    Has walked out of training at WBA today, claiming he's decided to retire.

    Only one week of the window left, he's dropped them in it a bit.

    Great news for us, West Brom fans seem to think they'll be scraping around the relegation places this season, Anelka offset them losing Lakaku but now he's gone as well.

    They'll probably move for Finbogasson; they were looking at him earlier in the season. They've also picked up Scott Sinclair, decent signing.

    As I said the other week, he's finished and West Brom will be right in the mire this season having failed to replace Lukaku.

    I hoped we were looking at Finbogasson. We might still be.

    Sinclair wasted a year of his life at Manchester. An idiot to go there, even for all the money.

    West Brom are claiming he's not retired, but walked about because his agent has died apparently?

    SSN - West Brom claim Nicolas Anelka has been granted leave on 'compassionate grounds' and will miss this weekend's game.

    Does he still employ that bloke he pays to tend to him when he's on the bench? I was told once by a Chelsea fan that he pays somebody to put a coat round him, bring him stuff he wants (sort of like a PA) and other things besides.

    Man, I wish I was wealthy enough to spend thousands on a guy who puts a coat round my shoulders when I was cold.

    If it is true that his brother is his agent, he might still be retiring.

    We are welcoming to all persuasions on this board Fosse. Obviously he's been kicked out of the secret clique we have but apart from that.............

    Fair enough Chazz ... does the clique have anything to do with the interaction of girls and coats? - coz in fairness, I wouldn't be looking for mine to be putting my coat round my shoulders if I'm honest ...

    Two players doing this stunt in a year at the same club.

    Shocking that.

    Not shocking if it is due to a death though.

    Which in both cases it is.

    Anelka - His agent.

    Odemwingie - His dignity.
