Haydnator 45 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Heavily linked with him today. Hopefully scoobos doesn't rate him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Holden McGroin 18 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I think he'll turn out to be a very good player. Needs to fire his agent though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 He always seems to score when he starts which is good enough for me. Clearly doesn't fit in at West Brom seeing as that dinosaur Pulis plays Anichebe and Lambert ahead of him, even when bringing them on from the bench. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ewerk 5,790 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 He's young and English and West Brom showed during the summer that they weren't prepared to let him go on the cheap and I can't see them doing so now even if he isn't starting. The worry is that he has fallen out with at least two managers that I know of and if he was in any way a success here he'd be agitating for a big money move to a CL club. Actually I'm starting to see now why Mike Ashley may give the go ahead for this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scoobos 0 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Just reading about him, 1 hell of a back story and for every negative there's 4 positives. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Haydnator 45 Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Not in WBA's squad for the cup replay tonight. He is "ill" apparently. Bet he's in Sinners or the Cluny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Noelie 103 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Thing is.......he obviously has an attitude problem and would you want to pay really big money for a problem child? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gemmill 2,609 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 He's too static for that. He'd be a blur, jumping up and down and waving manically. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Fish 649 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Much rather have Berahino than Townsend. Abso-fucking-lutely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I wonder if Spurs are trying to get us to pay over the odds for Townsend so it can fund their own move for Berahino? But as Chez said I'd much rather Berahino over Townsend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kid Dynamite 1,072 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 ''Born in Bujumbura, the capital of Burundi,[2] Berahino played football as a child with a ball of plastic bags tied up with laces.[4] His father was killed in 1997 during the Burundian Civil War.[5] He travelled to England alone at the age of 10,[6][7] 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.[4]'' Not necessarily just the spoiled rich kid he's made out to be.

ewerk 5,790 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yeah but it doesn't mean that he can't be a prick now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strawb 801 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Now that's a fucked up situation and that but what kind of mother, takes all her kids abroad to avoid war and leaves one behind? It's not Home Alone love. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Howay 2,087 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Now that's a fucked up situation and that but what kind of mother, takes all her kids abroad to avoid war and leaves one behind? It's not Home Alone love. The Burundi version was harsher. Honestly had no idea about his background and it sounds like a rough one. He still has a worrying tendency to fall out with managers, saying that I'd definitely fall out with Tony Pulis if I was a footballer as the bloke is clearly an utter cunt and looks like he's more of a rugby bloke (definitely has all of Jeremy Clarkson's books as well).

zico martin 17 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 so have these rumours got any legs then? How much is Tony after? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scoobos 0 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Yeah strawb cos when you're fleeing a civil war you get the same chance of organising things... its likely she had little choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strawb 801 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Chill out mate, its a was a throwaway line. If you still fancy getting all moral, then feel free. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
