A Beach Boys song, might have been a band as well, wouldn't know. On a sidenote it might be one of the worst Brian Wilson songs ever.Wasn't that a band?

Others being looked at but 100% still the managers number 1 striker target.
I hope so for all concerned- he needs to kick-start his career elsewherenothing surprising here
hertyid on andros: He is being shopped around and will likely leave in January.
We tried to get werner in the summer.
I would not sell at that price if I were WBA.On the Berahino situation, i do hope Peace doesn't think that he will be in a position to demand £25m, especially if the seasons carries on for him the way it has begun.
Right now, i'd suggest £10m - £15m is a far more realistic price.
Exactly. This is what people continue to miss here when throwing out numbers wrt Berahino. His value will not have gone down much, if at all. Staying up is worth 60m+ now. Going up to around 100m in a year or 2. Plus, im not sure the exact rules on this as his birthday is in August, but he'll still be 23 at the beginning of next summer, meaning WBA might still get the developmental money when he signs elsewhere, which is likely to be around £15m since Ings cost Liverpool around £12 thanks to Levy offering that amount at the last possible minute to Burnley.I would not sell at that price if I were WBA.
With the new tv revenue - staying up is worth far more than £10-£15m.
I think this is a new reality we will have to live with - financially, fewer teams will have to sell their best players unless/until their contracts are about to run down. Maybe next summer, if they can't get Berahino to sign a new deal.

Not sure anyone is 'missing' anything....as SB is hardly playing atm, he looks disinterested and clearly wants out.Exactly.

Hard to reconcile - "their most valuable asset" and "SB is hardly playing".Not sure anyone is 'missing' anything....as SB is hardly playing atm, he looks disinterested and clearly wants out.
Its not like they're complete shit and SB is their only hope of staying up, West Brom don't really look like they'll be in any sort of relegation battle, so IMO it makes no sense to let their most valuable asset run his contract down.
He's their most valuable player yet he's always on the bench....that's the point, they're not utilising their most valuable asset.Hard to reconcile - "their most valuable asset" and "SB is hardly playing".
I am not saying he won't be sold - only that they don't need to sell him for £10-15m.
He is a HG player, so that ups his value on its own - even more so if the FA reduces the number of foreign players allowed to be registered...

He doesn't fit their system, because they (like us) now only play 1 CF.
That's not exactly true. We play with one player up top, but the three behind him are all very attack minded players. Son, N'Jie and Chadli are all WF/STs. We almost always have at least one other attack first player on with Kane. No, none of them are a traditional CF like Kane, but Kane is obviously one of the best in the league at being a traditional hold up/striker. The only player we're linked to that is a backup Kane is probably Depoitre. Everyone else is a hybrid player that would primarily play behind Kane or fill in if needed.
@mill why the spam?Townsend wants to stay at Spurs however his father is advising him to move on, even if it's a 6 month loan.
Also look out for Sterling being fast tracked through our academy.
The bottom line is Berahino is hardly playing. They're negotiating position is therefore weakened unless their's strong interest from other Clubs which would drive up the price. And of course there's another 6 months off his contract.
If we're the only interested party I'd say 15 million is a decent offer, and they should take it unless they genuinely intend to start playing him - which I doubt now.
