According to Sky, JP has stated that Saido is not for sale. Could this just be a ploy to push the price up?

Bluntly, yes. I'm sure he's going unless he does something stupid to put Spurs off.

Or could this be a ploy to tell Spurs and anyone else that he is not selling Berahino.

Very unusual for a club to make an offer from another club this public. If JP had any intention of selling he would have told Levy in 'private' that he is not for sale prompting a new, bigger, offer.

It would seem, on the face of it, that Jeremy is serious.

...unless Spurs get stupid with offers like £30m, of course...
