West Brom players for sale if the price is right, says Tony Pulis

West Brom manager Tony Pulis admits every player in his squad, including Saido Berahino, is for sale, but only if the offer received meet's the club's valuation of that individual.
Berahino's future with the Baggies is once again under scrutiny, but Pulis insists any decision on whether the forward, who was the subject of several bids from Tottenham last summer, can leave will be taken by chairman Jeremy Peace.
"Every player is for sale if the price is right and if the club deem it to be right. The chairman will be the one who controls that and the chairman will decide that," said Pulis.
"It's the chairman's football club and financially he has always controlled it in a way that he has thought is the best way for West Bromwich Albion. He will control anything that happens with Saido."
Berahino has struggled to earn a starting spot for Albion this season after missing out on a summer move, but the 22-year-old impressed Pulis after coming on as a 60th-minute substitute in Wednesday's 2-2 draw at Chelsea.
Pulis said: "He came on at Chelsea and I was really pleased with his attitude. He is getting fitter, but I wouldn't say he is back to his best just yet. The problem is we have this window every six months and speculation just hangs around.
"Like I said, last year was a big disappointment for him, the club didn't want to sell him. Saido would've gone, definitely, so that was a big knock for the boy and it did take its toll.
"He was getting back and then the window opens and the speculation begins again. We have to deal with it and the lad has to deal with."
