Will believe it when I see him holding up the shirt and not a second earlier.Looking very likely we are getting Berahino but it's never easy with Spurs so im expecting this to drag. Would love to get him sorted this week though
And just an extra question: Is there any news on Vertonghen signing a new contract? He's only got 1 year left.


Completely OT but I got bored and went on a mini internet mission to find out about our friend Jamie Sanderson at the Metro. Yes, he of wanky haircut fame and lord of the completely false transfer speculation click-bait dressed up as fact. Just seeing the sheer amount of ridiculous headlines here makes my eyes want to contract AIDS http://metro.co.uk/author/jamie-sanderson-ukmetro/page/2/
He's also a massive gooner, which by looking at him you could have guessed on your own.
Anyway, I saw that his twitter account has been inactive for a year and half, bar the occasional tweet to people asking if they can use a picture for the Metro. That's when I came across this story about some brass who nobbed the Toure bros and then sold her story because Yaya 'only gave her a 10 quid tip.
Her twitter timeline is astonishing. https://twitter.com/EbonyFlora
Also, not sure how that story never got brought up here. Or did I just miss the thread?
Ok. I`ll try and explain.I dont get your view.
As a fan, should I demand we needed to outbid Liverpool and offer 38M for Benteke, and 25M for Ings.....or perhaps that we should put in a 70M bid for Aguero?
The whole time knowing that my demands are nonsensical, but because Im just a fan, and shouldnt worry about what the club should be realistically doing, my demands are ok?
I really dont understand.
Apparently this bloke is the local WBA embedded journo so unless they are playing games or he wants to get promoted to the Daily Express!Perhaps we did bid but we offered nothing?
Levy upping his game.
Ok. I`ll try and explain.
If Berahino is the player Pochettino wants, and he costs 25million, as a fan I would rather see us pay the 25million than spend 6million on a third choice alternative. I would not be going to bed at night worrying about us doing a Leeds or a Portsmouth as a result. When I go to WHL, I like to see a winning team on the pitch. That gets me excited. Studying our balance sheet and calculating what we can and cannot spend to reach the magical net figure of zero doesn`t quite get me off in the same way. I reckon most fans of most teams probably feel the same way.
So no mention was made of a transfer to Tottenham, yet it's "bizarre" that we haven't made a bid?
Wouldn't that be more bizarre if we HAD made a bid?
Levy going into BEAST MODE.Perhaps we did bid but we offered nothing?
