Brown Ideye Back From The Dead
Brown Ideye, the Nigerian international who joined West Bromwich Albiom Of England on high Fee of 10 million Pounds as a striker from Dynamo Kyiv of Ukraine found him self in warm waters as soon as he joined the club tutored by Tony Pulis.
He hit blanks and was hardly looked upon by his club as they gradually lost interest in him as the league went on. There were rumours of the club speculating a move for him even for 4 million pound lesser that what they paid for him to join the club. The club could only think of selling him to one Al Gharafa of Qater but he we can authoritatively say the lad is back from the dead.

He has scored goals wherever he has been: Neuchâtel Xamax (23 in 55 games), Sochaux (17 in 52) and Dynamo Kyiv (33 in 74), plus five in 24 Nigeria internationals. But as a Baggie, apart from one goal against Hull in the Capital One Cup and another that came off his back in the home league defeat by Manchester City, he had been barren. Alan Irvine could not get Ideye to score and lost his job; the new manager, Tony Pulis, wanted Ideye out and Carlton Cole in but could not get the deals done, so Ideye stayed – and scored.
There was one at Burnley in a 2-2 draw, another against swansea in a 2-0 win and two last weekend against West Ham in the FA Cup. Ideye has made West Brom’s relegation struggle less acute and they are in the Cup quarter-finals for the first time in seven years.
They play Sunderland away on Saturday when it might have been al-Gharafa, seventh in the Qatar Stars League, away to al-Sailiya on Friday.
“The club has the right to buy and sell who they want, but I just said to myself that I’m not leaving,” he said. “I’m not lying. I had this strong belief that this time would come. I scored against Burnley, but you can see my reaction, I was not happy. It was after the game with Swansea I really knew that this is me.
“That night I went home, turned off my phone and prayed to God to thank him for this moment. It’s what I have been waiting for.”
Ideye is good to go again and again and agai gain gain!!!
