Newcastle Transfers: 5 Strikers Alan Pardew Still Needs To Sign

4. Peter Odemwingie

Peter Odemwingie will almost certainly be leaving West Brom before the transfer window slams shut on Thursday after being handed a £70,000 club fine for posting a series of controversial comments on his personal Twitter account over the weekend, slamming the Baggies' transfer policies.* He claims a move to Newcastle United was scuppered by his club after being linked with a £3 million move to the North East recently.** He is wanted by Queens Park Rangers however, who have had an initial bid rejected for the striker. Newcastle manager Alan Pardew will have to act fast if he is to avoid losing yet another striker to his relegation rivals. Source(s): * Telegraph, ** Sky Tyne & Wear
