Got his 10th goal of the season for New York City at Montreal last night.
Absolute belter too.
Could do with a bit of that confidence in Mr Berahino.

Perhaps we can do a swap. Anyway, isn't Harrison a winger?

Is he another Louis Moult? Just looking good in a pretty poor league?

Yes he is a winger but 10 goals isn't a bad return.
Jezza - you are correct that the defences are poor. My post was more about letting anyone who is interested, given his Stoke connections, that he is doing well.
If you haven't seen the goal it worth doing a search. The angle he's got it in from is impressive and he puts his foot through it. If it had missed it would have been in the stand above the corner flag. He's backed himself completely, it would be nice if Berahino could get a piece of that confidence.

I keep saying it but will surely end up at Man City sooner rather than later?

(unless I've misunderstood how MLS works which is very possible!) and Man City are aiming for a team of superstars, not young projects like him. I thought we should've signed him in the summer. Could've got him very cheap - probably still could. |

Could've got him very cheap - probably still could. They're aiming for both. They've had a few on the bench so far this time around. Even if it's to make a profit like they did with Mooy, I think he'll end up there. |

Just out of interest, does he still have family in Stoke?
If so does anyone on here know them?

Oh ok, he's roughly the same age as my lad and the name just sounds familiar regarding junior football around 10 years ago. I see he moved away when he was 14 so I may be mistaken. |

He grew up in Bolton when his mum and dad split then left for the US at 14. He's never played local football in Stoke. He was in the Bolton then in the Manchester United academies. |

Larry's mate Patrick is his granddad and Elsie his great grandmother. |

Jacks an interesting prospect and have watched him a few times over here. A bit surprised nobody in the Prem has taken a chance on him. Is he on our radar? I would really hope so and at 20 well worth a serious look. I have no idea why Bayern thinks he will eventually end up at ManC ???? Talented but he really is nowhere near that level and it wouldn't be a great move for him.
The England International set up gets a lot of criticism for their selection and often rightly, so but drafting in Harrison for the upcoming games is a great call, hope the lad gets a game.

It will be interesting to see how he does. It would be an unusual career path if he played in the US and established himself there, before coming back to England to the Premier League.

Vieira is the manager and will no doubt be reporting to their general managers who run the City Group and they will pass it on. As FM says the MLS will have the final say but if they can get him for 5/6m (a complete guess based on previous MLS fees), I reckon they could make a profit on that easy even if he doesn't make it there. It just makes sense. |

It just makes sense. He was back in the UK at Xmas visiting family and was receiving treatment on a strain at Man City. You are correct Bayern, NYCFC and Man City are most definitely well connected. |
