O/T Anelka retires

West Brom striker Nicolas Anelka has walked out of training and informed staff he is retiring from football, Sky sources understand.

Anelka only joined the club over the summer from Chinese sider Shanghai Shenhua and looked impressive during pre-season, scoring seven goals.

But he looked laboured in Saturday's 1-0 home defeat to Southampton and appears to have decided to call time on his career, although the club are yet to confirm the news.

Instead, they have released a brief statement on their official website merely confirming he will miss Saturday's game with Everton.

"West Bromwich Albion can confirm that Nicolas Anelka will not be involved in Saturday's game at Everton," it read.

"The club have excused the striker from club duty on compassionate grounds."

Re: Anelka retires

Just seen it in the transfer rumour section.

Mods please lock / delete. Thank you.
 
The world weeps. One of the most unlikeable footballers ever to play. But curiously none of his team mates had a bad word to say about him and the French team mutinied when their manager had a go at him.
 
the dangers of Sky being first but not right.

His agent (brother?) has died. He's on compassionate leave.
 
Not sure why but he was always one of my favourite players.. Didn't show it enough and didn't have a bad career overall but he had pace, could finish, good with both feet, could head and a decent touch.. Should have been so much better.. Always reminds me a little of Stan Collymore in so much that he had it all but never really settled and go on and be world class..
