Bye Bye Peter Osaze Odemwingie

The moment most of Lokomotiv fans have been waiting for has finally arrived!! It's all but official. Odemwingie is no longer a Lokomotiv player. According to the latest and reliable sources, Peter Osaze Odemwingie, 29, signed a three year contract with Premier League "powerhouse" West Bromwich Albion. According to the same sources, the paperwork between the two clubs and the issue of the work permit are holding out the move from being made official. The transfer fee involved is thought to be 2.5million sterlings, that is somewhere near 3 million euros.

Although as already said the move is yet to be official, in an interview published on http://www.lokomotiv.info/, Peter Odemwingie confirmed that he was in England to sign a contract with West Brom and undergo a medical test. The report continues by stating that the "Super Eagle" signed a three year deal and will be unveiled by The Hawthorns later this week. By joining West Brom, Peter Odemwingie will be realising his and our dream -as anyone know his dream has been always to play in the English Premiership while on the other hand in the last year or so ours has been always to see him out of Lokomotiv.

Peter Osaze Odemwingie joined Lokomotiv exactly 3 years ago and went up to make 75 league appearances with a return of 21 goals. Although his year and a half at Lokomotiv were a success, his last year and a half were a constant disappointment and eventually ended by being hated by much of the home crowd. The worst point of his red-greenish career was for sure some 2 months ago when he was put on sale by his own fans.

Prior to joining Lokomotiv, Peter Odemwingie played for KAMAZ, Bendel Insurance, Pandurii Târgu Jiu, La Louvière and Lille. He debuted for the Super Eagles back in 2004 and to date is three matches short from the 50-cap milestone.

Although for my reasons I ended up lacking respect towards Peter, still I would like to thank him for his service he gave to Lokomotiv. Although we fans started to dislike him when he declared that he derserves better than turning out for Lokomotiv, no one can deny that Peter Odemwingie was outstanding in his first year and a half or so at the club. Pity that it couldn't last longer than that. Anyways, all the best in your new adventure at West Brom!!
