West
Brom say striker Peter Odemwingie acted “wholly unprofessionally” after his
apparent attempt to open talks with QPR without the Baggies’ permission.
The
31-year-old arrived at Loftus Road on deadline day, but West Brom stated no fee
had been agreed and he was not free to discuss personal terms.
Chairman
Jeremy Peace said: “Peter has acted wholly unprofessionally.”
QPR
say Odemwingie did not enter club premises and Hoops boss Harry Redknapp put
the situation down to a “mistake”.
“It
was unfortunate really. Wires got crossed somewhere,” Redknapp told BBC Sport.
This
was the most comical thing I’ve seen on any deadline day ever, Odemwingie
trained with West Brom in the morning/afternoon, drove to London and turned up
at QPR’s HQ hoping to sign, only to be told terms hadn’t been agreed and he wasn’t
given permission to go there in the first place.
So now
he’s got 18 months left at West Brom, I’m the sure the fans, players and
backroom staff will welcome him back with open arms, not.
