The papers today are full of rumours that Liverpool will bid £25m for Berahino in January and will be in a bidding war with Spurs.
I'm realistic enough to accept that we are unlikely to hold onto him beyond this season, especially for that sort of money, but what would be the point of selling him in January? Replacing him and settling in any new strikers takes time.
It is no use getting relegated with £25m in the bank, and I sure hope that we categorically refuse to do business to sell him in January, regardless of what then happens next summer. Securing our Premier League status is far more important, and without his goals we are far less likely to survive.
Beyond that, I think we could spend £25m pretty well and really strengthen the squad, but we must make sure that we are not doing that from the Championship.
