The interesting thing is how do you do the transfer now. Theoretically we should bid less as the player wants out, he is running down his contract in the summer only a year left.
However i imagine if Levy calls and says the price is now 20mil for example it will all kick off again. Pearce really has dug himself into a hole if for no other reason that in 18months berahino can go for nothing.

Only resolution is that berahino signs a contract extension with a release clause that tottenham have pre-agreed to.

He'll still be under 24 years old when the contract expires, meaning they're still due a development fee. Turns 24 in August that year, maybe he'll be free of charge then?

It will be very interesting to see what happens. Peace may not even be around so there are plenty of permutations. We also may decide to set our sights elsewhere because a better option becomes available.

I can't see Berahino signing a contract extension unless it significantly increases his wage and has a relatively low release clause. Having said that Benteke signed a contract extension with a £32.5m release clause, so stranger things have happened!

The other complicating factor is the Euros. If Berahino wants to go then he needs to be playing. That may mean that his West Brom protest is short lived and he is back in the team sooner rather than later.

Good point. It will be interesting to see if and where he plays. I'm also sure that there is more information to come from this.
 
I think Berahino will get back in the Brom team and continue his increasingly good form from last season, and by Jan or next summer one of the big 4 teams will snap him up

How can anyone know how a players form will be in the rest of this season?

It's a guess isn't it? Form is impossible to predict.

yes its guess, a prediction, a thought, an opinion, something that popped into my head, i dont know, and i chose to post in this thread......next time i wont bother:)

I am unaware of any stats that can predict how Berahino will be playing next May. It is a bit like me 'predicting' that it will be sunny on 21st March.

Now you're taking May in isolation. Maybe they will look at the bigger slice, ie has he regressed, maintained, or progressed.
That's how I read Indianspur's point.

I think that by and large I agree with you on this one. I think my main frustration is due to the fact that Berahino has been the striker that I have wanted at Spurs since before last season and it may be that we don't get another chance to bring him in.

We won't have another chance to bring him in, that much is assured. I felt the same way with Schneiderlin: he was the midfielder I wanted at Spurs from the moment he really 'broke out' in the 13-14 season. And we genuinely did muck up there, so I think my frustration with that miserable failure dwarfed that which I have for this Berahino deal. And yes, in the end, Berahino will head to a top four club a la Schneiderlin, and we'll likely end up with a makeshift solution for his role in the side, similar to how we drafted a CB in to take up the role Schneiderlin should have taken up. So your frustration is entirely understandable.

But I still think this deal died too strange a death to put the blame on Levy.
