Here we go again ! If we do go in for him again we need to bid around 15m because there is no way he is worth the 25m West Brom wanted in the last transfer window. He has hardly played for them this season and has been warming the bench for most of those games. He clearly wants to leave but it may be a gamble to buy him because I think the guy has serious attitude problems.

Serious attitude in what way, you must know personally.
He doesn't want to play for WBA anymore that's his problem,
Pulis or WBA cant do anything more for his development.

Not sure who we will buy but I hope for once we are decisive. Go in for the one or two players we are after with hard offers and not hang around all transfer window hoping to get 5p off. So go in with the top price we want to pay and then if no deal move on to the next on the list. We need no distractions, we need players who will have time to be schooled by Poch and still make an impact this season

In the last window I really wanted us to sign him and thought even 20m would be about right. Now it's clearly less than that and I wonder if we could find a cheaper option like the other Dembele.

I'm really would rather go for Dembele, he will become a beast of a player, and is the type of Kane cover we need.

Serious in the way he threw his dummy out the pram when he didn't get the move to Tottenham he wanted last summer. Posting stuff on twitter and the reason he has been on the bench so much this season is because his head isn't right and as you correctly stated he doesn't want to play for West Brom anymore. Another factor to be looked at is that would West Brom actually sell him to us after all the bad blood that went on between the two clubs in the last transfer window. Maybe not.

I'd definitely take him, just not for the quoted price
Why does everyone keep mentioning price like its there money? I don't care what a player costs as long as they are quality and we get them! We may spend 20 mill on Berahino and another 20 mill on a midfielder. Or we may spend 15 mill on Berahino and buy no one else. It's about the quality you have in your squad, not how much you buy them for

Last time we bought a player that had a history of tantrums we got Adebayor, and it wasn't worth the money even if we did get 1.5 decent seasons from him.

Just saying...

But it's his ability I question too. I still need to be sold on the idea that he could step in for Kane and do the job.

If there's any truth in it, i'd take Negredo over him any day of the week. As @jenko said, i think Berahino could become trouble not unlike Ade.

I think we should make a public bid of £12m and attach a sniggering meme/gif to the bid...

To let Peace (and everyone else) know that he really screwed the pooch.

I think they'll be very lucky to get £16m. and wouldn't be surprised if he went for around £12m in the summer (or an undisclosed fee to save face)

Berahino has a suspect attitude and temperament, but if I were the Spurs transfer committee, I'd try to get him with a serious bid early on in January. And I'd get another striker in as well, be it Negredo or someone else.

This is a repeat of what I said at the start of the season. When we were linked with Berahino, Njie, and Austin, my suggestion was to get all three. I miss the times when we had 4 top strikers all vying for game time. The aim is to not have a dramatic loss of quality when you inevitably have to make subs or Kane gets injured or whatever. Berahino could play up front, or as a wide-left attacker in the three offering a different and more direct option than we currently have.

It's such a weird season that a mini-run of wins at the right time, backed by a purple scoring patch, could make all the difference. We need more than Kane as a front option and if we get him/them, then there's all to play for in three competitions.

Berahino is a very talented young player, with ,maybe, a question mark over his attitude? I like him, and think at the right price he would be a quality addition to our squad.
However, maybe that boat has sailed? Dembele the younger has 6 months on his contract, and while more of a gamble as not proven in the Prem, probably is more in our price range at this time?
The Belgian lad at Marseilles looks top drawer too, but maybe not available in Jan window?
Any QUALITY addition in Jan will enhance our top 4 chances, I'm happy to see what DL, Mitchell and co bring in.

Pulls will be putting serious pressure on Peace to sell. He's got (roughly) £15-20m worth of player who doesn't want to be there & he could use some of that money.

But Peace won't want to be seen rolling over and selling to us easily. My money would be on a Jan 31st deal.

Ok you don't care but you should have an understanding of what our finances are, it does matter how much players cost if we spend and it doesn't work out, we will probably have to sell before we can buy.
