Odense hit back at West Brom over Djemba-Djemba rejection

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Thu, 07/29/2010 - 10:36

Odense have hit out at West Bromwich Albion for pulling out of talks for Eric Djemba-Djemba.

Djemba-Djemba was allowed by his club to fly to England to hold talks with Albion boss Roberto Di Matteo and he watched Tuesday's friendly at Doncaster.

But Albion found a problem with Djemba-Djemba's knee when he underwent a medical.

Odense director Kim Brink, in a statement, said: "West Brom have confirmed to us that there was a problem with the medical and wanted a lower price.

"I don't understand this. I want to confirm that Eric has no injuries whatsoever. Yes, he was injured during the spring but he's ready now.

"There are no problems so I think it is a poor explanation by West Brom to get a better price.

"People can come and say whatever they want to get a better price but if they really wanted Eric, they would pay what we agreed.

"I have experienced a lot in football and most things don't surprise me but this has surprised me because we were really close (to a deal)."
