Harry Redknapp says Peter Odemwingie made 'a mistake'

QPR manager Harry Redknapp says Peter Odemwingie's decision to drive to Loftus Road despite not having a move sanctioned by West Brom was "a mistake" by the striker.

Redknapp tells BBC Sport's Richard Conway that "wires got crossed" between the two clubs after the Nigeria international turned up in London to finalise a transfer despite a fee not having been agreed.

QPR did complete the club record signing of Christopher Samba as well as the loan signings of Jermaine Jenas and Andros Townsend from Tottenham, adding they also missed out on signing Stoke striker Peter Crouch.
