Apparently we have bid a 'take it or leave it' offer of 24 million for Berahino. It would be some statement of intent from the club if this one comes off.
I've just heard that on SSN, £24m in one payment. Not many clubs will pay up front that sort of wedge.
ones things for sure if spurs or stoke want him they are going to have to pay good money aswell ha ha

We understand West Brom could accept #WBA Lee Ryder Verified account @lee_ryder #nufc not giving up on Saido Berahino. This actually seems to have legs.
Accepting it quickly would give them time to get a replacement who wants to be at the club to - assuming the chairman wants to spend the money!
Pete Graves Verified account @PeteGravesSky 12m12 minutes ago as always with #NUFC an ability to pay transfer fees in full cash gives them an edge.#21million #berahino #wba
If this comes off this would be our best transfer window in living history. Left back as well and I'll wake up in a hot sweat and discover we've made no transfers save Shola's back on a 3 and a half year contract.
I think it would make sense all round. We know ourselves how much harm it can do having someone in the dressing room who doesn't want to be there.
The rumours just keep getting better. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/...afetimbi-gomis-move-newcastle-united-10814368
He done the same 3 years ago in January but not to level of this spending. Basically bringing the summer recruitment forward 6 months.
He might well be, but this time we can't blame him for the situation we are in. Yes, part of our current predicament is down to years of under investing, but since his interview he has done what we always wanted him to do. He is investing in the club and keeping his promises. I suspect that whether we are relegated or not, he will be taking a close look at why that investment has not seen us higher up the table. We were in the top 5 clubs in Europe for spending in the summer, and (I think) we are the top spenders of any club in the world in this window. His job is to provide the cash. It's the 'football' board's job to spend it.
Exactly this, I think it says a lot when (A) we are bringing in a 28 year old striker on loan, (B) Bidding 21 million for any player and (C) the French lads like gouffran, riviere, are reportedly being shipped out along with thauvin and cabella to be replaced by a "british core"
