West Brom could become French striker Nicolas Anelka’s sixth different Premier League club. The 34-year-old is a free agent after leaving Juventus.

What’s the story? Hmmm. West Brom moving for a striker who has shown himself to be a malcontent elsewhere? Peter Odemwingie anyone?
Does it make sense? I really don’t like this. West Brom are normally excellent in the markets, especially at giving chances to players to prove themselves. This is just a big contract for a player who has done it all.
Is the price right? Free is OK, but it all depends on the wage. West Brom haven’t paid huge wages up to now and Anelka is not worth changing that policy for.
Will it happen? 7/10 – I guess so, but it’s such a strange lurch away from their strategy.
