£5m as the up-front payment - obviously Peace was never going to let Berahino go for that; that money wouldn't even buy you a Big Vic Anichebe!
Saido - what an idiot. I personally don't think we've got anything to lose by sitting him in the reserves for a bit. He'll disrupt the first team dressing room, he's got 2 years on his contract and after 6 months in the reserves I'm sure he'll change his mind.
I reckon that Peace probably said to him last year 'keep us up and I'll think about letting you go in the summer'. I still think if the deal had been right (i.e. £25m mostly up front) and it had been two weeks ago then it would have happened.
For context - Martial has transferred for £36m; he's 18 and never played in the prem. Contrast that to £5m for Berahino and you can see the ludicrousy in what Levy and Spurs were offering.
