You just know that fuck who wrote that Spurs poem will write one titled '48 hours'.
Yeah, because you like to let the press know your opening bid before the club your buying him from. Laugh off the Lamela unhappy in London rumours, but believe old tight fisted, fiscally shrewd Levy has told some Telegraph journey exactly what his opening bid will be.That Telegraph article says that we are planning to make an opening bid of ... £10 million.
I understand that negotiating is a tactical thing and all, and that you gotta start low. But ...
Seriously? Ten Million Pounds?! WTF, Levy ... stop beating around the bush, FFS. Show some more respect.
Plus, imo Berahino is easily worth £15 mil, if not easily more.
No, they are saying there has been NO bid. Which kind of says that this £10m offer Levy told the journo's he'd made/was going to make is all Bollocks.It's pretty stupid for the club to make a comment like that - because they're giving the West Brom fans hope that he might actually stay. If it is likely he'll leave this window, they shouldn't comment.
To be fair a bid can come in it at the last minute, what takes ages is for the debate over the price to be had, I think Athletico said there hadn't been a bid 24 hours before he signed for us.No, they are saying there has been NO bid.

Whether there will or will not be a bid or transfer, there has been no bid, yet.
That's what I said. They are saying at this time there has been no bid. It has not happened, yet.To be fair a bid can come in it at the last minute, what takes ages is for the debate over the price to be had, I think Athletico said there hadn't been a bid 24 hours before he signed for us.

All interesting players but the last thing we need is to try and integrate 9 new players into the squad.imagine if we get all these signings done and we end up with Berahino, Llorente, Callejon, Bolasie and McCarthy, one can dream![]()
Mccarthy is good but he's a box to box mid...we need a DM so Benteleb is free to get forward.Berahino and MCCarthy would cap off an excellent window. We don't need anymore than that in my opinion.
No he's dumped Ward now, which is thought to be the reason we stepped up our interest.Anyway, Berahino's agent is Ward, the same agent as Sterling. So, anything is possible. Yet, that fact doesn't feel me with optimism.
