ODEMWINGIE Targets Top Four Finish

ODEMWINGIE Targets Top Four Finish

West Bromwich Albion striker Peter Odemwingie says fans shouldn't write off a top four tilt this season.<br /><br />Odemwingie laughs like everyone else when asked if West Brom can qualify for the Champions League this season.<br /><br />But then he remembers how people did the same when he joined French club Lille eight years ago and turned a similar fantasy into reality.<br /><br />The Nigeria striker, 31, told The Sun: &ldquo;At Lille nobody expected us to qualify for any European competition.<br /><br />&ldquo;We didn&rsquo;t even have any bonuses in our contracts for getting into the Champions League because it seemed pointless to write it in.<br /><br />&ldquo;But we shocked everyone by finishing second in the table behind Lyon to qualify.<br /><br />&ldquo;Lille are a properly established European club now but what they achieved then was amazing at the time, a real dream &mdash; and it shows that all things are possible in football.<br /><br />&ldquo;To be honest, I don&rsquo;t even know if there are Champions League bonuses in the West Brom contracts. We know it&rsquo;s unlikely we will be in the same position at the end of the season but I always have the experience at Lille in the back of my mind.&rdquo;<br /><br />-<b>Thanks to Tribalfootball.com</b><br />
