The striker has barely featured for the
Baggies since attempting to force a move to QPR in January, and has hit out at
the club again following a similar incident on Monday
West Brom forward Peter Odemwingie has hinted
in another Twitter outburst that he is exploring the possibility of buying
himself out of his Baggies contract.
The 31-year-old has endured a fractious
relationship with the club after attempting to force through a move to QPR on
the final day of the January transfer window, only to be told he didn't have
the Baggies' permission to commence talks.
Odemwingie claimed on Monday that West Brom
are "trying to ruin my career" after being mainly named as a
substitute of late, and continued his Twitter rant on Tuesday despite the club
confirming they were dealing with the earlier incident internally.
"I see a free player," Odemwingie
tweeted. "A player who buys out his contract soon. Or a retired player.
Does he looks like he cares much ? They made him not to."
Odemwingie also suggested that his infamous
failing attempt at forcing through a move to the Rs was not entirely his fault,
and that West Brom should accept a share of the blame.
He continued. "A simple phone call to
return back would have been enough for me to return and deal only with laughs
about saying bye to teammates.
"Drove two hours to London. Spent hours
there to drive back alone and arrive home 3am and still turn up at the training
in the morning.
"Glad I respectfully thanked everyone
before leaving. All could be simply avoided by clubs statement saying: it was a
miscommunication.
"Instead I humbly took the blame on me
and promised to comply with club rules. Manager says lets pls move on and
forget. Yet I am not playing."
Odemwingie has 15 months remaining on his
contract at the Hawthorns and, under article 17 of Fifa transfer regulations,
will be able to pay a compensation figure - determined by wages and his
transfer fee - to West Brom as he is over the age of 28.
