Anelka

Chris Lep


Anelka due back at #wba training ground today. Talks planned for later on. A positive sign that he'll return maybe?

Hope for your guy's sake he comes back. Obviously it is a terrible thing to have happened, but I think you'll need him if you're to replicate any thing like you had last season.

Especially with Foster out.

Yes mate.

Can't see him equalling Lukaku's goal total, but he'll certainly help on the goals front.

Fosters a massive blow. Massive.

Vydra off injured last night aswell. Not a great start on the 'luck' front

I didn't think he would, Lukaku was fantastic for you last season, I'd actually expected you to bid for him this summer to be honest.

How long is he out for?

He cost Chelsea £18,000,000 and always said he wanted to make it their. Was always just going to be a 'one season thing'. Although Jose doesn't seem to fancy him so far this season. Must of been pretty pi55ed not playing at OT. Maybe another year on loan is best for everyone.

Foster is out for 3 months. Bad for us and bad for England. Rumours that he had overtaken Joe Hart as the number 1.

Ouch, he's good, but 18m+ is a hell of a lot to fork out for someone so young. I'm not sure, a season on loan would be great, but Chelsea are seriously short of strikers at the moment. If Mourinho doesn't play him though, I can't see him staying there for long, especially having just come off the back of a successful season starting most games.

I would much rather have Foster in goal than Hart.

Yeh but Chelsea only play 1 up top.

They have Torres, Ba, Lukaku and will get either Rooney or Eto'o before the window closes. Surely Ba or Lukaku will go out on loan?

Even Victor Moses would do a job for us.

#wba have indeed now confirmed Anelka will resume training tomorrow
