I actually don't blame him Woof TBPH. I'm not saying Anelka isn't a good player because he is, but at 13 million or whatever he is going to represent a big gamble at his age and even more so with his temprement. His tendency to throw the toys out of the pram if he doesn't play or whatever wouldn't appear to make him the ideal Rafa signing.

The time to take a punt on him was a couple of years back as hindsight would indicate, 6 million and only 26 with his ability represented little or no risk as it turned out. I must confess though i am talking 100% with hindsight there.

when was the last time he actually threw his toys out of the pram? that's well in the past now if you ask me.

He probably will soon, if he isn't allowed the switch to Chelsea

Anelka would've been great for around £10m, but it sounds like Bolton are holding out for nearer £20m.

Incidentally, the Telegraph have the quotes from the previous page from Sissoko about a potential move to Juve...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport....109.xml

...On the pitch, that future does not look like it will include Mali midfielder Momo Sissoko, who is close to a £10m move to Juventus.

The Serie A side made an unsuccessful approach last summer, but with Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez desperate for funds to sign Javier Mascherano on a long-term contract, Sissoko will be allowed to leave in the January transfer window.

The 22-year-old said: "It isn't done yet but my agent is in advanced discussions with the club. I hope they will reach an agreement and I'm very happy a club like that wants me to come.

"I want a new challenge. The last few months at Liverpool have not gone as I would have wished."

Now we're talking. Do they say what the source is??

He's be a great signing although he still wouldn't solve the creative MF problem as he is a striker if I am not mistaken??

That would surely see the end of 1-2 of our current strikeforce.

On Radio City today they say we are interested in Kevin Nolan?

I heard this as well. They said Rafa is possibly about to make a bid for Matias Fernandez from Villareal as well as a £5 million bid for Nolan.
£5 million for Nolan is way too much and is yet another example of us shopping at Aldi (never mind Tesco) instead of Harrods.

Matias Fernandez
He is described by Global Football Database as an attacking midfielder, a playmaker and a free kick specialist. He can also play as a striker or centre forward, if required. Before leaving to Villarreal CF he was awarded the South American Footballer of the Year 2006 for his campaign with Chilean club Colo-Colo.

Whats the score with us and Cisse, have we sold him now or is he still on loan ? I just wondered because its rumoured Bolton want Cisse so we could have done a deal for Anelka.

Disclaimer if we have sold Cisse already ignore this

Edit sold for 6 Million ( I hate it when old threads are dragged up ! )

Nope.

I know this player a lot because I know a chilean mate that was showing videos about him since he started his career.

Needs 2 or 3 years more of cooking to play in a top club, he struggled a bit in his first year at Villareal.

You'll find a great set of videos in youtube though, but you have to look as well the defenders.
