"Show me the money" always comes to mind with Anelka....

"Show me the money" always comes to mind with Anelka....

he's a professional player, so that attitude seems pretty obvious...i prefer his straitforward attitude to the Ashley Cole nonsense ("lack of respect"...my arse).

Certainly a decent short term signing, but possibly more. Better business than Darren Bent, i'd argue. Time will tell, but he is a proven Premiership/Premier League player. Plus, he can play in the CL for Chelsea.

Come the summer, Drogba will most likely leave, so too may Sheva and Pizarro, so he could be a key striker next season too.

Meanwhile though, it's good to see him here now, with only Pizarro as a recognised striker for Chelsea.

Bolton, i imagine, would be able to buy 3-4 players with the transfer fee.

What a pity he never stayed at Arsenal, would have loved to see the Henry/Anelka combo for a few seasons..........
