West Brom boss Tony Pulis says he doesn't want to waste time thinking about Saido Berahino.

Berahino served an eight-week FA suspension prior to his £12million switch to Stoke City last month, with reports claiming the 23-year-old tested positive for a recreational drug in an out-of-competition test..

“Anything Stoke asked for we told them the truth," he said, when asked about the suspension.

“They knew and it is a little bit disappointing when people were coming out and saying 'he wasn't playing, he's being held back' or whatever.

“The truth is now out there so that was for them to say and they knew the situation and that was disappointing, especially after the way the club has looked after him."

He continued: “This club has been absolutely fantastic towards Saido with the way it's protected him, the way it's looked after him and the way it's tried to protect him from everything in any way, shape and form.

“He should be really grateful because I have been at other clubs where the kid could easily have been thrown under the bus.

“But it shows the depth and quality of the people in this football club that they've tried to protect one of their own.

“Unfortunately sometimes you look back and think 'was it worth it?'"

He added: “Personally I don't give a damn now. I've spent two years at this club and he's not my problem any more. I wish him all the best."
