Not a fan WHATSOEVER but for £25 we'd be mad to say no!
There was some talk yesterday of them offering him a new contract with a 25m buy out clause in it. Probably just media BS.Personally I'm hoping that, with his comments about the chairman and not wanting to play, we can grab him for less than 25mil in January. An unhappy player who doesn't want to play? They will let him leave for less than that. More like 15-18
What if he meant it when he said he wouldn't play for them again? I know he almost certainly will but let's say he stuck to that and didn't play at all and trained with the u21s.. would people still want him in Jan without any football for 6 odd months and a tarnished reputation?
Berahino yes, £25m no. His price has went down because of the contract, not up.
We could probably sell him for £15m even if it goes tits up, so we're only talking a £10m fee for the privilege worse case. I think it's a case of what he can do for the team rather than whether he's worth £25m in isolation.This, in January, with only a year before he can sign pre contract, no more than 15m. I'd say leave it till next summer and Chelsea can probably get him for 7/8.
Yes, he is a very good, young player who has proven that he can score goals in the PL. his contract situation means that it may not take that much however, unless Berahino signs a new contract there that is.
Doesn't detract from the fact that we should've got it done this summer however.
