Newcastle in the running to sign Saido Berahino. I'm in favour of this personally.

would be a terrific signing if it comes off. If we had a bit more pace in the team I think we could score a lot more goals. That in itself would take the heat off our defence.

our defence was suspect even when we had albert, howey, bramble and woodgate.

Would love to sign Berahino. Considering we have at least 4 first team CBs I don't see us signing another unless one is sold. We'll definitely need one more striker, especially if Cisse is sold(which would be a mistake). I don't think we'll pay the full £20 million West Brom want though.

20 Million plus the rest. If I was West Brom I wouldn't sell him unless a silly offer came in, if Austin is valued at 15 after a season in the prem. Plus Austin is 5 years older as has had big injuries.
Last year Berahino at 21 scored 14 prem goals, whereas Charlie Austin at that age had just been signed up from a non league side to join Swindon. I would put my money on Berahino being twice the player austin is today in 5 years. Berahino if available for 20 million would be a bargain, in 2-3 years he could be starting up top for england and valued at double that 20 million.

Agree Danno but Ashley will go no where near that figure & we will see the old method of bagain hunting and infortunately players lile this will remain as they are for Newcastle fans just names.
