A day after Saido Berahino had a transfer request turned down, West Brom have rejected a £22m bid from Spurs for the striker.
Will Tottenham go any higher? Do West Brom have a figure in mind that they would sell at? Here’s the latest theories from Twitter.

Given the amount we spunked on mainly ordinary players 2 summers ago, am less agitated about overpaying on Berahino. Par for the course

Tottenham should walk away from Berahino now. He's worth around £15m & £22m should be final offer. Lots of Qs over his readiness & attitude

People laugh at £22m for Saido Berahino – you wouldn't be laughing if he was called something fancy like Saidiano Berahinohino.

IMO, if West Brom are rejecting your bid of £22m for Berahino, it's time to move on to your next target. Assuming you have one, of course…

Done some research into transfers & have came up with this theory that if we want Berahino we will have to pay the asking price,crazy I know

In the current market with the English premium Berahino's market rate is £25m why Wld WBA settle for less?

If Pulis is getting annoyed that Berahino is under pressure, maybe WBA shouldn't have published his transfer request and 2 rejected bids!

@WBAFCofficial please sell Berahino. The lad doesn't want to play for us, thinks he's above us, and will not be a positive influence on team

Please let #WBA's latest rejection be the last of our Berahino pursuit. He's going to end up costing more than Pedro ffs! It's BERAHINO!

Of all forwards to feature in 10+ PL games last season, 16 players had a better strike rate than Berahino (0.43 goals per 90 minutes).

Reminder that Austin had more goals & assists than Berahino in fewer games for a worse side. And he's ~£10m cheaper. pic.twitter.com/gqqgeuDlQg

spurs will whiff as usual, and end up with no real attacking threat. same old tottenham..
Go for Austin ffs.
Or Defoe 😮
We want Berahino instead of Austin because Austin is the exact same as Kane. He is big and holds up the ball well just like Kane. We need something different.
Totally agree theses other idiots don’t realise this
And what happens when Kane is injured or needs a rest? Who is the replacement target man?
Pay up or shut up. Man utd will come in soon and we’ll get Chicarito (on loan) and Evans + a few million in return. He did say he wanted champions league football, he’ll not get it with Spurs, will he?
Thats got be it now, they messed about Fazio Spurs said nothing! They have done all the media clap trap to try and make out we are the agressers, pull out and let one of the 15 other clubs bid!!!!!!!! Austin will help devolp Keane as well as litten his burden. We then use the rest to improve the wings and DCM….
Strong powerful midfielder, check tiote or Mahmod Sissoko of the BarCodes Move on Spurs and get this done before Saturday….. No windows down at the training ground, saying Joey Barton will be signing for a year or we have resigned Kaboul for a 3rd time.. Onwards and hopefully Upwards.
COYS
Getting Charlie Austin is a no brainer. A natural goal scorer, hard worker and good character. He is also English which means he knows the culture.
Why is everyman from the Midlands thick as shit n ting?
He’s not worth 20m no way when you look at Pedro. Get in Pato or Austin along with Balasio or yarmalenko whatever they’re names are ? WBA need to be left with him they just trying to get one over on Levy playing hard ball he is not worth that money not yet anyway massive gamble
You’re all falling for this nonsense??
Berahino will sign for Spurs & Fazio for WBA before end of transfer window!
Both clubs Chairmen are ‘pea cocking’ & they’ll come to agreement soon without either losing face!
PS. Whether you rate him or not, really don’t matter, Pochettino obviously wants him!!
Get both Austin and Berahino, as some cover for Kane. Also Bolasie and possibly Dwight Gale too! Get them all Levy as too light on forwards at the moment.
Same old Tottenham leaving their transfer business to the final minutes of the deadline. It will get to the stage where Tottenham are desperate to sign any striker whether they fit the system or not. Wouldn’t surprise me if we end up getting no strikers at all and ending up with just Kane all season.
