Pulis: Tottenham will never sign Saido Berahino

[guiltyparty]

Actually, Pulis is playing games here. He is putting pressure on Saido to sign a new contract by arguing you can't trust Spurs. I think he's also rinsed Saido in public since all this happened. Especially the immature comment. Fact is they let us talk to him and then accused us of unsettling him. He reacted as he should have done, saying effectively 'you played me to get a big fee and now I'm in limbo'.

The tweet was clever. He shouldn't have been fined for it. He said 'I will never play peace' we read 'I will never play for peace' whereas he could go back to the club and say he meant; 'I will never play peace at poker' and fat thumbs meant the whole quote wasn't posted ;-)

That said Pulis is between a rock and hard place, he has to integrate Saido and placate the fans and board and keep his reputation so I don't want to be hard on him. The real issue here is Peace. Why let a player talk if you didn't intend to agree a fee?

Can see Pulis walking next summer. Think he would have done this summer had he not already done that to Palace last year.

Interesting take. Didn't see it like that myself but yes you could be right, although not sure on 'trusting' Spurs, more 'that ship might have sailed, don't bank on it'. I think key for me is he's not said anything that I thought was aimed at us. As you say, he's having to work with an untenable situation and your last para reads true

Of course it won't happen - Levy's too tight to ever cough up for a decent striker.

All our hope is on the academy now...

The lad is good but he is not Messi. Move on to new targets and give the basket case Peace a wide berth. If Pulis is as reasonable as people think he will probably be off himself soon.

Saido Berahino has been told his dream move to Tottenham will NEVER happen.

Really comes back to whether Danny's prepared to pay the money WBA want & he's betting he won't.

See you in January Saido

Pullis pulled the wool over everyone's eyes.
Just did what he had to do.
He'll now ensure Beharino doesn't come to us

Actually I think it's more a case of Berahino will never sign a new contract. He'll see it out unless WBA can come up with a De Gea situation. Give him a big pay rise with a reasonable buy out clause otherwise they lose him for nothing in 18 months.
