The thing is we have some other very good players but none of them are spoken about as much as Odemwingie every window, he has agents who are sharks and they just constantly tout him about, as i said previous if he didnt like the way they do things, he is a grown man and he can stand upto them. I dont think it will affect Olsson, Long, Mulumbu, etc because i would imagine they dont feel Pete has covered himself in glory. I also think those players have perhaps playing ambitions which Odemwingie clearly hasnt.
If a player goes to a bigger and better club then good luck to them, thats the football chain but for people like Odemwingie to say what he has, instead of the truth all to force a move to bloody QPR then it shows what a pathetic morally corrupt mercenary is.
I dont think it shows a lack of ambition from our side, we let a good, not great player go, i think the first season we saw the best of him, i would of liked him to stay but dont think it will be a disaster if he doesnt, we are not a one man team. If players choose moving to QPR as a career move (not money) then i would seriously have a look at there ambitions, Olsson could of done the same two weeks ago if QPR were such a great club but didnt see him doing that.
As previous posts would state i dont usually agree with booing, especially those giving it everything they have even if they are not good enough in poor form but i hope if Odemwingie does stay his every touch is booed and jeered and every time his name is read out he gots dogs load of abuse, i dont think for a minute it would affect the other players, they know full well that he doesnt want to be here and the methods he has gone to and what the fans reaction would be, players would respond if players / team mates are unfairly booed (which we have been guilty of) they look out for their own, Odemwingie has made it clear he isnt one of their own.
If he has the nerve to come out if he is forced to stay and say he loves the club, etc it would make me pity him even more, he must think football fans are naive and idiots we are not. I also hope if he comes back with another team, (prob wont be QPR, will of forced through his 'dream' move to Stoke in the summer or something) that our fans not only give him loads of abuse but also the players, likes of Olsson, get in his ear, tell him he is s**t, ask him what he has won, why no big club has ever wanted him, etc really get in his head because he seems such a mentally fragile person it would put him off his game. I couldnt care less about if it upset him, by the way he has spoke in his statement, he has treated us fans as mugs by the way he has gone about things and expecting us to believe his reasons instead of telling the truth so i would treat him like a mug.
No player in Albion history has wound me up as this idiot. I would love him to read this forum and let him know what fans think of him, and so he knows he could of left with his head held high but the way he has gone about it means to me i will always look at him as a mercenary scumbag, rather than the bloke who played a part in us being the best team of my time watching Albion, his parting shot has ensured he will be remembered for that.
