What annoys me is the welcome we gave him was better than that given to any player in our history.
At the end of that season he had scored 15 goals and asked for a better contract.Fair enough,i don't begrudge him that,no one has scored that many goals for us in the prem.
So he signs another contract,4 years was it,then towards the end of that season he starts becoming disinterested again and there were rumours,and i say only rumours of our players not getting on with him and a dust up with SC.
Now the window has shut and he knows he is stuck here until at least January,he has said he wanted to move all along,which proves that there was unrest,but say's it was because he didn't know if he could perform at this level,which i think is rubbish.He wants more money,he might as well say it.
Now,i think he will put a shift in so as to sell himself to another club,so be prepared for more of this in January or next summer.
Personally,if he is on form i would play him,but i would search out a replacement for him the sooner the better.
This guy is one bad egg.
Good Albion player yes,Albion hero,never.
I feel sorry for people like Brunt and Long who work hard for the team and have never asked for a move,and yet get continually picked on by some of our fans,while Mr Odemwingie can't be talked about.
