Look at the transfers that were happening at this time Kovacic to Inter, Beckham to PSG, Monreal to Arsenal, Butland to Stoke who was one of the hottest GK prospects at one point wow time flies...

@Sultan Abdulhameed II its the most unpredictable its been in years, Leicester beat City 5-2, then lost 3-0 West Ham. Liverpool beat Chelsea 2-0 then lost 7-2 to Villa. United lost 6-1 to Spurs

@hugh jaynus99 Media does overhype some of these players like maguire, but it's not like they are shit players. Sancho, sterling, Kane are best players in world imo. Tanganga and Gomez have potential( I know he had a bad game yesterday) Other overhyped players aside from Maguire if u ask me are Mason mount and Declan rice.

@@CronoXpono Berahino fell exactly the same twitter etc

[@RobertDore-w4l]

@@rorytaylor1202 it could safely be argued that Peter got Saido revved up about getting away from the Hawthorns. I remember the Sunderland game when he scored on his debut , the moment he started pointing at the name on the back of shirt; I thought 'hang on a minute'🤣🤣. A really funny story from that great day was that Odemwingie hit me with the ball during the warm up; he was aiming for Simon Cox who was sitting on the bench at the time...LMAO I shouted over to him "how much are they paying you again"? He redeemed himself when he saw me in the crowd at Craven Cottage and threw his match to me - still have it to this day 🙂 A cracking player with talent to burn, but his ego f*c£ed him up in the end, when anyone finds things THAT easy to do they can become bored and seek distraction elsewhere. The Baggies treated him quite well, and it seems he didn't reciprocate, the QPR car park debacle seems like a final F U from the club IMHO.

Harry Redknapp said in this video that 'someone told him to come down and it was not our doing' but he literally confirmed today to Jim White that it was his fault, HE was the one who told Peter to come down as they were hopeful a deal would be done so he should come down as it would take some time from Birmingham to London.
