He scores goals and is motivated by money and a move to a larger club.

Play him and tell him he needs to perform and score goals. He must close his ears to the negative comments he will get from players and fans alike and show the top 5 clubs what he can do so that he is attractive to them in the summer.

This way we get results on the pitch (which we want) and he gets his chance at the 'big time' which he wants. If we get £25m in June for him we have all summer to find one or two or three players to build a squad.

I want goals, I want premiership survival and I want a quality squad focused on winning next season - his success on the pitch is key to that and so putting him out to train with the kids does not help and it means we'll sell him for far less in the summer.

Rock and a hard place guys - But don't go booing him, pretend it has not happened and cheer his goals.

...this is the unfortunate but inevitable consequence of SB coming out with things like this; THIS is where the team, and the club, could well suffer greatly by SB not putting brain into gear before speaking.

It may seem from the outside that all is needed is a 'Team Meeting' and SB is asked to apologise. Hopefully it would be that straightforward, but I just get the feeling that, with SB, it won't be.......

What pissed me off is his comment "if I could keep THEM up", surely its "IF WE CAN STAY UP"

We have given him everything the ungrateful foolish idiot. Hes gonna be followed all his career by ill advised comments and actions. End of the season cash in and feck him off.

Makes me laugh how he got ahead of Harry Kane a few months ago. He's so overated and Harry Kane is twice the player he is.

Totally agree with you, Dan.  Thing is, I wish we could have flogged him before this fact became apparent to "the top clubs" who are supposedly interested.

I don't think we'll get anywhere near the £20 million plus that some imagine.

Neither do I BaggieBomber the lad's turning out to be another Odamnwhinger and we just don't need it at this time.

Has he been spotted on a 'top club's' car park yet?

Oh!! I forgot he's banned from driving isn't he.

Let's face it, if we are relegated then it's as a result of the whole team's performance. SB can do his bit to help us survive but come the Summer lets wave him goodbye, get as much as we can for him if he is going to be a disruptive soul in the Dressing room. TP has already said SB is "on the Naughty Step". If he doesn't change then it is adios amigo. There is no honour or Loyalty in football. The only Loyalty is from the Fan's. Let's play our part in Survival by cheering the team on in every game & yes I know it's a bitter pill to swallow when you spend hard earned monies to watch some player(s) who don't give a toss but swallow we must (which would you prefer- Swallowing or going to watch the Vile/Dingles instead!!).
Can I also suggest getting "Big Dave" or Cyrille to have a quiet word with SB behind the Stands-- that might just sort him out!!

Any one think Saido may get injured during training?

What Salop Baggie says is fair enough, but as Beefy says, the timing is useless.
I reckon his agent's put him up to saying some of the things he's said.
I have no idea why he did this interview without the club's permission.
It's another Peter Odemwingie situation in the making.
Agree with Beefy again, let's try for Danny Ings and Charlie Austin and get shot of Berahino.
