Why would west brom want to sell this fella - he's decent isn't he? Is he not getting much game time or something?
Can be very good, but I'm not sure he's what we need. Harry has just said that he's after him and is also confident of getting Jake Livermore, who would halp Derry out in the holding position imo.
i'm right in thinking he's a striker though, no? We certainly need some help in that area. Personally i'm very worried about this Nelsen hole thats going to be left at the mo. He had another cracker today.
With players actually playing alright now, the back four today especially, I think we may have enough already to stay up, so unless we get someone really worth having and will make a difference I am happy to stick by what we have
Sorry, this defence needs depth, a centre back and a good utility defender are needed to cover all eventualities. A passing midfielder and striker should be enough to turn us into a team that can actually win matches...
Our central defense is only good enough when it has so much support from midfield as today. To win games we will need to throw more people forward and then we will need a much faster good CB to keep us solid at the back.
lukaku is a great player and someone I wanted on loan, he is keeping PO out of the team. PO isn't my first choice to sign Hughes better than what we have now.
exactly but we seemed to be linked with 73 mid fielders when even Caitlin can't get a single minute of game time.
please log in to view this image West Brom today rejected a bid of around £2m from QPR for striker Peter Odemwingie â the second time in a week they have been forced to knock back Harry Redknapp. Rangers made their unsuccessful bid for 31-year-old Odemwingie just days after a £5m offer for defender Jonas Olsson was also rebuffed by the Baggies. QPR are expected to return with an improved offer after boss Redknapp confirmed his interest in the Nigeria international yesterday. The bid is certain to anger Albion, who have previously made it clear they have no plans to sell senior players this month other than midfielder Graham Dorrans, who is keen to move on. Boss Steve Clarke said: âI said in the previous press conference none of our players are for sale, with the exception of Graham Dorrans, who weâve spoken about many times. âPeterâs not for sale.â http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/west-bromwich-albion-fc/2013/01/13/baggies-knock-back-qprs-bid-for-peter-odemwingie/?
Any dealings with WBA will not happen till after the replay. Livermore will sign on loan tomorrow tho.. ITK ....No, just guessing
""""""" TOUCHE: NEWCASTLE TO HIJACK QPR BID FOR WEST BROM STRIKER Ladbrokes: 12 January 2013 Reproduced with permission from Ladbrokes.com More Sharing ServicesShare | Share on facebookShare on myspaceShare on googleShare on twitter Newcastle have joined QPR in pursuit of West Brom's Nigerian striker Peter Odemwingie, who is thought to be keen on a move away from the Hawthorns. The Magpies remain at long-odds 11/2 shots for relegation this season despite suffering seven defeats in their last 10 Premier League matches and recently lost Senegalese goal-getter Demba Ba for a fraction of the fee he should have commanded. This potential move is a bit of an irony as QPR hijacked Newcastle's agreed deal for French international Loic Remy late last night, so this could be the payback. Article continues below... Odemwingie has already proved himself at Premier League level, having notched 29 goals in 66 league starts for the Baggies and his pace in the final third could prove a valuable asset in Newcastle's bid to beat the drop. At 31, he should be available for less than £5m and is equally capable of playing out wide in a three-pronged attack, meaning Alan Pardew could revert to the same system that brought the best out of Papiss Cisse in the second half of the previous campaign. West Brom chief Steve Clarke has stated that Graeme Dorrans is the only member of his first team squad available to move on in the current transfer window, though with Romelu Lukaku pulling up trees and Shane Long waiting in the wings, a good enough offer would surely change this standpoint. Odemwingie is no doubt one of the club's top earners and, with the form of others rendering his once guaranteed first team starting berth a thing of the past, it's hard to imagine West Brom being desperate to keep him. The R's reportedly had a £2m offer for the man capped 55 times by Nigeria knocked back last week, but with Harry Redknapp's men more likely to fall through the Premier League trap door than Newcastle – who are also the more likely to offer a more appealing financial package – Odemwingie would surely prefer the switch to Tyneside should the Toon stump up the cash.

Well if he prefers to follow the money, we don't want the money grabber - Toon can have him.
I hope the get him, hes too old and strikers often fall apart once they hit their 30s, especially ones who rely on pace.
I disagree on this one, I think Odemwingie could do a job for us until the end of the season, obviously we would need another but he would take some of the burden off of Adel. Strikers often come into their own later in their career as they stop relying on pace but more on movement and positioning.
