Peter Odemwingie to West Brom
By: Ethan Dean-Richards | August 18th, 2010
G-G-GET THOSE DOGS OFF ME! West Bromwich Albion are close to signing Peter Odemwingie from Lokomotiv Moscow. The 29 year-old has agreed personal terms with the club and only a work-permit now needs to be granted before the deal can go through.
Odemwingie is a Nigerian international who can play out wide or up-front.
Roberto Di Matteo, West Brom manager, explained “We are still sorting out his visa so he’s not here yet. Hopefully he’ll join us ASAP. That will give the players a lift.”
Di Matteo added: “He’s got a great CV and he’s a good player. We need a few new faces and it lifts everyone when you see a player like him coming in. I’m pleased he is joining us because I’m sure he will be able to help us. He has got great pace. He is two-footed and has good experience at a very high level. He’s played as a striker and a winger in his career.”

Did you like that – dry, boring West Brom news? No? Well perhaps you should spend some time clickity-click-clicking on EVERY post on The West Brom Blog, right now. Why is The Blog being like this all of a sudden? Because it’s a junkie: it needs your hits to reach 10,000 hits for the month of August. But rather than simply asking you nicely, It’s decided to blackmail you into giving them by showing you what the world would be like without It. (The Blog was quite proud of this plan)
You will be rewarded with a vicious – very West Brom Blog – post tomorrow aimed at a yet to be decided player. Choose who, here:

Today’s point of hate goes to the reader: You don’t want to keep coming back, but you feel compelled to. 10-7?????

I think I’m being funny, but I’m not.

Others, less in love with themselves, would have talked about what a good signing Odemwingie might be.
-
Good night and good luck.

My vote went to the readership

Wanna guess where my vote went?

Ethan, i love that you are winning.
-
About the only thing a West Brom fan will win this season.
-
Bad-Um-Tisch!
-
Unless I win the lottery – fingers crossed.
-
Haha, fantastic stuff. You have to promise you’ll give match reports in the style of your posts—I can’t imagine the Blog would allow any other way.
-
I’m looking forward to seeing how the hateful post about me comes out, actually.
-
Will there be a way to listen to this in the US? I’m too lazy to look.
-
Nevermind, damn you, I looked myself.
-
Can you listen to it then? I’ve already accepted the offer.
-
I’ll describe my voice for you – monotone, teenage boy/man – just in case you don’t get to listen in. Haha.
-
I think I can, if not live at least after they post it.
A real celebrity.
-
Living the dream.
Or is that ‘living in a dream’?
-
I think it’s more ‘living in a basement room watching the real world flow by through a tiny window as the walls gradually close in’.
The Blog should keep an eye on Ethan.
-
It might be that.
The Blog looks out for no-one.
-
It’s just that I think the pressure is getting to him. The symptoms are undeniable: gentle rocking motion, fitful mumbling, one eye permanently squinted and operated by a jittery eyelid.
(I don’t want to throw accusations around but, what with the fixture list, the expectations and the megalomania…I can swear I saw him talking to Scudamore and Mawhinney late one night. Et tu Brute? *wink* *wink*)
-
The symptoms you describe are nothing new; in fact, I’ve mellowed.
That meeting with Scudamore was a business matter, nothing to do with football (I can’t say too much, but if you haven’t heard of water-resistant ink pens, you will have in 6 months!)
-
Wanted to think of a more obscure invention, but it’s late. The comic genius still shines through though, right?
-
…like light through a sheet of paper drenched in black waterproof ink.
