Player power backfired on Peter Odemwingie on transfer deadline day.
The West Brom striker travelled to London to try to force through a move to QPR – but the two clubs hadn’t agreed a fee and no deal was reached.
Albion chairman Jeremy Peace says Odemwingie acted "wholly unprofessionally".
Speaking to Sky Sports News, Odemwingie had been confident he was leaving the Midlands and even spoke about helping QPR stay up.
QPR added Tottenham duo Jermaine Jenas and Andros Townsend to their ranks, joining new record signing Christopher Samba.
Elsewhere, Stoke snapped up England goalkeeper Jack Butland from Birmingham.
Arsenal brought in Spain full-back Nacho Monreal.
Everton signed John Stones from Barnsley.
In the Championship,
Peterborough United say midfielder George Boyd’s move to Nottingham Forest fell through because of an "inconclusive eye test".
Forest boss Alex McLeish was keen to sign the 27-year-old but the move collapsed after an inconclusive vision test.
Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony was annoyed by the turn of events, he tweeted.
"He’s played 300 games and scored from the halfway line the other month, but Forest say he has an eyesight problem.
"The whole thing stinks."
