£10 mil more than they paid for him? Tell Ashley to go fuck himself. If he overspends so much, it's nobody's fault but his own.Now this sounds more like Berahino saga v.2

Newcastle's Tottenham transfer target Georginio Wijnaldum ready to BEG to get Champions League move
The midfielder and Spurs both want a deal, but the Londoners are refusing to meet a valuation that's £10m higher than the fee paid for him a year ago
Georginio Wijnaldum is set to plead with Newcastle not to price him out of a move toTottenham.
The north Londoners have a keen interest in attacking midfielder Wijnaldum . And he, in turn, is ready to jump at the chance of playing Champions League football with them next season.
But they have no intention of meeting the relegated Magpies ' £25million asking price.
Holland international Wijnaldum turns 26 in November, and Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino’s recruitment drive has previously focused on players aged 25 and younger.
Also, the valuation is nearly double the £14.5m Newcastle paid Dutch side PSV Eindhoven for him just 12 months ago.
Spurs believe it is unjustified and - although they remain interested - are exploring alternative targets in the event that the Geordies refuse to budge.
Wijnaldum, who signed a five-year deal when he arrived last summer and scored 11 league goals in his debut season, has been left frustrated at the impasse.
He is ready to make his own case in the hope he can convince Newcastle chiefs to soften their stance.
