Brown Ideye hopes he can prove his value to West Bromwich Albion in the second-half of the season.
The Nigeria striker struck in the 2-2 draw at Burnley on Sunday.
Ideye, who was the subject of an offer from Qatar last month, said: "I never thought I was going to leave West Brom for a club in Qatar. I haven't really started playing football for West Brom so I think I should have more time.
"I've been having a lot of support from the fans and people at the club so I don't think now should be the time for me to leave.
"People can say what they want, they have the right to do that. Since I came here I haven't been that Brown Ideye that people know and I feel bad about it.
"This is England and if you're not giving your best, people talk. I think they are right in everything they say.
"I should be on top of my game but it's not possible for you to be on top of your game when you're sitting on the bench so I just have to keep pushing on, even if I only have 10 or 15 minutes in the game. I have to prove myself."
