Just been signed by West Brom.
Good luck to him - but how the fuck have we ended up a Championship club when West Brom are mid-table Premier buying players like Anelka?
Thanks Owen for Ngog, Sordell, Mills, Ream, Mears....
Anyway -
French striker Nicolas Anelka has joined West Brom on a one-year deal.
The 34-year-old, who has already played in the Premier League for five different teams, spent the latter half of last season at Juventus after leaving Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua.
Anelka won Premier League titles with Arsenal and Chelsea and, in 2000, the Champions League with Real Madrid.
He has scored more than 100 league goals in England and won the Golden Boot in 2008-09 while at Chelsea.
"We are missing a bit of firepower from last year, and to kick off with the signing of Nicolas at the start of the summer is a great boost for everyone at the club," said manager Steve Clarke.
"The more quality players you can bring to the club the better, and no-one can question Nicolas' quality."
Anelka is the first signing of the summer for West Brom, who will have the option of extending his contract for another season.
