Does this guy still exist? What happened to him?
Saido Berahino
- Thread starter VorZakone
- Start date
Is ruining his career, he's no top talent but he could be a player who scores +- 15 PL goals on yearly basis.
Classic case of believing his own hype then subsequently doing sod all to justify it
He likes the pies like Anderson does.
Shame as he's clearly a natural goalscorer. Even time you think he might knuckle down and get on track, he disappears again. Seems the likes of Stoke, Spurs, Newcastle, Palace have dodged a bullet at the moment.
Wasn't he on his way to Tottenham once only for Jeremy Peace (the owner of West Brom) to stop the deal? Pulis have always seemed keen to let him go.
West Brom fecked him over. Ever since that move to Spurs didnt materialise, he went downhill. He didnt play months after that, sitting on the bench most games getting a few minutes here and there.
Yeah, I think it's a mixture of him being a bit of a lazy cock and the club constantly holding him there for no reason when so many clubs wanted him.
Expected to see a picture of fat Berahino.
Disappointed.

They should have taken the 17m that was offered from Stoke and Palace, now they stuck with a player who can't play for them ATM, doesn't want to play for them and who's going to sign on to a club in January and leave for nothing at the end of the season, also the fact you're paying him 30k p/w is utter stupid
Apparently on a diet.
I think West Brom have handled the situation pretty badly.
Peace and Pulis should have sold him when they had the chance. Big offers were coming, Peace refused yet Pulis had no interest in actually using him. Not the best business.
Jeremy Peace dropped a bollock here. It's all well and good trying to keep your best players (which Berahino was) but running them into the ground and stripping away the value of the player you claim to, you know, value, is shooting yourself in the foot.
Will all that said, the lad seems to be a bit of a prat.

Not seen a decline like this in years. The lad was a real player a few years ago.
I guess, when you don't get the that big move/chance, it must be easy to just keep taking your £20K a week or whatever
Serves him right.
I mentioned this lad in a post a few weeks ago, I couldn't even remember his name and another poster guessed who I meant. What a complete nose dive from someone so widely touted at one point. His confidence must be non-existent and I wasn't aware he'd taken never mind missed 3 penalties.
Still probably earns more in a week than a lot of us do in a year after tax, which is the real kicker.

And then walked right into one...
I genuinely wanted us to sign him at one point.
Crazy! He looked very dangerous against us a few times too. Players need games and to get games they need to stay out of trouble and tow the line. Is he finished or just having a bad first season back playing?
Was he? Or was he just hyped because he's English and was playing for a side like West Brom so easy target for transfer gossip?
Is it bad I literally forgot his name ? 
I forgot he actually existed.
I forgot he actually existed.I'm sure someone here compared him to Samuel Eto'o while he was at West Brom.
Didn't we have a thread ' Players who are stealing a Living ' just a couple of weeks ago....
I vaguely remember someone saying he’s better than Eto’o..
Da feck
To be fair, he started off well and managed 29 goals in his first 2 full season and was also doing the business for he England Under 21's. I think also, people initially rooted for him because there was a sad backstory to him and it looked like he could be one of those good success stories.
However, he acted the arse at WBA pushing for a move etc and his form suffered as a result. Since then, he's actually been horrendous.
He also failed a drugs test for MDMA. Claimed he was spiked (they all have an excuse) but it suggests he hasn't been focused on his career.
That's magnificent great find! Shows what I know!!!

If ever there was an epitaph on Mark Hughes Stoke career it would be for signing this clown for millions. Must be one of the worst deals ever, which is a challenge in itself.
New Agbonlahor.
I was gonna go and play for Spurs but then I got high
£25 million price tag but I got high
Now I'm too unfit for Stoke and I know why
Because I got high

Remember him putting us to the sword at OT. Never imagined at the time that that was his peak. Wasted career.
I remember being convinced that he was joining United a few years ago as that’s what I was told by someone supposedly ITK.
Good thing we didn’t!
No denying that he could of become a good quality Premier League striker if he sorted himself out IMO.
