Dont mean to be controversial but maybe that West Ham coach who was sacked for emailing that 'African players have bad attitudes and cause mayhem' was bang on the money.....

I do see it myself with a lot of African players, a lot of them who are leaving the chance of a decent career in Europe and going to China for the money.....no love for the sport so have no care for it and have bad attitudes and just chase the money...like Berahino

There have been some class African players down the years but recently ive noticed how many of them are causing issues at clubs and chasing the money rather than the career

But how many African players don't do that? 

[zippyandbungle]

But how many African players don't do that?

You mean like toure or Odemwingie or sakho or adebayor or Berahino ?

[Foster#1]

2 years without  goal

How much hasn't he picked no up in that's time ? Got to be over a million surely

I would say it would be over £4m.

[Scooby Doo]

Lauren, Kolo Toure, Kanu, Radebe, Okacha, Essien

Thing is there are so few African players who have played in the Premiership it will look a lot worse. Especially when those who do play here tend to be exceptional and as a result tend to attract a lot of attention.

Well if he has been on £60k a week since he has been at Stoke, less 45% income tax, let's call it 60 weeks he has been there...£1,980,000 in wages from Stoke plus any signing on bonus and anything else has been paid.

I have no idea what he was earning with us, was it still the £12k per week original contract?

I think he is on £70k plus bonuses a week at Stoke. From memory, think he was on £15k when he left us.

[Fritzl Palace]

£2,310,000 plus bonuses since being at Stoke.

£429,000 in his final year with us.

The lad epitomises all that is wrong with football. Ridiculous money for absolutely no output.

I'm just glad he's not doing it for Stoke and not us.

Imagine he'd actually signed one of those contracts we were hurling at him with a tribunal fee in mind 

[liverbaggie]

£70k PW = £3:6 million pa.
He could take 1:6million pa in wages less 45% tax keeping say 800k to live on and put £2million tax free into his pension.
Or have it all paid into an offshore company and loan money back from it at 20% tax payable

Knowing what a childish moron he is, I suspect he'll have financial problems soon after retirement.

[liverbaggie]

Yes I agree mate,football is mad,how can a striker earn £70k per week whose job it is to score goals for not scoring at all for 2years,am I missing something here.
Can't they sack him for incompetence?

[Foster#1]

"Saido Berahino's troubles at Stoke City have continued after he was disciplined for arriving late to an U23 game."

[Atomic]

I bet Stoke are so glad they signed him. 

[tommcneill]

I said it whilst he was with us and the trouble began......he will drop down the leagues

The guy doesnt have the application to be a top level player, he has ability but without application it will only get you so far

No goals in 2 years, turning up for a game that wasnt even being played that day and then turning up late for this match....

He is being paid a huge amount of money to basically do nothing, Stoke should sign me ill accept 20k a week if they want to waste money but ill also clean boots, help coach the kids and drive the bus if they want me too, but i tell you this now id have probabaly scored in the last 2 years aswell

Its a sad state of affairs too see him goto pot when he really had the world at his feet

[BaggieBoy04]

Apparently just scored for Stoke U23's  Who are losing 4-1.

Nah! Under 23 stones. He just made the weight apparently.

Why always him?!!

So lets look at the evidence.

There is a charitable event and Saido is the sponsor/ambassador. The night is a great success and lots of money is raised 'for charity'.

Said charity/charities does not receive and of the funds raised.

So where has the money gone?

I wouldn't be surprised if this is referred to the police. I am not for one second suggested Saido is involved or has knowledge of the dissipation of the charity money, but this absolutely stinks.

Sorry but that headline is hilarious...I hope it's true because of how ridiculous it sounds - wouldn't rule it out with Berahino 

[The Black Pearl]

Hope he has a flex down in his contract!

Best thing we did getting rid of this waster.
