I'd be really unhappy if Jonny Evans left and even more unhappy if Ciaran Clark arrived

That is just being spiteful, we spotted him, nurtured him, made him the player that he is. Rather than let the club gain some reward for their work, effort and faith in him he'll run down his contract and go abroad so that we get nothing. I always liked the lad but his childish behaviour is souring the good memories.

4Eva, I assume he's now looking at the options (Stoke, Palace and Watford) and not being overly keen on them and thinking that, with no or marginal transfer fee next year, his options would be greater. I can't say I blame him, I suspect we'd all take the best personal option for our career or next job move if we had the chance, not that many of us do. When he signed his last contract, I assume both he and the club were happy to do so and he's now completing that contract, seems fair enough. All clubs know that, with a finite contract, their player can leave for no transfer fee at the end of it, hence their wish to sell early if the player doesn't want to stay beyond it. In Berahino's case that's not an option he wants to consider now. Like you, I thought his behaviour last year with regard to the Spurs saga was very poor and his performances then reflected that attitude. However, he has another year to run on his contract and, accepting he's leaving anyway, I'm happy to get a good season out of him rather than replace with a sub standard player just so we can money for him.
