“He is under contract and must focus on West Brom” – Club slams Odemwingie after QPR move flops

By Ifreke Inyang 

West Brom have expressed their anger at how Nigerian striker, Osaze Odemwingie, tried to force a transfer deadline day move to Queens Park Rangers.
The 31-year-old turned up at Loftus Road, without both clubs agreeing a fee and was refused entry into the stadium by QPR officials.
The deal eventually did not see the light of day and Odemwingie must now face life at the Hawthorns till the summer, where the club’s chiefs are unhappy with his behaviour.
“This evening’s developments have brought a conclusion to what has been an unsavoury affair,” Baggies chairman Jeremy Peace told the club’s official website on Thursday.
“As our sporting & technical director Richard Garlick has repeatedly said in recent days, we had no need or desire to sell our core players.

“The only way we would have considered letting Peter leave was if an acceptable offer was forthcoming and if we had found a suitable replacement at relatively short notice.
“Neither materialised and, in the end, the matter became a point of principle as much as anything.
“Peter has acted wholly unprofessionally. He must now accept the fact he remains under contract for a further 18 months and has to focus on his Albion commitments.”
