Stoke City manager Mark Hughes spoke on Thursday (25th August)

SOUNDBITE: (English) Mark Hughes, Stoke City manager (on Saido Berahino):

"We're quite a way down the line with that one in terms of going back and to. I'm not really up to date with where we are in this moment in time. You have to let these things run their course and give them the time they deserve. There may come a point, not necessarily in these negotiations, but certainly some deals just go on and on and you get to a point where you have to make a decision to move on. Certainly there has been deals this window where we have made a decision to do that. They were clearly not in the public domain like this one is. We're still there. We're still of a view something may happen but we're close to a point where we may have to look at alternatives."
