Exactly what I said on here early in the week-

I do wish they'd keep up with me, I have to keep slowin' down.............;)

CR, Tell me about it, the part about Michu on the Yacob thread, I swear its been plagiarised from a post I did Tuesday!

On Odem, given whats gone on I don't know if it would be practical. I like him as a player, very much so, but as a person, too flaky for me.

SC needs to be making plans, and I don't see how he can if we have players who could change their minds at the drop of a hat.

I think the club was right to keep him in January, if for nothing else but to show players, potential and incumbent, you come to the Albion, you do it our way, we've got no time for prima donnas who want their own way.

Plus will JP be prepared to let him go for free? given what we paid, and what we have had out of him we could certainly afford too, but in practicality we all know how JP likes to get every penny's worth. That's not a criticism of JP, his system has served us well.

The only way I would have him stay now is if his contract was extended by 12 months, and a clause put in that anymore of that nonsense we saw in January occurs he forfeits his testicles, but that's not going to happen, is it.

However, if SC is prepared to work with a player like that, and JP is willing to lose a few quid, super duper, as I said, as a player I think he's one of the best, but personally, as a man, to many variables for my liking.

Words like bread, side and buttered spring to mind.

Cause he should stay till the end of his contract, then take it from there. ..... as the old rock song was worded, Are you ready rebel, go man go. Play him on Saturday along with Romelu, Brunt wide right, Thomas wide left. "Ommer um ALBEYUN".

BOING~~~~BOING~~~~J♣H.

CR78 well done, there is no doubt you are a step ahead of of all us lot and long may you continue

respect

It would probably cost us far more than we paid for him to replace his quality. Despite still being a bit miffed with the QPR affair I hope he stays.

Peter Odemwingie is still a vital piece of the puzzle that is this Baggies team now and maybe for a few more seasons to come. Odemwingie is the Baggies' key to unlocking opponents defenses and in the process taking the pressure off a solid and sometimes overworked Baggies defense.

Odemwingie's January fall out with Baggies hierarchy, fans and players to my mind does not put him under any unusual pressure to prove himself to anybody.

As a matter of fact this player does not have anything to prove but go out there and play his game and have fun doing it.

Odemwingie's exploits in Baggies stripes is already legendary. He can only add to it in the next 10 games beginning with Swansea this Weekend. For me this is a must win game for the Baggies. Swansea is due a loss and the Hawthorns will gladly provide the venue. Let's clog up the middle, out hustle and out muscle and out score them. Make the last 10 even better than the first 10. WE CAN DO THIS.

Well I don't realy care what happens as long as we don't have a summer of "where's peter?"

by the way I couldn't help noticing on the transfer rumours page something about o hara been a possibility for Swansea? Give me a break.....

Mind you the ball boy vacancy could be up for grabs???

I wrote on here a few weeks ago that I wasn't so sure he would leave in the summer on another thread. Not sure I was first to say it but it got a few replies. I must admit I'm not so sure it's a bad thing. Yes I booed him as it was me voicing my opinion against a man who earns vast amounts off money and I've now moved on. If I'm honest he is the best striker we own so just play him. If he deserves to play then so be it.

Apparently Laudrup has signed an extension tonight to keep him with The Swans till 2015, hopefully we can give him something tomorrow to make him think that may have been a mistake.

C.O.Y.B.!

Blimey, Lawro is praising us on the BBC site, and got us down for a win!

Worrying, very worrying.

.

Annnnnd, round we go again.

Could it be that the stark prospect of a return to Russia has finally made the scales fall from his eyes and allowed him to see the error of his ways. I doubt it some how. I've given up on trying to second guess the situation with Peter. If he stays, how long will it be before he spits his dummy out again? His track record isn't very good, is it?

I've said it before, he's got a flawed character and much as I admire him as a player, you can't trust a word that leaves his lips.

I would rather see him leave at the end of the season so that we can move on while we still have some fond memories of a player who could have become an Albion legend. No doubt in years to come we can have a laugh at some of his daft antics, but only if he's not around to remind us of his arrogance and greed.

Harsh? Maybe, but in my opinion wholly deserved. I'm no boo boy but I don't think that we should just shrug our shoulders and become pragmatic about what he tried to do to the Club and Us, the fans who welcomed him.

Let him go!!!

End of Rant.

Boing Boing!!!

Peter has a real mental problem, good on his day, but lets his head take him to dark places. When he was our only fast paced striker he soared, when he had competition (first Shane then Rom.) he wilted.

I think it would be best for the club to sell him on at the best terms we can get, and invest in a good forward with a strong mental attitude.

Boing Boing..

Afternoon all,

unless we can find a better player for the right price.....and bearing in mind that a club will have to come in for him....and that we might not be able to keep Lukaku for another year.....and he has another year left....think we should hang onto him for as long as we need him. Yes he made a mistake and he's not helped himself with his "tweets" but on his day he can win a match for us.

Just my opinion but while we need him, keep him and when / if he goes then we can wave him off with a genuine smile. We'll always ahve the mol.
