Peter Odemwingie has revealed that he was ready to part with his own money last January to make the move to Queens Park Rangers, which was botched at the last minute.
The winger drove from Birmingham only to be blocked at the gate as both clubs had not reached an agreement on his transfer turning him into a pariah of sorts at the Hawthorns.

Who's the greatest? Enyeama v Rufai
On June 12, 2002, football fans at the Nagai Stadium were taken aback
they watched in disbelief as a relatively unknown 19-year-old
goalkeeper made a series of mind-blowing saves against the Three Lions
of England. Little did they know, this young man was announcing his
arrival as a net-minder extraordinaire. Vincent Enyeama's brilliant save
from a lightening goal-bound Paul Scholes missile even drew applause
from David Seaman in the opposing goal.
While in service, Peter Rufai, fondly called ‘Dodo Mayana’, was the
hero for young, upcoming Nigerian prospects including his successor.
Enyeama even took things a step further, emulating his hero's hair cut
which many believed was the untold secret of his mind-blowing heroics in
between the goal post.

The England international has been nominated for the honour alongside
fellow Premier League stars Robin van Persie, Eden Hazard, Juan Mata,
Luis Suarez and Gareth Bale, with the winner due to be announced on

Cristiano Ronaldo ruled out of Madrid derby
Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo will not play in Saturday's derby clash with Atletico due to a minor leg injury picked up in Wednesday's match against Borussia Dortmund, the Champions League semi-finalists have revealed.
Reports had circulated across Spain that the Portuguese star would not feature for los Blancos against their city rivals and assistant coach Aitor Karanka confirmed his absence.
"Cristiano Ronaldo will not be in the squad for tomorrow," he stated at a press conference on Friday.
"With the exception of Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcelo and [Alvaro] Arbeloa, the rest are well and tomorrow our best team will go out to win."
Karanka went on to say that every member of the capital club's squad must give their all against Diego Simeone's side as they look warm up for their Champions League clash with Dortmund on Tuesday.
"Tomorrow we have to be at 120 per cent and go out with the maximum level of intensity," he continued.
"There are still big games left and the team is going to be at that level. We have to go out tomorrow with a winning mentality and increase the points lead [over Atleti].
"The best way to present yourself for Tuesday at the Bernabeu is winning. It's the best way to get motivated."http://posts.fanbox.com/ddlv5
