Peter Odemwingie might buy out West Brom deal
Peter Odemwingie is set to return to West Brom tomorrow to face the music after resuming his Twitter tirade today and hinting he might try to buy out his contract.
The Baggies striker continued to hit out online despite the club saying yesterday they would “deal internally” with his weekend rant.
Odemwingie is due back at the club’s training ground tomorrow after flying to Dubai on Sunday for a short break with his family.
All West Brom players not involved in international squads were given three days off after Saturday’s goalless draw at Stoke.
Having reopened his war of words with the club and supporters at the weekend, Odemwingie today sent out another cryptic tweet.
It read: “I see a free player. A player who buys out his contract soon. Or a retired player. Does he look like he cares much? They made him not to.”
Odemwingie had previously retweeted a message from a follower, pointing out he would be eligible to buy out his contract this summer under article 17 or FIFA transfer regulations.
Article 17 allows players over the age of 28 to end their contracts two years after signing by paying a compensation figure that is determined by their weekly wage and their original transfer fee.
Odemwingie also retweeted several messages of support and posted a mobile phone screen-grab of an interview in September with assistant head coach Kevin Keen, praising the striker in the wake of his red card at Fulham.
The 31-year-old’s Baggies future already looked uncertain after his January transfer request, the subsequent statements and tweets and his drive to Queens Park Rangers on deadline day led to a club fine.
He has made just four appearances as a substitute since January and criticised the club at the weekend for keeping him on the bench.
Meanwhile, Baggies midfielder James Morrison has been ruled out of Scotland’s Friday night World Cup qualifier against Wales due to injury. He suffered a hamstring problem at Stoke on Saturday.
Young Albion defender Cameron Gayle, who is on loan at Shrewsbury, will be sidelined for a month with a hamstring injury.

Not doing yourself any favours are you Peter?
Jake
He wants to leave. You should have let him. All this would have been avoided.
StripedPyjamaThrostle
We were offered peanuts for him so why should we have simply let him leave? It's not exactly disrupted our form and all Peter is doing is making himself look an utter fool.
carly g
Thats right SPT! I actually feel embarrased for the man!
baggieinmanc
So we should've just let QPR and Odemwingie walk all over us and accepted it with a smile? Is that what you would've done? This situation is not Albion's fault this has been engineered by Arry, QPR, Odemwingie, his agents and the twitterati.

I enjoy in-depth discussions, but some things drag on for far too long, and Peter Odemwingie has gained far more attention ( so much of it bad ) than many of the great Albion legends from past years, so it's really time for this whole sorry episode to be resolved, but in a way that suits West Bromwich Albion Football Club, not someone acting like a spoilt, immature brat.
P.O. blames the club, his agents, etc., etc.-
I picked up a book some time back by the American author Jack Canfield, called 'The Success Principles', outlining advice from many of the worlds most successful people-
at the very beginning, the first piece of advice is-
you must take complete responsibility for your own actions!!!
If anyone knows where Pete lives, give me his address, I wanna send him a copy.........
baggiescomon
Agreed mate, I stopped commenting on these PO stories a while ago for the same reason, and said nothing about yesterdays story, I think we should all withdraw from saying anymore and then they (PO and E&S) just might get the massage.
Cyril Randle
P.O. won't get the message, he only ever listens to his inner voice and you cannot blame E&S for reporting what goes on, it's their job. Sometimes it's good news, sometimes.......They have just reported that the Wolves' goalkeeper has broken his hand in a fit of pique with the manager. They had to for their supporters sake.
Saunders Foot
How successful do you want somebody on 40k a week to be ? He's on holiday with another 2million waiting to be paid into his account for the remainder of his do-nothin contract. Who is the loser, the player or the club ? Like every other player on cast iron contracts, Odemwingie does what Odemwingie wants, the more the club push, the more he digs his heels in. It's only mega rich clubs that don't feel the shock waves.
CantelloRocket 78
Saunders near the Foot of the table-
despite your predictably narrow-minded outlook, being 'successful' in life ain't all about how much dosh you have in the bank.
Odemwingie must've already made a fair few quid even before he came to the Baggies, so he should be blissfully happy, right?
Nope, someone like you wouldn't understand, but there's other factors necessary in being happy and a nice-to-know human being.
Unselfish, appreciating what you have, being modest, respectful and loyal-
P.O. could retire with another 50 mil. under his belt, but he'd still be restless, arrogant, and miserable.
He could've been a hero, but people will now remember him more as a spoilt brat.
Saunders Foot
You call him restless, arrogant and miserable on the strength of a couple of twitter rants and a supposed communication break down involving QPR (P.O 's words ,not mine) The truth is that you don't know him at all, but cos you've decided that's what he's like....well.....that must be what he's like. If I had the time, I would dig the post up where, after one of his interviews, you described him along the lines of, articulate, intelligent and happy-go-lucky....remember ? That doesn't mean I agree with his actions, but it don't make him king Herod either.
P.s money ain't my driving force, health is wealth.
We Only Need One Half!
Saunders, it was me that described him has intelligent and I stand by that on the strength of he can speak more languages than most, but, I'm sure Van Gogh (no, he wasn't a left back for Ajax) was also talented and intelligent, but he still had mental health issues!
Regarding CR78 not knowing him, he knows the same as everyone else, why you claiming you've got a hotline to Wolves dressing room now? because it doesn't stop you commenting on your players from what you read in the press and hear in the media, does it?
Jack ♣ Hat.
Saunders Foot,
You are another one who doesn't know what he is prattling about. 40k a week would be drastically reduced as he is the one who broke the contract. Put your head back where it was before and see if there is any light coming out of the darkness.

The View From Baggy♥Bottom
CR
I gave up on PO a long time ago. I hate to say "I told you so", but I did, several times.
"flawed character", "will spit his dummy out again sooner or later", "can't trust a word that leaves his lips".
It's all very sad really, but it will never be resolved now, so the sooner he leaves the club, the better for all concerned..
I can't see him playing for us again after this.
Get rid!!!!
Boing Boing.
Forever Albion
I have just about had enough of this guy, let him buy out his contract in the summer if that is what he can do but in the meantime just tell him to stay home until the end of the season, fine him the 2 weeks & everytime he tweets another 2 weeks but unfortunately we still have to pay him until it is all sorted out but that is the bullet we have to bite, mind you the more he tweets the less we have to pay. Surely his advisors must be bemused by this too & what is his missus thinking - no money!. Has any other Albion player in our history behaved like a spoilt brat so publically? If he played now it would mean disaster, he would be booed and probably affect the whole team. He has played his last game so we play the game with him now until we can see the back of him.
Hamlet
This is starting to become an embarrassment now - is anyone going to want to take Odemwingie on board with his attitude? I mean, he's a very good player but all the same...
Mboy
He's helped us greatly to stay in the Premiership for 3 seasons. I'm sure that another club would be prepared to accept the negatives that surround him as they would get a very good player who could generate millions of pounds should he help another club to Premiership survival.
Unfortunately, it looks like his time is up at the Albion - shame!

Mboy,
All they have to do to get this prized asset is,

Hamlet,
Whatever P.O.'s done in the past ( and I've stood behind both him and the rest of the team over the years ), his self-centred, arrogant attitude has been broadcast to the whole nation, and even abroad (Yurich said his outbursts are in the Russian papers, for example), so unless someone's extremely desperate, I'd imagine most clubs won't now touch him with a barge pole.
As someone mentioned on the previous thread, Romelu Lukaku is an extremely gifted player, whom Chelsea paid 18 million for, and he's currently scoring goals for fun at the Baggies-
and yet he never complains when he's on the bench, and he's always saying how much he loves being at The Hawthorns, you can see by the passion on his face, and the tireless work rate on the pitch, that he just loves the privilege of being a professional footballer.
A case of a youngster putting an 'old hand' to shame........
AndyH
Eveing mate,
top comments about Lukaku.....a proper young man who does seems to "get it". Got to admit i wish PO could just look at the way the he behaves and act accordingly
regards
AndyH
Go on JP tell £3 million
astleistheking
The club probably already knew he could do this and were waiting for him to do so.
What an absolute idiot he's made himself look. I wonder what is it that has made him hate us so much? it looks like it's got so personal in his little head that he can't let go.
What a petulant and silly fool.
Albion til I die!
Baggieboy Roy
Regarding this Peter Odenwingie saga, for the sake of our beloved West Bromwich Albion he must go! He has damaged our club enough end of. Good Bye Peter, its a shame because you could have been an Albion legend you have the ability but you just can't to get your head right! Good Bye! END OF STORY!!! KEEP THE FAITH!!
H.wednesburybaggie
Quickly off my head but how could he finance such a deal,his advisesors must be pulling their hair out, there is a saying that "you are what you eat" but with you Peter its coming out of the wrong end..
Do Lallytap
Will JP allow him to get away with what he wants ??
My guess is that he has already got a club lined up and this club will front the money and I don't think it will be far away from where he is holidaying at the moment.
I would demand a HUGE payment to break his contract, a price that is unprecedented in todays football and I mean HUGE with no negotiations

To think that I have defended this fool at the games as badly advised, all this has proved that PO should grow up and realised that these antics will only get him another 2 week fine and reduce his market value as a player as no team will want such a self-centred player to disrupt the changing room.
He also needs to remember where he came from does he think his stock would be high if he was still playing in Russia, he is where he is because of West Brom
As far as I am concerned he can rot at home, deprice him of all access to West Brom and keep his registration until he pays his contract out in cash

Let him use article 17, add a clause that if he signs for another club, they have to make up to the transfer fee that is proposed by ALBION.

I personally felt it was superb the way your club dealt with Odemwingies deadline day debacle to QPR. This will no doubt set a benchmark where players will in future avoid such a mess from reoccuring and the entire football league must admire your stance. Well done from a Wolves fan on that.......anyway, he obviously wants to go still and now hates your club and its fans.....Were shocking as we have 2 idiots in charge who know nothing about Football, just business brains. We urgently need a Striker who has pace and can score which Odemwingie can do. Therefore if your reading Odemwingie, come to the Wolves and score the much needed goals to keep us up. You will fit in well amongst others who dislike that part of sandwell and all will be forgotten of your ties with them if you keep us up. You can even score a hatrick against Blues soon and feel loved once more. We also pay silly wages so all should be well. Come season end you will no doubt be approached by Real Madrid or Barca and can enjoy £36m for a season just like Beckham does...... just a thought........ UTW

Check the history books Mr Wall Heath, we have taken it in turn to be Kings of the Black Country and although we are miles apart at the moment our time will surely come again. You will laugh I am sure but at 60 minutes of the game just a year ago I thought we were just as likely to win as you were. The next 30 minutes were almost fatal to us and we are still suffering but we will be back.

Jack,
your post's intelligent, serious, and yet funny, thanks for making me both nod my head, and laugh.
I've always enjoyed local rivalry, but it should be good natured-unfortunately the handful of obsessive, bitter wolves fans we get on here every season make me want to send 'em back by means of a Stoke defender's clearance up the pitch, although they'd probably need to wear a parachute.
If you have any mates, can your exchange 'em for the bunch we usually get, please.......?
wwfc69
I agree with you completely and, as you can imagine, there are also a few of your fans who populate the Wolves boards who are just as stupid.
Like yourself I love the banter and I get it from all sides (Even Walsall fans, of which I didn't think there were that many, oops here we go again!!) and I think that the Midlands has the best and funniest banter around, even if it hurts when your almost bottom of the Championship!

wwfc69 and Malvern.
As you've said, there will always be the idiots and they tend to bring out the worst in the rest of us. To me the only diffeence between a Baggie and a Wulfie is where you were born and who your dad supported.
Like you say Malvern we've taken it in turns to be the kings but more important we've both had more than our share of the bad times. The thing is we're still here supporting our clubs. We haven't gone over to the REAL DARK SIDE of "supporting" Man Ure.

Believe it or not, I sat in the pub before the season started and was having a chat with a few baggies fans and I made a comment about our squad....It was...get rid of Odinwinge he is trouble. My mates said no way and could only see part of the picture. I have been proved right, he is selfish and cares about one person and one person only.....himself. Get him out before he corrupts others around him. Bad apple.
Brummie roader Ryan
Getting bored of all this now.
We should have sold him to QPR for 2.5 million when we had the chance, that is a good amount of money for a 32 year old we could have also saved 40 grand a week.
I think Peace's stubbornness backfired this time.
boy from the REAL black country
Couldn't disagree more!
£2.5M now....but how much in the long run when future players with oversized egos decide to do an Odemwingie?
I think JP has shown that WBA are no mugs and can't be dictated to by idiots like PO who are under contract to the club because they chose to sign the contracts!
Cyril Randle
BRRyan. I think you have missed the whole point here Ryan. Had JP given in to PO then the floodgates would open for all troublemakers.
A contract should have some honour for both sides. PO only sees his side of any bargain. Well done JP I say !
Robin Brittain
Are you sure Ryan that QPR had the cash to pay for him ? . Have you seen their current debts and what happens when they are relegated. Liquidation or Administration. I am sure JP would have accepted QPR's offer if the cash had been on the table. I believe we tried to exchane him for Junior Hoillet but I suspect that Blackburn are still owed money by QPR.. It's a complicated business and sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture. To criticize JP is plain stupid.
James
This is the sort of behaviour that has helped to alienate the modern footballer from the average working class man and his family who often struggle to support their favourite team. These mercenaries, and that's what they are, don't try and kid yourselves that they have any feeling for the club. These mercenaries flaunt their obscene wealth and in my opinion treat football supporters with utter contempt. There is no excuse for it and it's totally indefensible. I'm not sure how the law allows you to deal with the Odemwingie situation, which is a disgraceful one, but one thing's for sure. JP must be regretting big time that he didn't do a deal with QPR and offload him in January. Surely he cannot now kick another ball for the Albion.

JP will sort this out in the best interest of the club.No doubt.IMO PO has been,and still is a superb player.I just feel he has not been played often enough by SC,or in his correct position.Sad the way things have turned out.
chris
I would think he is just using this as a way to engineer a move away,maybe to russia if their window is still open,or a loan move somewhere,we should get rid,even if we only get £2 million or so.At least we now know we are safe and there is absolutely no way back for him now.
Good riddance Peter we no longer need you!
COYB!
superted101
I understand everyones' anger. PO has hurt a lot of feelings and embarrassed quite a few people.
The way I see it. The club and JP made their point back in January i.e. the club will not be held to ransom. This saga has continued long enough.
I am not angry with PO, disappointed (not least because on his day he is a cracking player and was a major protagonist in our premier league survival 3 seasons ago) but not angry.
But, for those wanting to see him destroyed i.e. by holding onto his registration until the end of his contract (when he will be close to retirement) or demanding huge transfer fees... What's the point? If his contract is payed off on terms deemed acceptable by the club (reasonable terms i.e. not profiting hugely)... let him go.
I believe that acting in a vindictive and ruthless manner will hurt the club far more than letting him go now...
The old saying is "there is no smoke with out fire", well, PO is billowing smoke right now and whether there is anything burning or not, the club may be harmed by PO's continued association.

superted he as destroyed himself he will get no sympathy from me and i could not care what happens to him.

i fear for us now with no PO and the fridge going back to chelsea next season,Long to injury prone so cant rely on him, i think we should give Rosenberg a chance now till the end of the season see what he can do, because there is noway JP is going to fund the outlay we need to replace PO and the fridge.

Interesting point, remind me, just how many English players we are putting out in the first team? mind you, Foster, Ridgewell, Thomas (even though some wag has changed his wikipedia page to say he was born in Prague!) and Jones on their own could still probably give some lower league teams a run for their money!

Unfortunately there are no winners in all this, Odemwingie has damaged his reputation beyond repair and Albion will undoubtedly loose out financially. I’m torn with regards to what we should do, however I fully back the stance we’ve taken so far. You just can’t let players dictate like Odemwingie has tried to do otherwise where does it all end. I think we should continue to play hard ball with him, set an example to other players that you don’t mess with Albion or with Jeremy Peace.
Personally, as an Albion fan I feel let down as I have supported him even through his lean spells on the pitch, which sadly are getting more and more common. I don’t want to see him at the club beyond the end of this season, I don’t care where he goes so long as I don’t have to lay eyes on his ugly mug again. Players like Ben Foster, Romelu Lukaku and the rest are worth 100 Odemwingies. Could you just imagine Bomber, King Jeff et al behaving like this? These players will be remembered long after Odemwingie has hung up his boots.
Not fit to wear the shirt.

Regarding your booing on the other thread sorry my booing. I would never boo an Albion team player who didn't totally disrespect my beloved club and try to treat the people who pays his wages like we're idiots. Mr dorrans wants to leave but I wouldn't boo him unless he came out and said the things this prat has said. When people booed c brunt I was horrified really people ( the crowd ) did forget where we came from and the things we represent as financially were a small club. I was obviously there when they booed po and it was very obvious that they were not booing the team and feel it didn't really upset the team in any way. But I respect your views concerning this matter and see the sense in your views so fair play. I know your not on this page yet but sure you will be any time soon take care

Yeah I wasn't defending PO in any way but like I said I think Boo Mode is much easier for fans to slip into than to get out of. I think booing in any way directed at your own club saps the enthusiasm out of the other fans.
Anyway, all the best mate and remember it's just like smiling, it takes 17 muscles to cheer and 43 muscles to boo.

Peter, when are you going to stop acting like the kid, who has dropped his ice cream?
We wouldn't let you go to QPR, now get over it - your constant twitter patter is trivial at best, and this is becoming a real embarrassment to the club.
You have single handedly reduced your potential price in the summer (maybe that was your plan?) and I think you will be putting off plenty of clubs from looking at you - not sure what you can achieve by your actions - you will get a move!
My suggestion - take his phone off him and Peter, please GROW UP!

super ted and james I agree whole heartedly, the only thing that bothers me right now is, if or when he leaves, and with lukaku not on the scene, we have limited srike power, rosenburg yet to catch fire and long cant do it on his own, what gets me about JP is that this particular individual made it absolutely clear he wanted away, who would keep somebody in a team that didn't want to be there, therefore JP being the business man should have off loaded him rather than take the higher morale ground with the " no one messes with wba" or" tries to force my hand etc", that could have been 5 million in the bank for a striker next campaighn,,, sometimes these chairmen become like politicians -CRAP, thinking about how the media will perceive them as weak, stuff em think about the bigger picture and where we are know and where we want to be

Can you not see that this isn't about posturing or chest thumping on JP's part. It's purely business.
1. We get the market rate or above when we sell players. Remember Kamara, Davis, Koumas. We're not Man City and can't afford to have a bargain bucket.
2. We can't affford to allow greedy agents and players to manipulate a move whenever they want.
3. We can't afford to have unscrupulous managers at other clubs to unsettle our players to get them on the cheap.
If you think any of these points are unreasonable feel free to explain why.

There is a plus side to this. Things could have been worse if PO had started flapping a week before the start of next season.
As it is, the club will have been looking at replacements since all this lot started and even before that. There might already be a growing list of targets on our radar.

Oh please,
(There might already be a growing list of targets on our radar.) That side has been in place since before the great Dan Ashworth left for England duties mate. Richard Garlick will have kept the system updated.

Well done. After numerous Wolfies pointing out on your own site that you were spelling Allen wrong you've come over here and got it right.

Idiot. How dare you use Ronnie Allen's name to post such garbage.

Realist,
Deanosaurus rating for man management now stands at 0. When I said aim a foot behind the head when throwing a straight right, I didn't mean Ikeme should do the same when punching a practice board hanging on a wall. L☺Ls.
I thought we had problems with Odwhingy and here Doyler isn't giving it his best and wants out.
Blimey you are in a fix, mind you it isn't too bad in division one, you will get to win a game or two hopefully.

Boys & girls lets not get too steamed up about Peter's new actions? some of us (including myself) have tried to understand where his actions were coming from? He wants to leave for more dough & football to a footballer (some) is just a job! But it as got to the stage where i can no longer defend the the player! Clarkey & the board could have banished him & let him rot for the remainder but gave him a chance & so did some of our die hard supporters! Don;t think he's really thought this through? If some club is talking to him undercover & offering him the sweet talk deal then he'd better run & take the offer but Mr Odemwingie take note: Football is a man's game run by business men with No room for babies! So my fellow striped blue & white blood posee in the words of Ramses III "LET HIM RAVE SO MAN KNOW HIM MAD"!!

Carly, I think someone on here got close to the truth yesterday. His new lovers will pay his 'buy-out-fee' to Albion, let's guess at £1M say, then he leaves to join the other club on the cheap. And that fiddle could end up in a High Court ! This man has disgraced WBA in a way I can't think of an equal in my many years of being a Baggie.. This one is not nearly over yet.

Regarding Ikeme punching the tactics board fixed to the wall; He should have paid seven quid gone into wo1-Ves new antiques shop and belted Connors clip board.

This fool lives in a world of his very own, surely to god his position at my beloved club is now untenable, if he wears the shirt again it'll make me, other fans and probably the team players sick to the stomach, anyway you can JP, get rid asap

Why is this moron even still at the club yet alone been able to pull on our famous blue and white stripes, go! and never come back

Latest from the dark side: wo1-Ves have modernised the home changing room, a rubber crash mat has now been installed behind the tactics board.

The View From Baggy♥Bottom
How come, the only stories we get to comment on these days involve the negative fallout of the Peter Odemwingie saga????
Anyone would think that Albion were another Midlands crisis club. God knows, there's enough of them within spitting distance. We are the only good news club in the whole of the Midlands at the moment, apart perhaps for Walsall, so why are we not discussing our successes instead of our one and only disappointment?
Makes you wonder, don't it?
Boing Boing!!!!

I wrote on Sunday in response to the suggestion that this had happened on the pitch that that was clearly not true, and he must have punched something. This is what really scares me about the club - they tell stupid lies and it makes you wonder what else is not true.
Terrible when fans are treated like children mate. Deanosaures then comes out with this classic, I only wanted to protect the fans. Hogwash in my opinion.

Johnston's Left Foot
I think there will be a lot of changes next season and I can see the following leaving:
PO
Rosenburg
MAF
RL going back to Chelsea.
This will leave us with just Shane Long and Saido Berahino up front. I think its time for Albion to invest in more strikers
I have seen rumours linking us with Scott Sinclair and various foreign strikers.
Who would you (realistically) see at the club next year and who will be going?
Brummie roader Ryan
I hope we land a couple of good strikers not on loan though we can't penny pinch forever.
But I got a good feeling we will have good replacements and spend a bit of money this time

I agree totally with your thoughts and i think exciting times are ahead .

I think we'll be going mainly down the overseas route because at the level we're now at English players are out of our price range.
We've been linked with Ben Marshall of Leicester who is a wide right MF, more of a Beckham type with good delivery than a flying winger.
I wonder if Matt Smith of Oldham would be worth a gamble, he's big and looks more mobile than Chris Wood, he's also a local lad but on the downside he's 24 and maybe a bit old to develop although I think he came into the game late.
Carillo was also mentioned but as I don't follow European football I know nothing about him. Anybody else know anything?
Sinclair's wages could be a bit of a problem unless it's a loan and City help out although I think it would be a long queue to get him.
Personally I think it will be both interesting and exciting to see who we go after. Interesting because RG has big boots to fill.

PO if by some miracle u are bored and read this e&s thread, then please do us all a favour and either buy out your contract or keep your hold of your tongue for 2 more months, nod your head and leave out the back door in the summer. Your attitude is disgraceful, if I did what u do at your place of work I would lose my job, I would lose my car, my home and would be ruined as far as future employment what kind of reference would I get. People say let u rot in the reserves but, why should young, aspiring, future Albion players have to put up with your berligerence and negativity. We've had better times at the Albion without u and we will continue to do so when u leave. Anyone would think we were bottom of the conference and Barcelona were knocking at your door!
Wall Heath Baggie
Peter Odemwingie was bought for £ 2m and in his first season scored 15 goals that went a long way to keeping us in the Prem. The last two seasons for me he has been very average with sporadic bursts of brilliance here and there ( the Molineux Massacre for instance).
So for me even though he has blotted his copy book recently he has still been a very good VFM signing , so perhaps supporters should take this into account before taking the lad apart.

Wall Heath,
Agree with that mate, his rants shouldn't overshadow the good he has done for us. Somebody has just got to pay us for what he is worth, then he is theirs to get them out of a hole.

Guys & Gals don't gun me down but I reckon Rosenburg will come good.. If we stop booing , get behind him?
The Real Bully Hoo.
Trouble is the groaners are like guided missiles, once their sights are locked in on a target that's it.

Odemwingie will be forever remembered for his molinuex hat-trick. He's been a good signing, but at nearly 32 will not have much left as a Premiership striker. Albion have been right to not allow his petulance to get him his own way, but now is the time to let him go , with the best financial deal possible for the club.
Peter, I doubt you read this , but just in case; what do you think a prospective employer thinks of your behaviour and attitude ? You've been great to watch at times and frustrating at others; thanks for the memories.
