Peter Odemwingie has put himself in a real tricky situation.
As the deadline clock ticks down, the West Brom striker has driven down to QPR to try and force a move through to the club himself.
Except it hit one major hitch, West Brom had not given him permission to do so, and subsequently QPR could not allow him into their premises to negotiate, as it would break Premier League rules.
So while Odemwingie begs and pleads with his club and QPR over the phone for the final 20 minutes, if he continues to be unsuccessful he faces a long unhappy drive back up north to West Bromwich.
The situation clearly amused or at least bemused Arsenal star Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who joked on Twitter:
Does Odemwingie need a place to stay tonight?

We hope Oxlade-Chamberlain is watching, and learning, and realising that loyalty gets you everywhere, and the disloyalty Odemwingie is showing, clearly gets you nowhere.
What do you think of Odemwingie's actions?
