His double against Peterborough being the latest example. “Somebody is playing a media game over Berahino, which hasn’t gone down well”.

He’s making no promises about eventually siging the former England under-21 global, but he fancies another crack at landing the wayward talent and nurturing him back towards his full potential. Are the club right to let Sandro leave on loan?
Doumbia has moved on loan from Roma, subject to receiving the appropriate visa, and he has already set his sights on scoring the goals to keep Newcastle in the Premier League – and to stay in the North-East.
All very interesting, especially when today also happens to be the very last day when the majority of Newcastle season ticket holders can cancel for next season.
The baggies could include new signing Sandro in their squad. It bolsters Albion’s centre midfield options, which would otherwise be left thin with injuries to Morrison and Fletcher. I’m expecting him to be here.
The Magpies are also interested in signing West Brom striker Saido Berahino, according to Sky Sports.
An interesting Sunday as the “Saido Berahino to Newcastle” reports/rumours go through the roof. I think sometimes people forget that and he needs to play.
“We’re always trying to improve the club and this is a big signing for us”.
“It’s not something that we have jumped into at the last minute”.
This season he has managed to score six times – two key goals were against Aston Villa and Sunderland as they gave his team 1-0 wins over both sides.
“He is a young kid and there’s so much surrounding him”. We needed proper full backs, not just players who can “do a job” there. Their position has always been that they will not sell the forward this window. James McClean put a low cross straight into the path of Rickie Lambert but rather than shoot first time he tried to take a touch and ran the ball out of play.
“Saido remains our player”.
West Brom’s Premier League rivals Tottenham and Newcastle have been linked with Berahino but unless a really sizeable offer comes in before the deadline Albion have no intention of cashing in, Press Association Sport understands.
However if the club are to go all out and spend the money on a replacement, Mauro Icardi is on the move from Inter Milan for a reported 19 million pound.

The club are believed to have agreed a deal for the 23-year-old which will comfortably outstrip the £12m they spent to lure Xherdan Shaqiri from Inter Milan.
