Amazed we got any money for him! Probably got more than if we had accepted the original offer from Spurs.

Changed my mind, I hope he gets attacked by a honey badger

Quite possibly the most hated footballer to leave us. He's going to get the wrath of my tongue in a few weeks the fat twonk

Reading the oatcake is hilarious

So desperate for a striker they could have signed Mick Quinn as he is today and be wetting themselves

See ya then! Can he do it on a cold windy night at Stoke. We shall find out. What a strange move for the guy, I mean nearly 2 seasons of refusing to play to eventually sign for Stoke

The sad thing about all this is that we have looked after him for 12 years after fleing his troubled country of birth and I cant help feeling he has let us down, I am not angry to be fair just let down and sad about the whole saga. I cant help feeling in 18 months we will see the same situation happening again, the only plus is that we have a decent sell on clause.

We have a sell-on clause??

How have we managed that??

This deal gets better

whats the bet he is on the bench for Stoke and fit to play . truth will come out one day whats gone on . in truth he never really did play for Jermey Peace again .

WBArgo · « **Reply #10087 on:** January 20, 2017, 10:32:01 PM »

To be fair, he's been fairly gracious on twitter with his departure, I half-expected him to have some snide comments.

With regards to Hughes, he's done well with handling Arnotovic who previously had personal issues, and I believe Shaqiri did to a lesser extent, so if anyone can change Berahino then it's him. Having said that, it was quite telling last month when Berahino said he was depressed, I think what the Stoke fans probably don't grasp fully yet is that he's a fantastic player/athlete but it doesn't really matter because of his mentality.

It will be interesting to watch it unfold, he could recover his career, but with all bias aside I think he will struggle especially after missing so much football and development.

Yes!!!!!!!!!! I too punched the air when I found out! So happy he's gone. I just don't ever want to be reminded that he used to play for us. Good riddance to bad rubbish!!

ashdoy · « **Reply #10089 on:** January 20, 2017, 10:42:23 PM »

The final time I comment in this thread and I will stand by my belief he is the most overrated player in the league and arguably this decade.

He leaves having scored 23 goals in 105 Premier League Apps.

The season he scored 20 goals, came in 45 games in all competitions. 4 of which came against Gateshead, and also 5 penalties.

The 2014/2015 season he scored 8 goals in the first 10 League games, scoring just 7 in the next 28 that season.

15/16 he scored 4 in 31 league games.

16/17 just 5 apps, no goals.

Countless issues, whilst on loan at Lower league clubs and during his "peak".

Apart from a flurry during the early stages of the 14/15 season; I fail to see how anyone can truly say this kid is a massive talent, it's not sour grapes either, I've never rated the lad.

Good Riddance & Goodbye.

My thoughts exactly. Part of me would have quite liked to have had him hanged, drawn and quartered, with his head stuck on a spike outside the ground but perhaps transporting him like a plague bacillus up the M6 is even better.

Chuffed with this. Overrated, overweight, shocking attitude and application, bad egg.

Good riddance.

Very disappointed that he didn't fulfill his potential with us, but he was finished here and had to move on.

Great player but filthy attitude, can't help thinking that Stoke and him are made for each other - not got any time for either - only hope his career goes the same way as Odemwingie after he left us!

I'm honestly extremely surprised he's not waited his contract out and rinsed it on a bosman.

I have not been shy in stating there are two sides to the Berahino saga and as bad as he has acted, the club and supporters have been just as poor or worse imo.

I am very glad the sage is over and having gone to Stoke, I don't really "wish him well", but I thank him for the times when things were good.

Sad it went this way, but it has now and I am very ready to move on from Berahino

I agree. Makes you think there is more to his side of the story than many would want to believe. It's a good outcome for all involved.

I don't think he's a bad guy, I just think he's easily lead and lacked a strong rolemodle due to his dad's death.

I hope he does ok, it's just a huge shame it's not for us.

This must be seen as a positive result though
