Yep, it's a news story (or non news story) created pretty much out of the bleeding obvious. If Saido scores twenty a season for the next two or three years and becomes hot property for England, then we'll squeeze some Champions League club dry for him and reinvest the money, same as Southampton have done, same as any club would do. Not that I think he'll be hitting those heights, at least not yet; he needs to keep his head down and keep working, and good things will come his way in time. I hope he'll stay at the Albion for a good few years, but I wouldn't delude myself into thinking we'll see a Saido Berahino testimonial come 2023.
