Those 2 signings would be fantastic. I'm not sure what to make of the Diamond formation yet, but I'm fairly sure one of the striker roles would be perfect for Berahino. I'm not convinced he can play a lone striker role & he doesn't like playing on the wing, so one of the 2 striker roles in our team would suit him down to the ground. He's young, English and if we can bring the best out of him, would probably be worth a fortune in re-sale value.

It wasn't much of a mystery

I would like us to sign him, but this is what I got told about Berahino in early July:

ROJO STAYING PUT? Sky sources understand that Man Utd defender Marcos Rojo is not aware of any swap deal involving Southampton's Jose Fonte - as has been reported today. Earlier in the window, Rojo was assured he was not on the market and United communicated this to interested clubs. Nothing has changed from the player's point of view. He wants to stay and fight for a starting place.

WEST BROM INTERESTED IN SLIMANI Sky sources are telling us there is interest from West Brom in Sporting Lisbon striker Islam Slimani. We're told the clubs are not far apart in their valuations of the player. West Brom are deciding whether to proceed given Slimani would miss a month in the New Year to take part in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Exactly. That shareholder debt does have to be reduced. So it's quite possible (or maybe a proportion of TV money has been earmarked for that).

Assuming he can pass a medical?

ROJO SWAP DEAL KLAXON! http://thesun.uk/6017B2ni3 * * Alex Crook exclusive disclaimer

Signing Roberto Pereyra from Juventus. That would be OK with me. Then we are keeping Berahino a secret until deadline day

It's funny, I very nearly asked earlier what was going on with Boufal as its gone so quiet. He still fits the profile we want - Plus we know he's injured, so it makes sense that it's taking a while.

Is anyone watching Steaua vs Man City? Just wondered if that Stanciu kid is playing who we were linked with earlier this summer.

Left sided (but right footed) & would tie in with the "18 month" hunt for him. I vaguely remember when Ronald joined I did some research on young Dutch players & I'm sure his name came up as having BIG potential.

But it still means one of them is a no go.

LOL!

Would be a great Pelle replacement, but surely wouldn't fit into this new system?

Apologies if it was already posted:

Perhaps linked with us watching Rafa Silva the other day?

Think it was £23m plus £7m add-on's. Can't blame Liverpool though. Palace have just got £30m in the bank for Bolasie.

Roberto Pereyra Close to Watford move. #BoufalWatch

A big club at a good level for him. Hope he does well there.

Not sure we should be letting him go just yet. If he's not playing and still doesn't fit the system in January, then look at it then, but we're too short of numbers as it is in attack.

I'll be keeping my eye out for the Bolasie version of that!
