Shame we didn't hold Coulthirst back from joining Posh.....at least we should have offered Fulham him (on loan) as a sweetner plus winks perhaps.
Meh, him going on loan made no sense anyway, he wouldn't have had a medical if such a fundamental difference between the two clubs on the deal was present. BS.

Think the only way he'll escape WBA is when he runs his contract down.Or if Saido doesn't move, we may get him for a more reasonable price on the summer deadline day

No. We have been interested in him for about 18 months and trying to sign him for a fair while now. The player (or more pertinently his agent) has been keeping his options open as the financial offers have been increasing as the window has gone on.Do you think we are biding our time with this signing? In other words finding out if another forward is possible, before going back and offering more for an immediate transfer or signing off a May transfer?
It must be tricky juggling these things. Ultimately you don't want to be tied to one option, as the selling club have you over a barrel, so it must be best to have two if not three alternatives. But come the business end of the window Levy and team must have an artful guile, for example, putting one on hold while pursuing a first choice etc etc.
My thoughts are that if we somehow end up getting Berahino then we'll sign Dembele and leave him on loan at Fulham. If we don't sign Berahino then we'll end up agreeing a deal where we get Berahino with no loan back to Fulham.as always on this day, there will be some rumour mid/late afternoon that the Dembele deal is back on, only for it not to happen

A deal that seems to have been done that I am extremely puzzled at us not being in the mix is Seydou Doumbia on loan to Saudi Sportswashing Machine. He is the sort of player that could've taken the heat off of Kane a little (although perhaps he is Cup tied for the Europa League?)
