SiJ Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Meh. Let's hope he's grown up a fair bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoofit Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Get why he’s marmite but DM has worked with him & plainly feels he’s worth a try. That should be comforting in itself. Given our financial situation I wonder where the bargain basement proven goalscorer we are all clamouring for would be coming from if he hadn’t signed. Yes it’s a gamble but I’m sure Moore has carefully weighed up the risk v the potential reward. Time will tell & at this moment who are we to judge? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyCroppersHair Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Happy with this, last chance saloon for him, not much risk for us…if he doesn’t do owt can let him go in January….on the other hand he could knock in 15 plus this season and send us on our way back up…I’ve got a feeling he’ll do ok though and will give him a chance, don’t care how much of a dik he is/was if he puts the ball in the net regularly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpowl Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Just had a call from a Rotherham ( I know ) but we all know how much they hate us and want rivalry and he’s one of the worst any way his words on he’ll have your lot signed him Sky sports praising the move think a lot will look at this deal and we have signed some player Let’s not write him off he’s a player that needs love not abuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam_Baggies Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Guess it’s a case of trusting Big Dave who I’m pretty sure worked with Berahino within our academy. Moore tried to resign him in 2018 but the club wouldn’t sanction it so he’s obviously a fan. when he came onto the scene he was absolutely excellent for us and should have gone onto play for England. His development at that point saw him ahead of Kane in the pecking order. He subsequently threw his toys out the pram and wasted his potential. There was a interview some months ago where he apologised to the club, admitted he was in the wrong and wanted to come back. Claimed he was a changed man. If he’s grown up then he will be a good addition. I hope he doesn’t let Big Dave down 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Willow Owl Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Welcome to the club Berahino. Could be a low risk high reward signing. Will not judge you on your past but what you do for the Owls. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Good. Normally this kind of signing is a ‘hail Mary’ punt for us but it’s actually a bit of a gamble on the back of many many good solid signings. I hope it works out and he could be a great asset but if he isn’t much cop then fair enough, it was very much worth a go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes mangers can be arrogant and believe they can turn around the careers of fallen angels where others have failed. Ravel Morrison, Michael Johnson, Andre Green, John Bostock, Francis Jeffers, Nile Ranger and many more say otherwise. Yep, Moore doesn't strike me as the arrogant sort though. I get the feeling from him that if SB steps out of line he will be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakefield owl Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Assuming we’re not paying him massive wages then has to a good deal for League One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trev Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I don't understand the negativity tbh. He will be on very low wages and if he doesn't cut the mustard it won't be a drain on the club. But... I think we can all agree this lad has ability and if it works he could fire us up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogers Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 A player I have disliked in the past for many reasons Refusing to play to force a move Drugs and getting banned from playing Starting a charity and keeping the money Drink driving Generally being rubbish and not scoring for 2.5 years And he’s one of these types that says he’s religious and does bible studies; born against Christian type. But still acts that acts like a complete idiot Good luck SWFC with this signing 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has made a hell of a lot of them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
