According to the Daily Star, manager Mark Hughes and Stoke City are getting as tired as everyone else with this Saido Berahino transfer saga.  As such, they are reporting that Stoke are set to bid £12m in one last attempt to sign the 23-year-old.

Berahino has barely played since Tony Pulis made his arrival at the Midlands club.  When he’s not been injured, Pulis has preferred other strikers.  Right now, it’s said that he’s “not game fit,” which means he isn’t fit because Pulis won’t play him.

The Baggies, for some reason, tried to resign him for next season, but Berahino wisely turned that offer down.  Now, he’s going to be available in the summer for next to nothing- if we can all make it there.

That’s why this is a big deal.  Stoke are going to be paying a lot of money for someone that they could sign in the summer for far less.  This is something that West Brom need to think long and hard about.  They need to let go before it’s too late!
