A bit extreme. Lets remember that any comment he has made will be twisted any way possible by the media to sell more advertising space in what ever form of media the reporter represents.
The actual article was written by Steve Howey a Newcastle has-been, where SB was alleged to have said that "I’ve got to stay focused on what I’m doing right now, which is scoring the goals and keeping West Brom in the Premier League. “If I can keep them in the Premier League and score as many goals as I can, I’m pretty sure the fans wouldn’t mind me pushing on and going on to bigger things”.
Why should we really object to that? We moan when players kiss the badge one second and the next they are gone. All SB has done is be honest and say I want to progress my career, (which in honesty he probably can not do with us at the moment) but in order to do that "I have to perform well and score a lot of goals. If I do that the fans will not mind".
Well here is one fan that will say, go out score us another 12 goals before the end of the season, move to Liverpool for £25+ mil, to sit on the bench and I will still applaud you when you come back.
Was he stupid to make the comments in an interview, maybe.
It is a lot harder to get on the kids back though for telling the truth and stating something which any fan would know in their heart anyway.
Bring on the onslaught
