Wishlist Saido Berahino

[didierforever 7,349]

7 goals in 9 apps this season, at a shit team like WBA is pretty impressive imo. Still 21 years old and English, very promising.

we had a striker who scored 15+ goals for wba. the idiot shot himself in the foot.

Not that I think we should sign him but I can't help but chuckle at the "we should prioritise our own youth first" line.

Imagine if we decided to decline Frank Lampard to focus on Jody Morris or not sign Joe Cole because Anthony Grant was coming through the ranks? Just saying.

Agree, as much as I want to see our young player from academy break through to first team squad, I think it is too 'early' to realize it.

A lot of factor come into consideration, one of it, is because we're playing in a highest level possible competitions. The standard are very high, that a young player with only a good talent will not be enough to make it, without experiences and regular playing time. Yes, we could loan them, but sometimes it is not working as we expected.

I don't have to explain why other mid and small teams could produce some great young players. It is of course because they have enough talent and could developed well, because they are given a lot of playing times.

What I want to say, if we have something to do as our priority first, is that to fulfill HG quota. If necessary and if available we should sign a young HG player, who is ready imo. For example like this Berahino. If available, we should go for it.

Just the striker to create competition and elevate us to the next level. Excellent.

Would be the 2nd best striker at the club behind Tammy Abraham!!

When you think about it, it's pretty much the type of player we end up getting!

Thats the thing -we could get him, and say he scores five in five, and then  Real or someone come sniffing. The next thing hes on his agents instructions to go slow
