Ellington is quoted as saying: "I feel have been forced into this position to be honest. I already feel that they have set my price too high, they signed me when I was in top form, and yet despite the fact I have not been playing - the chairman deems my value to have gone up.
"On the one hand I have the manager who does not consider me good enough to start, but then the chairman feels my value has gone up - I just don't see how that can be the case.
"I feel for the sake of me and my family that I need to move on, but I want to emphasise this has nothing to do with money - hence why I have put the request in and means I waive my rights to certain things.
"The fans have been great and I would like to thank them for their support, but as I said I owe it to myself to move on as I don't see any sort of future for myself at West Brom.
"As long as somebody believes in me, that is the main thing and I already know Paul Jewell is one of those people. I think I have played 90 minutes less than 15 times in the past two years or so, and that isn't good enough.
"When you are signed for £3million, you expect to be given a real chance - but I just don't feel as if I have ever had that. I am just hoping I will get the chance to make the fresh start my career needs."
Meanwhile the club are now being linked with Marlon Harewood of West Ham and Chinedu Ogbuke.
A rumoured signing of 17 year old Pole Tomasz Kupisz from KS Piaseczno, but the club has yet to confirm this. Kuspisz's arrival follows the signing of Tomasz Cwyka in the summer, also a 17 year old Pole. It would seem that Latics boss Paul Jewell has a thing for cheap migrant labour.
On the outgoing front, David Wright is being linked with a £200,000 move to Ipswich Town. The right full back wants more first team action, and despite a good run in the first team this season he is expected to leave by the end of the week.
