Some great posts here, especially Broken Man and Silver.
What really pisses me off with this whole affair is how Berahino had the gall to infer how the club had treated him.
Was he not a Burundian refugee who was, at the age of 9 years, taken under the wing of West Bromwich Albion and nurtured by us to become the player he is (or was) today. An example of loyalty to a club who stood by him with his speeding offence and sniffing that happy stuff.
What also pee's me off is the behaviour of Daniel Levy and Spurs who obviously unsettled OUR player in an attempt to get him on the cheap and the media largely spouting on about Spurs final offer being £25m cash. It wasn't all up front and being last minute, didn't give us any chance of securing the services of a proven striker - as Broken said, it was a £5m down payment followed by a tenner a week with various restrictions and get-outs.
Saido should be ashamed of himself and I sincerely hope his dear mum tells him so. He should be relegated to the junior team and if he refuses to play, stop any payments to him and let him rot until his contract expires. His England career is likely to be over for the foreseeable future as will be his appeal to other larger clubs who may have, until now, wished to acquire his services. I'm sure any big club would now be reluctant given his history.
Finally, good for JP for standing up to this cockney bugger at Spurs. I again sincerely hope JP will NEVER sell him to Levy and Co whatever the price and indeed, never do business with Tottenham Hotspur again while Levy is there.
I wonder what the Spurs re-action would have been had the roles been reversed with us going for Harry Kane ?
