So I'm most definitely not one of the ITK....

But I reckon the reason he's all mopey faced is there is no WAY JP is letting him go - he knows come the end of the season it's a bigger golden goose, especially with TP nipping at his heels.

Just my poxy theory.

[GrGr]

I would like to see how he goes under Pulis, one reason being, it makes sense to provide him with proper service not long balls.
From all we've read - not just from AI but the academy staff who developed him, it seems he is a good lad 90% of the time....maybe he just gets bored now and then and goes of the rails.
There's one thing for sure, Pulis won't let anyone get above their station and swan about for too long.

I see things in a similar way. Saido has all the talent in the world but he can be his own worst enemy and trip himself up . For whatever reason Saido disappears into his own bubble now and then. It is for him to learn to not go there (mature) and for Pulis and the other players to relate to him in a way that helps him not go there.

For me it is imperative that we can keep Saido and have a healthy Saido turning up for us.  We cannot dump every single "problem" like a hot potato and get rid, we have to have the ability to sort out problems and turn things to our own advantage.

Think you may be right - especially as TP has the final say on whether he stays or goes

Problem is does he still want to be here?. Yes i know it was only Gateshead, but at least crack a smile!

Pulis said he was buzzing in the dressing room after the game.

[smosher34]

buzzing why didn't he show it on the pitch ? he is either shy or moody . great goals today so show it after you score .

[albion59]

did well today but from his body language and lack of celebration after his goals he doesn't want to be here, and if he goes in January he is now cup tied. So that wouldn't have pleased him either, but at the end of the day he got four against a  non league team!!

respect i guess

A co conversation between Jeremy Peace and Rodgers this week...

Rodgers: "Hello Mr Peace you probably know why I'm calling its to talk about Saido Berahinio"

Peace: "Hello we are not currently welcoming offers for young Saido"

Rodgers: "But we want to offer you the twenty five million you want"

Peace: " I don't know where you've got that figure from he scored 4 goals against Gateshead in the cup Saturday afternoon we now want Thirty million pounds"

Rodgers hangs up.

Just seen the goal footage, can see what you are saying

[Dudleylad]

I tell you what moving to a bigger club would be a massive mistake he sulks enough if he doesnt play now let alone if hes left on the sidelines as a Liverpool etc.

My gut feeling is he will be here until the summer if not abit longer clubs will want to see how his 'attitude' pans out under an experienced gaffer.

As for not celebrating today,abit of a non starter really even us fans were just clapping the goals in the main why watch a documentary when you can make a soap opera.

Looking at the highlights - he didn't smile once after scoring.
He just scored four goals in a match and looked totally disinterested ffs!
How is that even possible?
Any psychologists/psychiatrists on the site...?

What's Vic's excuse? he did exactly the same.

There are no excuses for that type of behaviour if what I have read is accurate.

Fans like to see their players celebrate even if they are sometimes exaggerated and over the top.

[baggie96]

None of them celebrated! Most of the fans didn't even celebrate, mostly just clapped! The stick he's getting is crazy, he just scored 4 world class goals, get off his back. Absolutely ridiculous. Also think they've been told to celebrate as a team to show the unity by pulis as every player high 5ed each other after every goal.

To be honest i couldnt give a damn whether he takes his shirt off, does a klinsmann or dances like lee hughes,as long as he is banging the goals in thats all that matters

The blokes got 13 goals now,so he is obviously doing something right.

Some people just like to pick at something

As long as he is scroing goals i couldnt give a damn about anything else

No i pay my money to see my team score goals not to see a player celebrate

wonder what his twitter account is like? I wouldn't be surprised if some people were pushing him away by having a go at him there..

[AlbionFan]

Then somebody ought to tell the players that, would save a lot of time and bookings.

Oh, and by the way, I agree with you

[saml30]

Maybe he wants to stay and he's just annoyed with people selling him off

i did post on here the other day that some posts by "baggies fans" on his twitter account are a disgrace.

you do know the majority of fans BARELY celebrated at all? they just gave a small cheer and clapped. like it was Golf.

the goalscorers didn't celebrate (bar Morrison where he put his arms out for 2 seconds), the players walked to each scorer and hugged and high five'd and all that, not many smiled. Saido wasn't alone in this, but because he scored 4 his face was on screen.

In the way the team reacted to the game and to the goals, I think this was seen as a glorified training session. Which, in the end, it turned out to be.

[Dudleylad]

Back in the days of old an handshake was how most goals were celebrated.
