Keyblade Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I don't know about you guys but Schneiderlin is a superb signing for them. Gana, Barry, Schneiderlin and Barkley is a very strong midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 13, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 13, 2017 Let's say Everton is probably his level, and Koeman knows him well, so it should work out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennon and Deulofeu are not really that level. is the right answer, he's a step in the right direction but they need a proper splurge, havent seen that much of them if im honest but just looking at the squad and then the table you can see the problem is scoring, he's not going to help them with that they'll finish in 7th this year, well clear of 8th but way off 6th too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Quote Stoke manager Mark Hughes remains "hopeful" of signing West Brom striker Saido 'Gabby Agbonlahor' Berahino in the January transfer window. The Potters bid for the 23-year-old in the summer, while the Baggies made a third contract offer last month. Berahino has not played for the first team since 10 September and was sent to a conditioning camp in France to help him lose weight and regain fitness. "We are interested in him, as a number of other clubs are," said Hughes. "I am hopeful we will be able to get something done." Berahino's deal at The Hawthorns expires at the end of the season and Albion have been in talks with him since the summer. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38609201 Why in God's name would anyone touch this waste of space? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I really don't get it. I could understand the interest when he was playing well a number of years ago, but he's scored 1 goals since the end of October 2015. You know, the same as Gabby.

I don't get Albion's stance on it either. They keep refusing offers for him. They could have had close to £20m for him last year. He's not that good! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 13, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 13, 2017 WRT Berahino. I think it's fair to say his contract situation has severely impacted his goal return whether that be through lack of motivation, engineering a move or the resulting lack of first team chances. I don't think Berahino is a "1 goal every 15 months" kind of striker if he's playing in a team he wants to be in. That's not to say he's a world beater, and maybe now he's just a world class sulk. But I think once he moves, you'll see a decent Premier League striker. His new club might even get a spike in his return solely because he has escaped from what he probably sees as a prison sentence at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 i agree with that, think someone out there (obviously hughes) will be convinced that there's potential for a bargain here, he'll get some decent offers this summer if he runs his contract down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted January 13, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 13, 2017 Linky! That's that one done anyhoo. Quote Jeffrey Schlupp: Crystal Palace sign Leicester winger for an undisclosed fee Crystal Palace have signed Leicester City winger Jeffrey Schlupp on a four-and-a-half-year deal Schlupp, 24, has joined for an undisclosed fee, reported to be £12m. The Ghana international made 24 Premier League appearances in 2015-16 as the Foxes won the title for the first time in the club's history. But he has started only one league game this season and has not featured at all since the 5-0 Champions League loss at Porto on 7 December. Schlupp, Sam Allardyce's first signing as Palace manager, was left out of Ghana's squad for the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon. He began his career at Leicester - making 150 appearances for the club and scoring 15 goals - and had a loan spell at Brentford during 2010-11. West Brom boss Tony Pulis had been interested in Schlupp, who joins a Palace side 17th in the Premier League. The Eagles, one point above the relegation zone, visit West Ham on Saturday, then have an FA Cup third-round replay at home to League One Bolton on 17 January. Schlupp will be available for the game at London Stadium. Allardyce praised the versatile winger, adding: "He will bring strength and experience to the defence and will be a major asset for the club having just turned 24-years- old".
