When he was a scoring all those goals years ago that was the rumour. It's comforting to know that scouts and other club staff obviously make transfer decisions based on more than what we see on the pitch.
Saido Berahino
- Thread starter VorZakone
- Start date
A little harsh on Gabby that, I'll always be found of Agbonlahor for taking the piss out of Arsenal when he was at his best (aka really fast).
Berahino was a much bigger talent than Agbonlahor, he scored 20 goals for West Brom in his second season as a professional. Agbonlahor never hit more than 16.
That Berahino failed a drugs test for recreational substances tells us where it went wrong for him.

Just looked him up on Wiki and found this:
"Born in Bujumbura, the capital of Burundi, Berahino played football as a child with a ball of plastic bags tied up with laces. His father was killed in 1997 during the Burundian Civil War. He travelled to England alone at the age of 10, fleeing the ongoing war to join his mother, brother and sisters who had already been granted asylum in Newtown, Birmingham. He could not locate his family on arrival, and was put in a care home. After his mother Liliane was traced, immigration officials had to administer a DNA test to confirm their relationship."

That's a tough upbringing, but I'm glad for him that he gets to represent his birth country now.

A lot of player make a couple of good seasons and then just return to their usual again. Nothing new.
Every time I see these war links intrigue takes over. I will now spend the next few hours researching the Burundian Civil War.

He’s been playing well recently, has deserved to get his goal. Hopefully this is his bounce back season.
Ravel Morrison? I guess you could argue he never claimed the same heights as Berahino but is clearly an incredible talent, wasted.

More kids in six weeks than goals in the last couple of years.
Its not very traditional, but how can you be accused of becoming a father Congratulations, you've just been accused of becoming a dad today.
Congratulations, you've just been accused of becoming a dad today.Absolutely potent!
Some tidy birds there, kudos!
His timing into the box must be impeccable.
What
No wonder he hasn't been at his usual best, fatigue is really a problem with these footballers.
♪Our boy Saido, he scores when he wants. ♪
There’s something ironic that the fortune he’s stolen in wages over the past few years he’ll now have to hand over in child support payments
Just had a look at the birds. I respect your hustle, Saido. 
Christ on a bike. Now i know I shouldn't criticise someone for becoming a dad, but if true, that's not something to shout about (three kids with three different women that is)
Underrated comment.Yup, can't hate on that.Just had a look at the birds. I respect your hustle, Saido.
He's always off-side; he needs to learn to pull out.
He comes into the box too early too often.
Something something lack of clean sheets when playing away from home something something
Chelsea lovelace that can't be her real name!!?
that can't be her real name!!?He should go to City. I think Pep has the proper personnel to help him with that.
Is this more of the Sterling made up rubbish again?

Easily one of the thickest players that have played the game in recent years.
Guy was looking better than Harry Kane five years ago.
