Yes the new player manager of Shanghai


I hope he succeeds. Is it really 14 years ago he popped that goal in at Wembley to seal the double?

It would be funny if one of his players would tell him to eff off like he did in Africa

Vas niquer ta mere encule

His mercenaries brothers must be over the moon..
I always wonder if the anelka bros/ David Dein story was true....

[flash gunner]

Of all the players in our recent past the one i would never have expected to get into management is Anelka

Dont like him hope he fails

[Chippy]

It's a bit unclear. Some are saying he's replacing Tigana, others that he's been appointed player/coach by Tigana.

This will end in Chinese tears.

That comes as a suprise

Not that he'll ever admit it, but I do wonder if Anelka regrets leaving Arsenal.

What might have been eh! Imagine him and TH14 upfront together in their prime.

Then again, Anelka left in summer 99, the same summer we signed Henry. If Anelka had never left Arsenal, we may never have known the legend that his Henry.

I seem to remember him doing so in an interview a couple of years back. Also, he played in tandem with Henry in a few games for the U21 so I don't see any reason why they couldn't have formed a partnership at Arsenal together. Imagine that, Anelka and Henry up front with Bergkamp in a free role behind them, covered by an industrious - but also talented - midfield trio of Paddy, Manu and the Romford Pele!!
