I love watching this guy play, so graceful on the ball and a great finisher.

Sky Sports News reports Nicolas Anelka has walked out of training at West Brom and told staff he is retiring.

WTF?!!

Sky sources: West Brom’s Nicolas Anelka walks out of training and tells staff he is retiring

Chris Lepkowski ‏@chrislepkowski 1m

Nicolas Anelka left #wba training ground this morning. Had meeting with Garlick, packed bags, left. Major doubts over future.

Assured there was NO bust-up - Anelka decision (whatever that will ultimately be) is based on either football/personal matter

Nicolas Anelka leaves West Bromwich Albion and could retire from football completely

[The Skipper 20,593]

Hahahaha.

[Jase 43,479]

Apparently...

Chris Lepkowski ‏@chrislepkowski 17m

It has been suggested that Anelka's walk-out based on a personal matter. Wait and see until #wba say more at this stage

#wba confirm that Anelka will not be involved in Saturday’s game. The club have excused the striker from club duty on compassionate grounds.

#wba insist Anelka has NOT retired. I understand his agent has died - which has hit him badly. What the future holds, we'll see

[magic weeds 446]

Yes, its his brother

[The Skipper 20,593]

Oh dear. Feel bad for laughing now. RIP if true.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Yes, its his brother

Which one?

I know he has two agents (or so i have read), both being Claude and Didier Anelka.

RIP.

Just spoke to Anelka's agent (who obv is not dead!) One of NA closest friend died last week. He is not retiring but wont be involved on Sat.

Anything can always happen with Anelka but I was told again that he is not retiring but is hurt and down after the death of his friend.

[The_Flash 1,144]

Very strange news, very sad if it is down to a lost friend, poor NA.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

Was that Quenelle salute he did after he scored really some kind of new Nazi symbol, or is the media going crazy by itself again?
