Looks like Berahino is gonna go on strike. Glad Stones didnt pull that [Poor language removed]

Naisy's scored some important goals for us and been pivotal in gaining points, ie Liverpool and Chelsea. He is one of our most genuine, hard working players. Fact!

It's looking like that.

All roads lead back to the board though. If this was a properly funded and run club we wouldn't be obsessing about one player for a bargain of that nature.

Have to say I disagree on this one.

If he had the money, he should be inventive. If we were going to spend 15-18M on 1 player, it wouldn't be that difficult to go after another decent target for that amount.

He has said all along he wanted a playmaker. He has an hour to stop himself looking like a complete balloon IMO and I really hope he has something up his sleeve as I do like the man.

He didn't target anyone. He decided to play Barkley there.

That's why he's not worth half of what Spurs are bidding.

That is ridiculously unprofessional. "How they're treating me"... you're paid thousands a week to kick a football around you utter weapon, get on with your job.

This thread is more depressing than a fish stained Eskimo, covered in seal carcass, standing over the black and icy abyss, considering the inevitable.

Berahino just tweeted he won't play for West Brom again after Spurs latest bid is rejected. makes you appreciated just how professional Stones has been

Cue Stones' agent texting him "John lad, any chance of a cheeky tweet for us pal? I've just bought a house and need some Ikea funds."

Wow harsh that comeback... That told me! Out of interest, is your name actually Steevie? Or is your moniker based on your unrequited love of Mr Naismith?

I have unrequited love for my club. I don't have much else.

To be fair, I'd have well taken £8m and given the squad role to McAleny or something, or loaned a forward.

£8m for Naismith is too good to turn down IMO, and I don't actually mind him.

Same. Could have used that to pay up for Yarmalenko.

£7-8m without a replacement coming in would have been as much use as a chocolate teapot, and the same posters would have been moaning that we'd taken the cash and hidden it down the back of Bills couch - what a joke, it's a disgrace etc etc repeat ad nauseum.

Would have brought the net spend figure down as well - cue outrage.

This is one of the worst posts I've ever seen.
