Like the length of your response but we'll never know the promises made or not to him. Me, I'd love him to sign; but I've now accepted it ain't gonna happen - a while back in fact. Totally non-plussed by all the news that surrounds him; although, as you can see I still check in on this threadIt's factual statement, his playing time this season demonstrates that and just because you don't like does not make that any less true. I would love to see you explain how that is not the case.
As for acknowledging him being the best striker, well capitalising and bolding a word does not make that a fact, it is called an opinion and there is difference between two.
And lets for argument sake that he is their best striker, so what? We are talking about a pool of strikers that consists or Rondon and Lambert and they have a combined 7 goals to their name, it is hardly accolade of note is it?
The mistake you make is that you believe that these problems are unqiue to this season when in fact they are not. Pulis said in 2015 January window that he could go, the player was already showing disrespect at that point by refusing to celebrate his goals in his games and that is not even mentioning he is off-field antics which consisted of him being banned for drink driving as well as being caught taking nitrous oxide.
Berhaino had issues last season but still was able to score 16 goals so I don't see how his current ones (which are largely the same) are now all of a sudden the reason behind his poor form this season.
As for Peace, well Morgan Schneiderlin was in the exact same position as Berhaino the season before. His chairman went back on his world, the player went to twitter to air his views but unlike Berhaino he went on to have this best season in a Southampton shirt. That is the sign of a professional, it is the sign of the player with the right mentality, everything that Berahino is not. I find it amazing how willing so many are to find excuses for a player with a such poor attitude and now one with a poor performance record to go with that.
And if you think that striker that has 3 goals to his name in 17 games represents a player doing what is asked of him then you seriously need to revise how you evaluate players (you might also want to look at your debating skills whilst you are at it).
