I see he has signed for Rajasthan in the Indian 2nd division. 31 years old.
What a career he could have had with his head screwed on. One of the best natural finishers I've seen play for us.

Absolutely. Career in football is short and Berahino has certainly lost out due to personality issues of believing he had achieved before he had actually reached his potential. A real shame all round, for the club but more so for him professionally.
To be honest he has still made a bit out of football but nowhere near as much as his potential showed.
And how time flies if he is already 31.

The strange thing is mate, we could all see it couldn’t we?
This was always going to happen.
I remember at one stage around 9 years ago, he’d been out for a while and came back in an FA Cup tie at home to Peterborough which I think we won 2-0.
He scored but I remember thinking how he’d thickened around the waist and the top of his legs, he was only 22-23 and it was obvious he’d taken his eye off the ball and stopped training as hard.
He was such a slight build and his game was so built on movement that I felt then that it was going to be a disaster.
He was never a quick player, he was a slight build but had a quick mind and got into great positions.
The match below is his full debut when he scores a hattrick.
It was the first I’d seen of him and I said to my mate as we watched him that he was the best and most natural forward I’d seen at our place since Regis in 1977 and I said that by 2018 he’d be England’s centre forward.
He then scored against Arsenal and got the great goal at Man Utd, he was playing in every England age group side alongside Harry Kane.
He had it all, unfortunately laughing gas, partying and always knowing best has ruined him.
Ah well…..if only!
