MIND-BOGGLING

We've today signed Peter Odemwingie - a 32 year-old who's played little football in the last year and had just one year left on his contract - for £2.5m.

Can someone please explain to me why we've forked out so much just eight months after paying £600,000 for young Fraizer Campbell?

Sure, Fraizer was known for his injuries at the time, but there was still the potential of him sorting such issues out and becoming a goalscorer who could provide the club with a profit should he move on in the future. Odemwingie can't do that at 32.

I think Odemwingie's a fantastic player, but am bemused as to why West Brom were looking for so much and, more importantly, why City were willing to go through with the deal.

A better question to ask might be - how the hell did we manage to get Fraizer Campbell for only £600k in January?

A steal!

Fraizer was also in the last year of his contract, the same as Odemwingie. So how and why are City willing to pay so much for Odemwingie in the same situation? Very odd.

Proven premiership player.
