back to the subject :
Similarities??? oh yes.
Harry Redknap had this to say,
Redknapp, who suggested a proposed loan deal of a player from QPR to West Brom was the reason for the move breaking down, explained the day's events from his perspective.
"It looked as though the deal was going to happen," he said. "We had got a price off West Brom, the kid himself thought it was all on and obviously so did his advisors. So it wasn't out of order for him to jump in his car and head to London.
"Peter just wanted to make sure he was in the London area so the deal could go through before that deadline.
"It would have looked even worse if it had fallen through because he hadn't got here in time."
He added: "The one thing I think Peter did wrong in all this was to actually drive to the ground. If he'd parked down the road, no one would have been any the wiser and - as disappointing as it would still have been for all sides - no harm done."
Steve Clarke's view,
http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/ feb/01/peter-odemwingie-qpr-steve-clarke
"Steve Clarke has described Peter Odemwingie's decision to drive to Queens Park Rangers on transfer deadline day as "total lunacy" and said the West Bromwich Albion forward was never granted permission to speak to the London club."
Contradictory statements. Further in the article is this snippet of deja vu,
"Clarke admitted there was a point on Thursday when Albion were close to reaching an agreement with QPR, only for the deal to collapse when Junior Hoilett made it clear that he was not interested in moving to The Hawthorns on loan."
Once again,West Brom pulling the plug on a deal when they are unsuccessful themselves.
