[Kahnee]

They should hold out for £55m + Chech, Drogba, Lampard and Terry

"erm, the bloke who owns you has f***ing billions. add another ten mill and maybe we'll talk".

 

love it when clubs hold chelsea to ransom.

[growler]

me too. If they get big money for anelka, that means they have money to spend. 5mil for guthrie and 8mil for pennant please!

[AE]

There were talking about £11 mil on the radio, but it is probably the normal press ****

[Greenoak]

Bolton should just keep saying no, until the prices gets really silly. If chelscum finally say no well we know they will try again once drogbas buggered off to Milan.

 

Bolton dant have to sell - dont need to sell. Who they gonna replace him with. Defoe ??

 

Bet this ends up at 18 ish

 

After all its the first deal of Mr Mong 2

You're forgetting 1 thing.... his brothers suggesting that Le Sulk goes off on one and refuses to play for Bolton again....

[crisps]

We should offer 10 and Guthrie

[Cobs]

eh?

[Tosh]

to be fair, he looks like Bolton's best hope of staying up.

[Buzz]

365 was just reporting that Anelka gone to Chelsea for nearly 15mil, but story has now gone down when trying to add link.

[stressederic]

They got him:

 

Chelsea complete £15m Anelka deal

 

Chelsea hope Anelka will soften the blow of Drogba's absence

Chelsea have completed a £15m deal to sign Bolton striker Nicolas Anelka.

The 28-year-old has signed a four-and -a-half year contract in time to figure in Saturday's home game against Spurs.

 

Bolton had rejected a £12m bid from Chelsea, who wanted Anelka as cover for Didier Drogba, who is with the Ivory Coast at the African Cup on Nations.

 

Salomon Kalou is also away on international duty and Andriy Shevchenko is injured, leaving boss Avram Grant short of options.

 

Shevchenko and Claudio Pizzaro, their other senior forward, have scored five Premier League goals between them this season.

 

606: DEBATE

Only time will tell as to whether Anelka will have the desired impact, but I'm delighted with the signing

Bolton boss Gary Megson said: "I have spoken about the situation with Nic and we agreed there is not a massive amount he or I can do.

 

"It is just as to whether the clubs can reach an agreement. I am still hopeful they can't and he stays here. But that remains to be seen.

 

"However, the deal has to suit all the parties - the selling club, the buying club and the person involved."

 

Anelka, who has scored 11 goals in 22 games this term, has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge despite signing a new four-year deal with Bolton last August.

 

He has made no secret of his desire to play in the Champions League and is still eligible for this season's competition.

 

Anelka joined Bolton in 2006 from Turkish club Fenerbahce for a club record £8m.

 

He has also played for Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City in the Premier League and won the Champions League while at Real Madrid.

[whitewidow]

whats your point? you think Anelka is compareble to torres?

Nope - it's a lot of money for Anelka - in my humble view

[psl]

I think he'll do very well for them.

[stressederic]

It's nice to see that the Chelsea Tax is still in operation.

[Stevie H]

I think he'll do very well for them.

he probably will.

 

be funny to see him and lampard shoving each other out of the way in an argument over who gets to shoot more often though.

good, I was ready to issue a fatwa on you

 

agree that £15m is a lot of money for someone as average as anelka IMO

[smithdown]

He'll be shipped out again within 18 months once he gets lazy but he might put in some effort in the first few weeks like.

[psl]

Well if he's got 1 in 2 being lazy in a poor Bolton side, he'll probably do alright at Chelsea.

because he scored a lot when he played for a the likes of liverpool, PSG and Real before
