This anelka stuff is unbelievable

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...nd-could-retire-from-football-completely.html

Nicolas Anelka leaves West Bromwich Albion and could retire from football completely

Nicolas Anelka cleared out his locker at West Bromwich Albion's training ground on Thursday and declared he is leaving the Hawthorns, less than two months after signing as a free agent.

Telegraph Sport understands the former Arsenal and Chelsea forward has been considering his future for days, after making his debut against Southampton on Saturday, and there are claims he could even now retire from the game completely.

Albion head coach Steve Clarke and technical director Richard Garlick have both attempted to persuade the former France international to change his mind but Anelka did not train on Thursday and subsequently walked out of the club.

It is believed Anelka may have experienced a recent tragedy in his personal life and talks to find an amicable solution with the club have so far failed. There is no suggestion of a bust-up.

This surprise development is the latest episode in Anelka's nomadic career, which has been blighted by persistent accusations regarding his attitude and temperament, earning him the nickname 'Le Sulk'.

Last week Clarke had defended the 34-year-old, claiming he did not deserve his unwanted reputation and insisting he will prove a huge success this season.

Anelka signed a one-year contract in July after his deal expired at Juventus and produced a number of encouraging performances in pre-season.

But now Albion are facing the prospect of losing Anelka, just one game into the Premier League season, unless the impasse can be resolved.

Sky Italia reporter Gianluca Di Marzio, quickly becoming one of the stars of the current transfer window, thanks to his contacts across the globe and willingness to share his information, reports Chelsea have made an offer to Samuel Eto’o.

Just like Willian, who appears to be close to joining Chelsea despite passing a medical at Spurs, Eto’o looks set to be part of the Anzhi clear out as the Russian side clear their mammoth wage bill.

Whilst the English press suggest Chelsea are still chasing Wayne Rooney, a move for Eto’o makes a lot more sense in terms of how much simpler it could be to pull off and the fact that the Cameroon striker played under Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan.

In recent weeks, Eto’o has spoken of his admiration for Mourinho and how he would be eager to work with “The Special One” again.

Di Marzio claims Chelsea have offered personal terms of 5 million euros per season to Eto’o with the former Barcelona hitman expected to leave Anzhi in this transfer window.

Inter Milan are also tracking developments and are preparing a four million euro per season offer over a two-year deal which suggests the Chelsea deal is just for one season

How about a 50mil bid then Moyes, eh? That's good for Everton's future.
 
I'm really surprised Moyes hasn't gone for more players yet

United's squad isn't good enough (SAF and RVP won them the title last year) for the title (between City and Cheat$ki for me), and proven not good enough for Europe.

Moyes needs a lot of players to be a success there

I don't agree with that. The worst thing he could have done is come in and shaken everything up. He will be getting a lot of pointers from Fergie in the boardroom and will be looking for longeivity and continuity. There is no need for him to stamp his mark on the club and that is exactly why he was appointed ahead of a more glamorous but also more self important manager like Mourinho etc.
 
I would be gutted if the scum signed Guaita, he is one of the best keepers in the world IMO. Doesn't get much recognition over here because he plays in Spain and has been behind players like Casillas, Valdes and Reina for most of his career at international level.

I come from Norwich, check out their forums sometimes. Unbelievably their fans (a high proportion of them) were really negative towards Hughton's last year, accusing him of dour tactics, bad subs and everything else moany fans say.

He took them to 11th FFS!!!!! That's better than Lambert did.
 
Some itk just said we're looking at possibly getting this guy:

[video=youtube;O0rJriZnVFo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0rJriZnVFo[/video]

And I thought Bale went to ground easily... He's not the finished article obviously but at age 18 he doesn't have to be.

He's played 18 times for Betis in La Liga, 13 of those as a sub.

aaaaand wrong thread
