well, maybe not quite but all in all respect where it's due i reckon..

 

Fenerbahce striker Nicolas Anelka insists he is happy in Turkey and not seeking a return to the Premiership.

The 26-year-old Frenchman has been linked with Newcastle and Everton and was quoted as saying he wanted a return to England.

 

But Anelka, who is under contract until 2008, ruled out moving to Everton due to his previous spell at Liverpool.

 

"I'm very happy at Fenerbahce and plan to stay until the end of my contract," he told the Turkish club's website.

 

"A club that wants me would have to speak to Fenerbahce. Because my contract is there. The club hasn't told me of any offer."

 

Anelka was brought to England by Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger in 1997 and flourished at Highbury before leaving for Real Madrid.

 

He returned to England for a loan spell at Liverpool before joining Manchester City.

 

The forward was sold to Fenerbahce for £7m in January last year but was recently quoted in the Daily Star newspaper as saying: "I don't want to waste my time any more in the Turkish Championship.

 

"I want to return to the Premiership and would like it to be at Newcastle."

 

However he has now told L'Equipe that Everton would be wasting their time with any approach to Fenerbahce.

 

"I wore Liverpool's shirt and I will never wear Everton's," he said. "Until the end of this season, I will stay at Fenerbahce. I am very happy here."

Why don't we sign him? He's as quick as Djibs but a more composed finisher. Liverpool remains the ONLY place he was truly content in his entire career, he'd jump at the chance to return. If we do end up selling Cisse, Nico will be the perfect replacement.

I would rather have these players return in this order.

 

Owen

Heskey

Baros

Anelka

 

It only seemed like yesterday we had all four on our books.

in terms of style of play, I think anelka would be absolutely perfect for rafa's system (the player that played for us, that is - not the soloperformer that played for city).

 

Holds up the ball well, strong in headplay, good firsttouch, great technique and knows where the goal is.

 

If Rafa thinks he can control him, I would be all for him coming here. said as much at the time, when it looked like it was him, johnson or nando.

take away the fact he is a prize pillock who cant stop himself from causing trouble then you have a player

 

and that explains why Madrid, PSG & Liverpool didnt want him...you could even say City hardly put up a fight

I would have taken him over Diouf! Bet Ged regrets that now. Nico did a decent job for us, I was disappointed when we didn't sign him, especially after we went out and bought El Hajdji 'sh*tbag' Diouf.

If Cisse goes, and we can get Nico fairly cheap, I'd be well happy with that.

it wont happen because Rafa isnt stupid

 

why can people just not look at the reality of this man

 

He was a good boy at Liverpool cause he wanted a contract...yet we STILL didnt keep him

 

the mans a mentalist

 

Where there is a post on Anelka you can guarantee a quick double salvo from anny road followed by stevieh everytime :D

 

 

thats because it is a f***ing pet hate of mine

 

people just ignore the facts and believe what they want tp believe......if Rafa wanted Anelka he would have bought him by now..he wouldnt cost that much and would come...but why doesnt he..and why when he left City were the worlds big clubs not lining up to sign him? Why have three of the big clubs ditched him

On the field he was not a problem, off the field he was.

and he wasnt that great for us in front of goal either...another myth

 

He was at City mind

Didn't say he was great, I said he wasn't a problem :wacko:

the heskey, owen, anelka period was the best we looked under houllier i thought. hard to believe he'd have been any more troublesome than diouf. he'd certainly have been better on the pitch. from ged's point of view i thought he made the wrong call on that one.

 

wouldn't entertain having him back now though.

wasnt having a go at you kev

 

I thought he played well for us

 

but some talk about his "eye for goal"

many f*****s seem to have a blindspot when it comes to anelka. they ignore the fact that he's a lunatic who poisons squad morale and inevitably leaves clubs under a cloud, and i have no idea why. it's like the end of gazza's career, everyone thinks 'ah he's worth one more try, perhaps i can tame him and get the best out of him'. he's a f***ing nutter.

Please, never say that again.

Exactly his goal record is 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 I think. Certainly nowhere near Cisse's over his career, so b******s to that "composure in front of goal" point made earlier.

Let's just take his comments at face value and not delve deeper into the positives and negatives of Monsieur Anelka.

 

Yet another player has told the blues**** to do one and has specifically said it's because of us. :D

 

I bet they wish their players had the same kind of loyalty when considering which club to further their careers at:

 

Xavier

Barmby

Mcmahon

Rooney

 

etc, etc, etc.

 

The blues**** will be foaming at the mouth, because, let's face it, he's as good as they could hope for and they have yet another thing to blame on us.
