Saido Berahino

Everybody who watches premier league football has seen this before. Player does well for a few months, goes to a club for a large amount of money and then they do terribly.

And no players do well, go to another club and continue to do well?

Of course, but Berahino doesn't fall into that category

But that is in the future?

Berahino could move and be an immense success / move and be a disaster.

No one knows.

My only point was he's the profile of player we'd look at, yet many on here can't countenance the idea of buying a player from WBA.

Fwiw imo he'd be a gamble, but he's a clinical finisher, direct and versatile and there's much worse buys we could make. Not convinced Bony suits us any more than he does. The question is what to do with Nacho? I certainly don't think we'd be worse for having Saido.

If for some reason we can't get DeBruyne, they may see Berahino as a player to strengthen the attacking options, allowing someone else to play in DeBruyne's position. It wouldn't be an actual like for like replacement.

If that's the case I'd be deeply concerned about the management of the club, as it smacks of not having any sort of concrete plan in place for the squad. I don't believe Txiki is *that* bad to be scratching around signing random players to fill the squad on the eve of the new season.

Iheanacho is already our 2nd best striker. He'll be top class. Berahino would be a waste of money and a flop.

That would be on a par with Pogba to Delph or Hazard to Sinclair.

Yes it would, and I've a feeling that's our limit at present. Four weeks to prove us all wrong and ram these words down my throat.

Realistically neither of us know if either of those things will turn out to be true.

No he would simply be replacing a forward with a forward, who would be eligible for a homegrown spot in the Champions League, which Iheanacho isn't.
