Obviously it was a cash offer since no player part-exchange was involved, but I've heard it was over five years at £5 million a year, but crucially the timing of the offer only left us with an hour to buy a replacement forward, given that we'd heard of no offers going in for Charlie Austin or anyone else. And it was this timing that JP objected to, given that Spurs had had the whole three-month window to make their bid following first discussions with JP in May - as I've seen reported. If any Spurs fan, or TV pundit like Danny Murphy, tries to say they thought Salomon Rondon was Berahino's replacement (as Murphy did say) they are wrong, because we were already a forward down after selling Brown Ideye to Olimpiacos.
