West Brom criticise Odemwingie


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.
