West Bromwich Albion's sporting and technical director Richard Garlick has labelled Tottenham's bid for Saido Berahino "not acceptable and "way off the mark".

The Baggies rejected a total of four offers from Spurs throughout the transfer window, with chairman Jeremy Peace repeatedly insisting that the striker was not for sale. And Garlick, discussing the matter at an Albion Assembly fans group meeting, confirmed that none of Tottenham's offers were close to meeting the club's valuation.
"[Berahino] is an ambitious man who wants to push on," Garlick said. "There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
"[In mid-August] there was an official offer from Tottenham which was not acceptable, was way off the mark, was just rejected out of hand. At the same time that that offer came in there was a transfer request put in by the player.
"There was then a further offer a week later which again was way way off the mark, not only in terms of the amount but also in terms of the payment structure.
"Then that was it, there was lots of too-ing and fro-ing conversations taking place and then it wasn't until deadline day that we received a third offer in the morning and then a final offer in the mid-afternoon, by which stage neither was the offer nor the structure acceptable and we were completely left without being able to get a replacement in for the player.
"That was it really as far as the club was concerned."

Berahino was thought to be disappointed that the move did not materialise, the 22-year-old taking to Twitter to voice his frustrations at Peace.
Garlick confirmed that Berahino had been given time off from the club in the aftermath of the incident for "things to settle down".
"At the end of the day Saido's got two years left. We all know that every player in the world has a price, but if you don't want to sell something you don't necessarily put a price on it.
"If you want to sell your house, you'd say what the price is because you want people to buy it.
"If you don't want to sell your house then someone's got to make you an offer that you think... 'Oh, I'm interested, but that didn't happen.'
"In a nutshell, that's it. Obviously then Saido tweeted what he tweeted and he was given an extended leave of absence just for things to settle down and for everybody to reflect where we are."
