Peter Odemwingie says he was given the go-ahead by West Brom to travel to QPR on deadline day to discuss a move with the London club.
West Brom have accused the 31-year-old striker of acting in a "wholly unprofessional" manner by driving to talk terms with Rangers despite no deal having being agreed between the clubs.
But the Nigerian international claims that he had an understanding with Baggies technical director Dan Ashworth that he could drive to London with a view to the clubs reaching an agreement.
"They didn't give me written permission but when you are gentlemen you understand each other easily," said Odemwingie.
"I had to be in training that morning but when that was done I asked if I could go as I had to pack and start driving. I got the go-ahead from him as far as I understand so I went round and said goodbye to everyone and thank you. In my opinion everything was done right.
"I knew that it took two hours to drive to London and I had to be there because we were 90% there and then the deal didn't happen."
