- With his incredible scoring record for the England u21s, Sadio Berahino was at one time held by some in higher regard than Harry Kane.
What Happened?
#westbromwichalbion #football #tottenham
I dated a girl who knew him from school, just when he broke through at WBA, I told her what a great player he could be and she told me he has a terrible attitude and was always in trouble. She knew nothing about football but knew more than I did about him and she was right
A common theme amongst boys without a strong father figure. It sounds like he’s gained some self awareness with age and I wish him all the best in life
My old teacher used to teach him she said he had terrible tendencies but buckled down at 16 apparently to pursue football. Clearly the tendencies snuck back in
Do you know what it's like growing up in newton in the era that he did. Every time you leave your house you didn't know if you would come back alive. How do you process that as a school boy.
@@leonpalmer2429 I don’t think anyone is blaming him I think it’s just sad the situation that ended up happening
I have a friend who's dad shaged his mum and left her crying of broken heart. He said that Saido was always a fun loving chap, a right proper lad if you will. Needless to say he's spun a story for himself fit for a Wrestlemania main event.
Got to disagree with about him being the biggest what if in the last 10 years, Ravel Morrison imo is the biggest what if player that went wrong
Ravel never really played though, we just heard how much of a talent he was but never saw it on a pitch. Saido had 1 brilliant season and then just disappeared - might not be the biggest what if - but definitely is one of the biggest one hit wonders considering he didn’t score for 3 competitive seasons just 1 year after hitting 14 in the prem at 21 years old.
Nah saido actually scored goals at premier league level, Morrison is someone we’ve been told is brilliant but every game I’ve seen he’s been utter shite
Replies from a lot of people who never saw Ravel Morrison play for West Ham, where he was excellent until he fell out with the manager over who his agent was.
@@michaelfarrow5817Nah Morrison did okay for West Ham over a very brief period. It looked promising and then he blew it as usual. He was a talented youngster but as a professional just an ill disciplined flash in the pan
I mean both Morrison and berihino where both lazy in the end
If I remember correctly the issue was that Levy wanted to pay the fee over 5 years rather than a sizeble lumpsum that WBA wanted. Real shame for Saido he had already formed a understanding with Kane in the youth selections who knows how good their partnership could've been later with Poch
Well that whole transfer saga is very confusing as both sides have totally different accounts of what happened. I've read reports in which Spurs are adamant they offered £25mil upfront in cash. I get the feeling the WBA chairman Jeremy Peace was the stubborn party in that whole affair, but in truth, it's hard to work out what exactly went on.
@flashbackfootball1367 John Percy and several other sources reported at the time that it was 5m up front, and the other 20m in 4 installments over 2 years, ie, 5 payments of 5 mil. This was the exact payment method Spurs then used for signing Sissoko from Newcastle not long afterwards, so it's likely true given how Levy did business.
For a team fighting relegation, 5 mil up front and losing your top goalscorer is hardly a good deal at all given as he'd be impossible to replace for that sort of money.
As a West Brom fan I found this video interesting. Saido was electric in his first 2 proper seasons for us. Truly a player of a different ilk. He was being compared favorably with Harry Kane and it wasn't undeserved. His attitude and the press undoubtably led to a negative feedback loop. We've always been a no nonsense proper football club and I fully believe that if he'd have been able to keep his head down he would be playing for a big club by now. That interview with Sky Sports was the beginning of the end for him unfortunately. I think with a better agent and a closer knit support network he would have never done it but that's just a what-if. We don't know what happened properly behind the scenes but I do think with a tighter leash from the people close in his life he'd have lived up to the potential.
Still... Amazing video pal. You've earnt a sub
Love your videos man.
I appreciate your more humanistic take on the players careers rather than just using stats.
Can tell you’re an actual football fan who watches games.
I agree with this. Most content creators just regurgitate what's on Wikipedia
In one of those periods, he was out the WBA team, he released a video of himself on a private jet heading off to the south of france to party.
Typical misjudged Saido decision.
Character is really everything.
I don’t know how I came across your channel but some great quality content …
Crazy i forgot about this man. He tore the prem up for one season then disappeared off the face of the earth
Yep, that West Bromwich chairman saved him. If he got that spurs move, it would have opened him up to worse than he got at stoke in the way of media interest. He would have been one of those guys that come to London and get sucked into the lights and lost on the training ground.
To call Berahino a one season wonder would be the understatement of the century. As it stands, the goals he scored during that breakout season at West Brom amounts to nearly 30% of his entire career tally 😂
I love your videos and i wanted to suggest if you could do a video on Ledley King
Dominic Solanake until this season. His numbers at chelsea youth should have been the striker that he is now. Ravel Morrison deserves a shout, nice video mate.
Dude has had one single season where he scored more than 10 league goals. He never rose to anything, he just had one good season in his entire career.
Barahino I remember this guy when I use to work the door in Birmingham he was too cocky and the spot lights went to his head and the strippers got to his head
Great video. Thanks
Ooh yeah been waiting for this
Make a video about Andre Green! He stays rent free despite me probably being 11 or 12 when came through
hey very nice interesting topics and page , nice narration sub!
Thanks!
excellent video!
I wonder what would've happened to Harry Kane if Saido got his move to Spurs, I'm sure it was during Kane' breakout season they tried to get him
It’s funny how this video is blaming everyone else but him for his shitty attitude and lack of professionalism. The guy can’t even crack in Cyprus. Just listening to the Glenn Johnson interview, it’s obvious the guy is just nothing but trouble.
Really his name used to come up at times....but vanished all of a sudden
Blame his agent sky Andrew he nearly ruined sterling’s career too when he went to city for the money and then pep came and propelled him to glory.
My problem is that the young players with hunger and talent don't get noticed
Got to big for his boots and humbled himself real quick - deserved
Saw him live wen he score that feee kick against Bristol City
He was a little hard done by, I feel. Why WBA didn't accept the 24 million from Tottenham, I'll never know. Your analysis is spot on; could have been very different. Lots, if not most, people in their 20s have a bad attitude, rebellious streak. Combine that with his impoverished beginnings, family trauma, and the pressures of professional football.
His behaviour outside of football is less excusable. But I do wish him well.
My dad was never really there. I still find it silly that i could ever blame my poor choices on him.
These guys throw it all away because they have poor character and are paid millions inspite of that.
I think I saw every match he played for at Brentford. He looked unreal. Wayyyy too fast and composed in comparison to the quality of league 1 defenders.
Then got replaced by Clinton morrison
love the tonight we love by tchaikovsky
Maybe with a better agent and a better attitude and many other factors things couldve been a lot better
WBA could’ve been £25m up if they just sold him. Saido to Spurs is one of those ‘should’ve happened’ transfers.
Not that simple. Levy tried to palm Albion off with a ludicrous set of installments. A sense of entitlement that is endemic amongst the "big clubs" and their fans.
Wouldn't have been 25m up. He wanted to pay it over 2 and a half years and WBA would have only received an initial 5 million. No way were they ever accepting that for their best player and top goalscorer in a relegation battle.
West brom should of sold him but understandable why they didnt
This video kind of makes out like he was a victim? But he was, by all accounts, a pretty bad person for most his younger years as a footballer. Only has himself to blame. Drink driving is drink driving, whether you've been robbed or not. Getting robbed doesn't give you the right to go out and potentially run a kid over just because you're stressed. Deary me. Utter arrogance from the lad. I'm glad he seems to have finally grown up though. Good luck to him in the future.
Not necessarily the victim, It's just my feeling that a lot of the reporting on him was rather nasty. His side of the story is a lot different from how it was reported and I've tried to give him the benefit of the doubt.
I actually feel bad for Berainho. I personally dont think he would have been a success at Spurs because i doubt he would have got much game time. But to miss out on the opportunity to play for a huge club must have been very disappointing. Stoke was a disaster move for him
Over rated and thought he was better than what he was. Mid
Glen Johnson was one crappy player and person. He should know what it's like considering he went through it as well.
It was really unprecedented for a player to be so negative about a team-mate publicly. It's pretty much an unwritten rule that you don't do that: even if what he said was true.
Shame. The fact the media ignored he got robbed just shows what kind of country we live in
That’s cos he didn’t get robbed. He lied and used it as an excuse.
False
Offsaido Berahino
I wouldn’t even waste time making a video about this cabbage
Another black player that thought he was a superstar
Why does it matter that he's black?
Weirdly bias video def won’t subscribe
Good
He was garbage. Never rated him even in his “good” season and that’s ignoring all the off the field stuff.
Doesn’t take much to be a better talent than Kane, that guy ghosts against any half decent centerhalve
He fell off because he had a shocking attitude and believed his own hype.
