Odemwingie swap for Kenwyne Jones!

Sat Jan 25, 2014 12:33 am

Stoke City are closing in on a shock move for Cardiff striker Peter Odemwingie.

Mark Hughes wants to bolster his forward line this weekend and has identified the Nigerian as a target.

The move could also see Kenwyne Jones go in the opposite direction as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seeks to add more firepower to their bid to avoid relegation from the Barclays Premier League.

Odemwingie, 32, joined Cardiff from West Brom back in September in a deal worth £2.25million, but he has managed just two goals in 15 appearances for the Bluebirds.

Jones, 29, is in his fourth season with Stoke and has a good return of five goals in 10 appearances this season.

It's all a bit strange, unless we're giving Stoke cash as well. :?

Give him away for free if we could he's completely useless and a waste of a paycheck, lazy and uninterested

Hear hear! Take him back to the shop where he was bought and demand our money back. He doesn't do what it said on the tin!

The crime here is that Odemwingie is still going to get Premier League football. The guy doesn't deserve it. Horrible signing.

Seems strange to me. Jones still has a year or two in him an prob grab a goal or two for us whether or mot not he is an ole player who knows

I'd definitely let this happen. Unfortulently, Odemwingie is just a waste of money. :(

To put it kindly, Odem hasn't fitted in to our system and at times he's looked lost. Maybe we can make more use of Kenwyne Jones, especially if we sign Zaha.

Surely Stoke aren't this stupid.

I'm putting it down to paper talk anyway, these 'swap' deals that keep getting written up rarely come to anything and I tend to ignore them.

By refusing to play for them and being heavily fined is surely the end for Kenwyne at Stoke.

I don't disagree that it's a possibility that we may sign Kenwyne but I just don't think it will be a straight swap deal for Odem. That's what I'm referring to in

You are right there is no going back for him at Stoke but I'd even think they would be silly to consider a swap + fee for him due to how poor he has been for us thus far.

Got to be a joke??

Jones is or was a quality target man once upon a time. Man utd wanted him.

I'd be shocked if it happens tbh

From Stoke City facebook page

Looks like the deal for Kenwyne Jones to Cardiff In a swap for Odemwingie is complete as Kenwyne Jones is here clearing out his locker.
Also Peter odemwingie has been at Claytonwood most of the morning (Marc)

:lol: :wave: :lol:

I would love for this to be right. Odem has been one of my biggest disappointments this year, because he always excited me when he was at WBA.

Someone on Stoke Forum stating that Odemwingie is currently at their training ground. It comes from a couple of sources.

I'd definitely make that swap! Good deal for us if true!

He hasn't fitted in, cos he is lost, that's why he keeps running found in circles instead Of pawing all the time!

I'm only surprised that with his constant running around in circles, that he hasn't dug a fecking big hole in our pitch!

For somebody who's 32 years old and a full Nigerian international, I'm shocked that he still doesn't know the offside rule! :D :wave:

I would rather have Jermaine Pennant than Jones.

Do they actually know he's there or is he just waiting in the car park listen to talksport. :lol:

It looks like Kenwyne Jones is poised to go to Cardiff as part of the deal to take Peter Odemwingie to Stoke. #scfc #cardiffcity

Didn't Mark Hughes want Odemwingie at QPR?

Just saw this on the BBC Website

Some more transfer news for you - Peter Odemwingie is on the verge of signing for Stoke City from Cardiff.

Well, he's on the way anyway...

BBC Sport understands that Odemwingie has already completed his medical and is waiting for the club to confirm the transfer.
