Chelsea FC add Nicholas Anelka

I know the Blues figure to need a permanent replacement for Drogba in the summer, but 15 million pounds for Nic Anelka? I can’t see him being the answer and when they make a move for a real #1 striker they’ll have a 30 million pound player (Sheva) and a 15 million pound player in the reserves. Can a move for the moody and out of shape Adriano be part of the summer plans – Next year’s sales pitch: “Look at all our useless, expensive strikers! “ or, “We’re like Inter in the 90s!”.

Anelka is undoubtedly talented but when you look at where he’s already worn out his welcome it doesn’t suggest that this will be a long and happy partnership.
