I was led to believe that despite Berahino being at the end of his contract the Club were awarded a figure of compensation based on the time he spent at our Academy etc. I am probably mistaken but I am sure I read that somewhere. Following yesterday's performance we certainly need to improve our squad very quickly!

Kennyyg:  Think I read somewhere that a compensation fee was available BUT only if he joined another Premiership club. No compensation was payable if he joined a European outfit.

Less than a fortnight to go before season kicks off and yet again, we seem to be failing in attracting talent to The Hawthorns. Hardly surprising - what player worth his salt would consider joining a Pulis team unless he was desperate.
