RE: 2014 Transfer Window: (Jan 1) Here we go - Will Pulis make changes? - betterthanbaird - 02-01-2015
Is he still mobile? Wouldn't be great alone up front, I'd have him in addition to the current 3 but not replacing anyone, also wages issue.

Striker wise if Berahino goes i cant look past Danny Ings, Contract up at the end of the season so would be available for less than 5 mil. I'd say a better option than Ideye up front.

Ings would be great but the amount of competition for him makes it unlikely.

Gary Mackay-Steven checked on by Swansea and West Brom scouts in Dundee United's derby win against Dundee

IF we sell Saido, we need to invest the money in a promising, young goalscorer either from the UK or in a top European league. I've seen a lot of Albion fans suggesting Defoe, Crouch or Lambert as replacements, look at what Swansea and Southampton do when they sell one of their star players - they sign a Wilfried Bony or a Dusan Tadic who are quality players and when they inevitably sell these players they will be getting another £20m+. Defoe or Lambert would be good for a season or so and would guarantee goals, but if we want to get back to being a comfortable midtable side we have to look at the bigger picture and make signings for the future who have resale value and can help us grow as a club.

Sounds decent if there's any truth in it and a good age but I'd be wary of buying players from the Scottish league cos it's shit.
Am I the only one who thinks Berahino won't leave this window out of interest?
Bad news: one prime candidate to fill the experienced striker role is gone, Bent on loan to Derby.

Not sure about Lambert 96.
Last time out when he came on as a sub for England, he didn't look fit or particularly quick.

Lambert does seem to have gone downhill since joining Liverpool.

All the more reason to go down the young and promising route.
