    I think I'm going to be fully marshalled by the cruise director. Thanks for the offer. :)

    Not sure those financials stake up for him....if Stoke want to gamble that much then I would let them have him. He hasn't done enough to prove he is worth that much in the way of wages bearing in mind he has been sulking for the past two seasons

    £16m for Berahino, and £70k wages.

    _____________________________

    That's about the ballpark I was thinking. His fee is lower as there's only a year left so that bunks the wage up ala Austin.

    It depends how much we want him, if at all. It's getting to stage now, particularly with the new TV dealing kicking this summer, that we need to start looking at pushing up our wage structure somewhat, I feel. Even leaving West Ham to one side (based in London, have the huge financial benefits of an almost free new stadium), if we're up against the likes of Palace, Everton and Stoke who are all looking at paying decent wages, then we'll do very well to continue to match or beat them on the field if we don't match them off the field.

    I am perfectly happy with the board not trying to match the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal when it comes to wages. But if we're seeing our mid table competitors jumping above in the transfer window stakes... well, I can't help but remember that it was our stagnation whilst others overtook us that ultimately led to our relegation in 2005. (Not that I'm saying in any way that I think we're in for a relegation battle this year, before one or two of you start jumping on this).

    With Fonte and Forster rumoured to be on £85,000 a week on their new deals, our wage structure sounds pretty good to me.

    I was more referring to bringing players in, but if that is the case then brilliant. I was only aware of Fonte being on more than £70k.

    Fans are contrary....think players are overpaid, but, at the same time, pleased to hear that their club pays top money. :)

    Berahino for me isn't worth 16m
    Doesn't work hard enough to justify that figure I'm afraid.
    Better on the continent that will give better returns and will fetch a better sell on fee when Liverpool come calling in a couple of years
