Still thinks he needs to improve at the moment.
Currently think, In an ideal world, he would be back up (Or play alongside) a Bony or Gomis / Lukaku / Riviere or Cisse / Benteke etc - all strikers of teams that are in and around us.
Wander how many of you would honestly take Berahino over any of them?
I consider him to be the equivalent of Morrison in the Midfield role at the moment. He will definetly do a job up there, and he has his strong points (think he is an excellent finisher - not just from the video and also his hold up play as the lone front man has been very good for a guy of his stature) but I think his movement / positioning off the ball needs to improve, and his physical side (i'd like to see him a bit fitter and sharper) needs to improve.
As I say similar to Morrison, CURRENTLY, a useful player to have - but needs to keep improving (which he can do due to his age) before he's one of the first on the team sheet - which at the moment he is due to our other options being injured, or fairly average.
Don't want to seem too negative, he's a tidy little player, But I think he needs an extra 5 or 10 % improvement in my eyes.
