#4 Saido Berahino in twitter outburst against club chairman on deadline day.

Berahino West Brom Tottenham Spurs

West Brom striker Saido Berahino tweeted against club chairman James Peace after he blocked the striker’s move to the White Heart Lane on the deadline day. Spurs had already had offers worth £18m and £22m for Saido Berahino turned down, and it emerged that one of the packages had been structured around payments of £3.5m each year for five years, which had served to infuriate West Brom and their chairman.

The English forward would not complete the move despite 4 bids from Spurs through the window. The tweet then leaves the Baggies and their player in a tough position. While both Tottenham and Jeremy Peace have explained their stance, the situation for the player is one where he has to reconsider his future at the risk of missing first-team action for half a season at least.

While he seems to vow not to play for West Brom again, the lure of the pitch may prove just too strong for the player.
