Do this deal and then spend the whole budget on a striker!!!

Do this deal (net nil), sign Defoe (say Â£6m) and either Crouch (say Â£1m) or Lambert (say Â£4m), which leaves plenty to sign a holding midfielder, Huth and the Japanese left back.

Sell Brown Ideye to Newcastle or Sunderland (Â£6m) plus Morrison or Dorrans (Â£4m) and we should be nicely done!

How about just bidding for them? Keep Saido, and. Spend the budget on the midfield and a CB? We have samaras, Vic, Saido, ideye, Nabi brothers? No need for another, or.... Dump samaras, sell Vic cheap, ad bring in Defoe and lambert, Lennon and Dembele/Townsend/ bolasie/salah

Salah's a waste as he has his Egyptian army sentence to serve does he not?

Thinking about it, JP won't sanction spending Â£6m on Defoe with very limited sell- on value. More likely to sanction paying more for Danny Ings, which I would love to see.

Buy Lennon, Townsend, Ings and Lambert (circa Â£25m total)

Sell Berahino, Vic, Brown Ideye and Samares (circa Â£25m total)

That's the wingers and strikers sorted for net nil.

Still Â£30m (apparently) left.....

Am I being dumb or do people want us to play with two right wingers?

Spurs offered Berahino

Spurs are being offered striker Saido Berahino in exchange for Andros Townsend and Aaron Lennon.

New West Brom boss Tony Pulis is willing to cash in on top scorer Berahino to fund an overhaul of his squad.

He wants two new wingers to provide pace and power down either flank and sees the Spurs pair as the answer.

Although Berahino is Albionâ€™s top scorer this term with 13 goals and has been called up by England they have put new contract talks on hold.

The club have been frustrated by his attitude and time-keeping, and yesterday he was charged with drink-driving on the M6 in October, and will appear in court on January 19.

What an exciting prospect, with maybe Defoe up or Ings up front. The club feels refreshed and I feel more confident that we will stay(pending signings)

Personally I would take just one of them plus Jarvis and leave more to spend on strikers ie Defoe.

I wonder whether Levy would sell Soldado as part of the deal?

baggie38 · « **Reply #1987 on:** January 07, 2015, 12:22:17 AM »

I'd love to see it but I can't see it being true. I will believe it when they are on the official website scarves aloft.

This would be awful business on our part.

As the article says, Levy would want Berahino AND cash for Lennon & Townsend. As a conservative estimate, let's say we rate Berahino at 15 million pounds. That means Spurs are valuing Townsend and Lennon as being worth that, plus they want us to pay more on top. Not a chance that happens, with other clubs in for Berahino at around the 20 million mark.

Add to that, They'd be on a combined 100k a week, Berahino's new deal was reported as 12k a week, so we'd be paying money and 10 times the wages of Berahino.

And there is also no way Peace would pay the combined wages for one of the two to be sat on the bench. .

Either of them would be a great addition as either a stand-alone deal on our part, or as part of a deal for Berahino where we get cash as well, but the mooted deal would be terrible business on our part.

Articles about trade deals are almost always made up, there's regularly articles about them, but really the amount of transfers that involve a player exchange, yet alone 3 players is incredibly small. Where they do exist its usually low key players, certainly not major transfers like proposed here.

Even then there's virtually no chance we would a) sell Berahino for what amounts to about 15m, and b) Exchange him for 2 players so we receive no money, presumably use all our wages available, and are left without a sriker.

If we sell him for two wingers and a defender who will score the goals

Mister AT · « **Reply #1993 on:** January 07, 2015, 08:40:45 AM »

If the rumour was true I would be happy to do the swap based on the belief that we would sign a replacement striker.

In reality though, cannot see such deal happening, relying on 3 players to agree to the move, more wages to pay for us, plus the expectance to have to replace Berahino still which means we would be paying 100k more a week and then the wages of a new striker, all to replace one lad.

tommcneill · « **Reply #1994 on:** January 07, 2015, 09:04:00 AM »

Its not just replacing one lad though is it!! Its putting some real quality into the squad that we are lacking and using the money from him to overhaul this squad.

Lennon and Townsend would be 2 players we should be going for anyway aswell as Defoe.

If we lost Berahino and signed the above I would be ecstatic not happy

palmaroy · « **Reply #1995 on:** January 07, 2015, 09:12:35 AM »

Amazing if we could get Lennon and Townsend.
Go the whole Hogg and get Defoe and Crouch as well.Sessegnon behind those four and one new central midfielder and Bingo we are ready to beat Birmingham in the cup

Yeah I agree with you, they would both improve us massively, but from a JP point of view he will look at it like this.

Berahino - wages 12-15k a week
Townsend and Lennon - easily 100k a week

That means we are already spending around 85k a week more in wages, plus the need to replace Berahino, which would probably cost realistically 6-10 million for someone half decent, whos wages would also be around 50k-60k.

Just cannot see that happening if im honest, JP signing 3 players on 50k+ a week contracts in January, a month we hardly ever strengthen.

Dont get me wrong though, I would love it to happen.

If we replaced Berahino with Townsend, Lennon and say Defoe, and it only cost us wages plus around 6 million in money, I would be jumping for joy.

Jeremy Roland Peace · « **Reply #1997 on:** January 07, 2015, 09:19:31 AM »

has anyone noticed that he's in court the day we play Everton ?

guessing he won't be involved in the squad that day

RedHead_Baggie · « **Reply #1998 on:** January 07, 2015, 09:23:56 AM »

If Peace is true to his word Berahino won't be going anywhere this month. We don't win enough games as it is without selling the only player who can score regular goals.

If this does happen then i'd rate Townsend at about 6 million and Lennon at 4 million so it would still take a sizeable transfer fee as well.

I don't think this would be a wise career move for Berahino either. He would be playing second fiddle to Harry Kane for the forward role and would end up playing out wide.

If we want to cash in then fair enough, but leave it till the summer.

robbo_wba · « **Reply #1999 on:** January 07, 2015, 09:30:41 AM »

No reason he shouldn't be involved.

His court appearance is in Runcorn so he's only 20 minutes or so away.
