Update:
@chrislepkowski 3m
#wba confirm that Anelka will not be involved in Saturday’s game. The club have excused the striker from club duty on compassionate grounds.

@chrislepkowski 2m
#wba insist Anelka has NOT retired. I understand his agent has died - which has hit him badly. What the future holds, we'll see

Really? Didn't he score 8 or so goals in pre-season? Thought he would do really well this season.

 

[Easy 10]

Anyone got him in their Dream Team ?

Really, I never knew what to believe - other players who have played with him said he's no problem, but his agent, who is his brother, was a real pain.

'It is believed Anelka may have experienced a recent tragedy in his personal life' - this may explain a lot though.

Wasn't his agent one of his brothers?

I believe NA has more agents than we have players.

The Incredible Sulk strikes again. Big surprise there.

One of his friends died so he's been given the weekend off
