You Can’t Criticize Me, I’ve Not Been Playing” – Ideye Hits Back

Brown Ideye has fired back at his critics, stating that he is not a flop and he has what it takes to succeed in the Premier League.

The Nigeria international joined West Brom Albion as their record signing, but failed to make the match day squad for the last two games. Ideye has only played two games for the Baggies and scored just once.

“A lot of people are writing on my Instagram and Twitter page saying ‘you’re s***’ or ‘you’re not worth the money’,” Ideye told Birmingham Mail.



“You can’t criticise me, I’ve not been playing. How can you criticise somebody who has not been playing?

“I have found it difficult but people can’t criticise, pull me down or have a gun at my head for not playing. I don’t think that is fair.

“It makes me stronger and makes me want to bounce back as quickly as possible.

“I know the money spent for me to be here but I’m not even talking about the money.

“I just want to show the world and everybody that I can do it..

“I have been doing it since the first club I played [for] in Europe and I have never been a flop.

“You can ask all the clubs I have played at. I have been one of the best in the club so I don’t think I will have problems here.”
