Am I the only one who finds the recent names with which we've been associated as replacements for Berahino somewhat depressing? I appreciate we cannot attract the stellar names we would love to see but recently it's been one of three Stoke strikers ( I wouldn't take all three let alone one of them), Jordan Ayew, that prolific striker from the Villa and now Enner Valencia, who is so far down the pecking order at West Ham that he's basically disappeared. I also see we have been linked again with Ighalo, which would be fine, but I cannot see Watford selling him to us in a month of Sundays unless the deal included Berahino. As the close of the transfer window looms ever closer, the name "Victor Anichebe" keeps coming back to me like a recurring nightmare. Rather than end up with someone's reserve team striker on transfer deadline day, why don't we just keep Betahino this season, play him and let him go end of next season. Sure as hell, he's better than any of those named above.
