This really is torture.
Aaaaaaaand he joins United. Nailed on.
Nobody expects Kane to score 21 league goals again this season , so why does everyone expect Berahino to score another 14.
He scored 14 league goals last season, 4 of them penalties.
So, really he's not a proven PL goalscorer. Chadli scored 11 league goals last season & Eriksen scored 10. They are not considered strikers.
Yes, he may bring much needed goals/pace to the side, but to say he's worth £25m because he scored 14 goals in his first real season is bollocks.
Lamela scored 15 for Roma before he came here.
The trouble with our side is we have no goals in us. What I mean by that we have very few comfortable in front of goal. Everyone says 'all it takes is for Kane to get injured, we need another striker' when what we need is more players who like to score goals.
Eriksen and Chadli are the only other players in our squad capable of scoring goals.
Of course Berahino may make a difference. Yet he ain't worth £25m+. More interestingly only 3 of his 14 goals came in away games. Kane scored 12 away from home and 9 at home.
Berahino also played in 38 games to get those 14 goals. He played 33 to get 5 the season before.
So, really he will have to play every league game to reach, or better, those figures.
Then do we sacrifice either of the only other 2 scoring midfielders to accommodate him? I suppose he could play on the right an we can play all 3 of our goalscorers. Then if we play him on the right he will offer very little defensively in terms of covering the full back. Less than Chadli does.
Yet it kind of defeats the object getting 'cover' for Kane and playing them both at once.

The problem is, if the Baggies stipulate that he doesn't go until they have finished their business, we have to wait if we really want him. To be fair, it isn't a too dissimilar situation to us selling Bale, you may have to concede to selling your best player but you do it on your terms!
All that's nailed on is that if he comes to us, he'll suffer 2nd season syndrome, and be as useless as Chris Armstrong & Gregorz Rasiak's love child... and we'll be cursing Levy for blowing 25million on another young dud...
If he goes to either of the Manchester brothers... he'll turn into the new Neymar, and we'll be cursing what got away!

Yeah, lets be sure and get Aguero or Costa
