club with the possible exception of Anichebe his opportunities to play regularly are going to be greater with us than elsewhere. Maybe full international honours and Champions League football await him but for the next couple of years at least he will be better off continuing his development with us.

Fully agree , it's way over the top and he isn't ready to be our main striker yet let alone get full honours.
I would hope Roy has more sense than to pick Saido , remember the ghost of Michael Ricketts!

At last a poster with a bit of common sense, Berahino is a good player(but by no means perfect) and one we should protecting from national vitriol should he fail at the top level, for now at least.

Agree with Standaman's post, whilst he's made a promising start to this season, he still has a lot of developing to do before he can be considered as a first choice in my opinion and I do expect him to drop back down to the bench once Scott Sinclair returns from his injury. I like any other Albion fan want Berahino to stay and hope that in this time he keeps his feet on the ground but talk of England call ups, Champions League and these big clubs is for me, at the moment, is out doing his ability. I think he can have a successful England career in the future, he has plenty of time on his hands and hopefully he isn't rushed into the squads because he's the current flavour of the month.

Hopefully he can sign his new contract and all this hype and expectation surrounding him can ease slightly so we can allow Saido to improve his game without the burdens of our expectations.

I have to say, I'm also impressed with how Steve Clarke has handled this situation. Slamming the speculation, calming the expectation and using Berahino at times when it's appropriate.

Think he is going to be star.

He has so much talent and is big and strong with it.

Far from polished but you can see clearly through this rough diamond, better than Defoe he will be

Interesting comments I saw yesterday with I think it was Morrison describing him as once having a big time attitude, completely going against anything else I have seen about him since he broke into the team. Maybe that is the reason he is only just getting in the side at 20-years-old now he has apparently changed his attitude.

it's one reason he fell out at Brentford, not happy at being subbed, he took to twitter and lambasted the club and Rosler for it.

Its also easy to slip back into having that attitude now he is creating headlines.

This is where good management comes in to keep his feet on the ground.

The worry for me is whether his agents are pushing him towards a move or advising him to sign a contract with us and play premier league games.

I genuinely hope that he signs a long term (say 4 year contract) with us giving him performance related bonuses or pay increases along the way.   It will benefit his career in terms of development.  Lets just hope his advisors see it that way.

I'm sure I've read somewhere that he's had a barney with Mulumbu who also put him back in his place.

Think it may have been in The Mirror.

Hasn't made it into the latest England squad. Must have been close though if Jay Rodriguez is in it.

He's been included in the Under 21s squad.

Apparently, Southgate asked Hodgson if he could have Berahino, Shaw and Morrison for the important qualifiers coming up.

I'm actually happy with that decision.

I'm pleased that Berahino is in the U21 squad. I think it could be a bigger and tougher challenge for him to play in games in which England need to win rather than friendlies. I still think that he needs more time in the Premiership before he can make the step up into the full national side. If he continues to show this form then I think a call up to the senior side isn't too far off.

If you're right that's great news. Much rather he was playing in matches that matter - real competitive football for his development. Also shows he is rated/ important in the U21 set up - there are some good players in that team.

Good decision for all involved really, an England cap would attract even more unwanted attention before his contracts signed, and for him, I think for him its an awful lot of pressure to dump on him when he was only about our 5th or 6th choice striker back in August.

If he carries on doing well for us and scoring in the league he should get given his chance in the March friendlies though, till then lets hope he keeps it up. We could feasibly have 2 players in the world cup squad this year.

Hope the reports on here are not true that he has refused to sign a new deal, desperate news.  Been tapped up by the big boys again, and his agent with itchy palms.  We need to push the boat out or we will lose him for peanuts yet again.

Reports that he has refused to sign a new deal? Where are these, have heard nothing bar a few murmurings from the club a couple of weeks back that they were confident a deal would soon be done?

Chris Lepkowski on Twitter two hours ago: "He'll sign a new deal at some point.  Contracted till 2015 so other clubs interest irrelevant in many ways."
