They'll stick De Bruyne out wide and it'll be a massive waste but moving him inside and Silva outside is... a massive waste.

Yeh he was quality in Germany but he couldn't hack it in the Prem and I wouldn't be surprised if he still can't hack it. If he can't lookout for a very smug Mourinho who surely gets some money from the deal.

What? He couldn't hack the premier league? He made three premier league appearances for christs sake!

Berahino appears unlikely to join him now the West Brom chairman has had his say. “I have informed Saido that he will not be transferred during this summer window and that he is staying at the club,” said Peace. “As I have made clear from the moment Tottenham lodged their first bid for Saido on August 18, selling our top goalscorer was never on our agenda this summer. Our plans have always been based on Saido being part of our squad for the 2015-16 season.

“But there are two other good reasons why he will not be sold. Firstly, had we ever entertained the notion of selling him, we have not received an offer anywhere near attractive enough from Tottenham Hotspur. Not only have the offers been too low as a valuation of the player but they have been based on stage payments and add-ons over a long period, which do nothing to reflect Saido’s ability and potential.”

Peace went on to criticise the timing of the bids, although, by Tottenham’s standards, they have not actually been that late. Daniel Levy, the Tottenham chairman, is renowned for making moves as late as deadline day. Peace said: “I have the greatest respect for Daniel Levy but he must surely appreciate we would have needed to replace Saido had he left and no consideration of that position has been reflected by Tottenham’s strategy. “It has contributed to our completing our last two games without a key player. I have spoken to Saido and of course I have sympathy for him. He has been unsettled and distracted by all this and I understand that. But I have strongly advised him to put this behind him and get back to what he does best, which is to work hard for the team and score goals for Albion.”

To paraphrase, Spurs can have him if they pay upfront.

It appears to me they have already bought Berahinos replacement so i call BS on that one.

Im not sure the Berahino deal is dead yet despite all the WBA chairmans protestations! I would buy Austin instead now though. And a DM (PLEASE!).
