But if he had tweeted nothing, there would have been nothing to make something about.

Totally agree with you, but I doubt any of us could resist having a dig after taking a load of flak last year, it's human nature.

His best reaction would be quit the sulking and do what he does best, proving we were right to keep him.

[dont ask me to choose luv]

I still think he'll go, left training early after 'a knock' hmmm convenient  & I think there'll be at least another one (possible two) coming in, Pulis not at training ground & not doing pre match interview  .....do love a conspiracy theory me!   

Could've swore I saw Saido on the grassy knoll 

If nothing else this proves one thing, I am definitely not ITK 

[Bakeyaface]

What's the general view on his tweet?

Do we think hes been told to knuckle down, scores goals, improve attitude, and try and get into Hodgson's mind before he picks his Euro 2016 squad - and he has accepted it? (also knowing he go go in summer)

Or did he just want the last word again but without rocking the boat too much?

[BoingFlyer]

Glad he is still here, I would take him in are starting line-up even with his juvenile antics over any of our strikers when we play 2 up front.

Fair play to him for his tweet he has been goaded all day. I also read it as he recognized that he had been a silly little boy in the last transfer window.

[Foster#1]

Wow, some people really don't like being proven wrong do they?

Well done Saido for sticking two fingers up at the people who can't wait to pick faults, and the hypocrites who undoubtedly acted like ****heads in their early 20's just like Saido.

I'm 24. I've never drunk drove, inhaled laughing gas. Never refused to work.

[swad35]

Hey I wonder the wording of the tweet, it's not aimed at this forum is it!!🤔

[SmethDan]

What's the general view on his tweet?

Obviously no idea whether he was just having a laff or sticking his tongue out at those who were relishing the prospect of a Tw@tter melt down. I would imagine it was a bit of both.

What I do know is that when I heard the tweet read out on the news last night I thought it was funny and laughed out loud.

[WD40]

Bet he signs a new contract by the end of the week

[seteefeet]

The tweet could and should have been less cryptic but if it is a little dig at himself then fair play.
Am I the only one that thinks that, from a football point of view, this could be the best signing of the window?
If he knuckles down, gets fit and starts enjoying his football again, he, and we, could have a very good end to the season.

I had the same reaction, maybe because sky had built it up so you're expecting fireworks or maybe just because I felt Bera was actually having a laff at himself.

No you're not.

Over to Tony and Saido.

COYB and SOTV.

I think it's mostly whimpering, whinging, whining drivel to be honest.

I totally agree. The side needs him as the alternatives are dreadful. Who else would have scored the 2 goals that he did at the weekend?

He's no doubt been told that he can go in the summer and now needs to knuckle down and score some goals. He may still have an outside chance of making the Euros. TP keeps harping  about his fitness but if he doesn't play how can he get match fit?

[skyclad99]

Agree typical Adrian Durham nonsense.

Durham has a thing about TP and his alleged style of football, so any chance to have a swipe.......

He also supports Peterborough so even more of a reason to try and cause problems.

[sammyg]

Lets just get behind Saido now, he will probably go in the summer, and he seems to of learnt from last transfer window. Lets support him and hope he scores some goals to keep us up!

Eventhough it can often lack insight his radio programme can be funny at times.

With regard to his thoughts on this issue, I believe he'd be better served focussing his ire on his chairmans FA Cup pricing policy.

[johnny Cash]

Reading his latest tweet, I think he might finally be getting (or at least listening) to some good advice.

If he had said nothing, people would have assumed he was sulking, but he addressed the situation sensibly.

He seems to want Spurs, but Spurs have been put off by his reputation it would appear. If he fancied Newcastle or Stoke, I think he would have gone for 24m, but I don't think he does.

So there has been a few things in the media recently to try and fix his image which a clever advisor could manipulate, such as pointing out he spends time doing extra training with the kids and bits about charitable work he has done abroad and with the homeless.

Even allowing his extra training with his striking coach to be on Soccer Am last week presents a person who cares about his career.

He needs to get fit and on the pitch now, whilst avoiding controversy. Waste another six months and a Newcastle / Stoke will be his only option. 

[Albion79]

I think some of what he is saying is true to be fair.

However one of the key things, its okay saying we should of accepted £24m from Tottenham, if it had been as straight forward as that we would of accepted it i imagine? What he doesnt mention is that Spurs offered in installments, a very incentive driven offer with a very low initial amount.
 
We could say we want to buy Messi for £500m, wow - amazing! However we will give them £10m upfront, £10m when he scores ten goals, £10m when he takes five throw ins, etc, etc. Its not as black and white saying we turned down £24m from Tottenham.

We may of turned down bids for Newcastle (who are relegation rivals, why strengthen a rival) and Stoke, Stoke are a better team than us Saido said he wants to play champions league football and with all due respect to Stoke, they wont achieve that! Okay we maybe should of given him the chance to turn them down but i it would of been more of a sideways move than an upwards one.

As the window is now shut until the Summer we no longer need two topics discussing the same subject so this will be closed until any new trasnfer rumours begin to surface.

[paulosull]

No club came near JPs valuation this drivel from journo's is typical, blokes an idiot

Durham seems to have a problem with West Bromwich Albion Football Club full stop and this is just the latest excuse he has to have a pop, its been going on for a while, anything and everything he can have a go about he does.
