If the manager wants him I am all in for him. I don't pay too much attention to all the negs coming out on him. There is far worse that goes in in other clubs that we don't hear about.

It's highly worrying that Poch seems to only want Berahino who doesnt fit this system as a striker, is a headcase and not match fit. We need a target striker. Not a pacey streakey striker that's barely played and is a headcase.

Poch has already been burnt twice by 'bad egg' forwards (Osvaldo and Ade)
I can see why ITK is starting to say we've pulled the plug on this

If integrity and good character don't play a part in recruitment decisions, there's always Ched Evans...

Bang on. There were loads of stories about him in the Summer and many still wanted us to sign him. All of a sudden, some of these same people (*cough* yankspurs *cough*) are comparing him to Ade and are completely against it. Baffling.

That must be why he's been waltzing around opposing defenders every week.
So when you hear reports of physically going after teammates, calling them shit in the dressing room after matches, see a player visibly pouting in the dugout during matches, and hear of recent bust ups directly from the manager, you dont have any pause? Come on, mate. Would you be saying the same thing if we never had any interest in him and it was another club that was going after him?

I have not seen any additional reports of 'physically going after teammates' - I saw some things in the Summer though, but it wasn't anything that had happened recently. Also, Pulis never mentioned bust-ups, and it's since been reported that he was angry because Berahino was consistently late. Of course, it's not great at all, but I don't like how Berahino is being portrayed as some sort of violent thug.
It doesnt matter when it happened. You dont fight teammates or call them shit and say i cant wait to get out of here directly after a game. Berahino probably isnt a violent thug but you have to admit that there is problems with him. We finally got rid of our own headcases this past summer. Why do we want to sign another clubs headcase now when we are finally looking unified and playing for one?

It's highly reassuring that Poch has taken us to 4th - and looking up - and has fashioned a team that are playing as well as any Spurs team I can remember, and that's quite a long way.
He knows more about Berahino than you or me, and if he is sufficiently confident that he can integrate him into the squad to recommend buying him, that's good enough for me. Trust the man's judgement.

Id go dembele now and batshuyai/embolo in the summer then maybe sell Chadli? Can either of the latter two do a job in RWF or LWF?

The drink driving thing is a fair comment, but the handbags in the dressing room is a nothing story. These incidents happen all the time at every club. The only difference here is that someone leaked it where as 95% of the time these incidents are kept very much in house.

Everyone forgets that Osvaldo already played for Poch previously and unfortunately, you can never predict the future.
Osvaldo actually got off to a great start at Southampton and was the fulcrum of their attack. Everyone loses it now and again, unfortunately, that's Osvaldo's character but doesn't make him a bad player.
You can't compare Ade to Osvaldo. Gimme someone who isn't afraid to get into their team mates when they are playing shit rather than encouraging them to be more shit any day of the week.

If i had to make a decision about a player based on what you or Poch wanted, it would not be a contest.
What have you done to believe that you know more?

Agreed.
However, both parties need to put aside their ego's to make a deal happen. Because that is what has stopped it happening so far, irrelevant of who you believe.
It's no good for West Brom to have a asset regressing on the bench and Spurs need him, backed by Poch.
I genuinely can't see who else he'd go to.

If a headcase is a guy who puts his headphone on when he shouldn't and turns up ten mins late to training now and again then boy you have been out in the real world

No more of a head case than say Modric who all but went on strike when he wasn't getting his move to Chavs.
I trust Poch on this one.
But once he didn't he acted professionally and played in the team.
