I don't think it's that strange to be honest. We don't know at what stage the negotiations with Pompey are and it might be to try and get us to make a move. He's seen that Rafa wants players who really want to play for Liverpool. He said it when he resigned God and with Bellamy it was the same with comments that his behaviour in the past is something he might have been worried before, but that he really loved how eager Bellamy was to join us.

well i think we would of heard something,he showed he wanted to stay he even felt settled here in Liverpool.

i dont know for certain why ged went with el-hadj but I think Anelka was pretty well behaved when he was onloan.

i may be wrong.

Diouf was obviously a mistake, but given that Anelka has caused problems at every club he has ever signed for I doubt he would have somehow become an Angel at Liverpool. He may have been good while he was trying to get a new contract but how long would that have lasted had he signed? Bob said he is the greediest player he has ever played with......

Regarding his comments about wishing he was at Liverpool, he said the same sort of thing when he joined City after we didn't sign him. 'I wish I was staying at Liverpool', he said (or similar words).

How to win friends and influence people ......

I've always liked the way he has never had a bad word to say about us. Would like to see him with us, but take on board what Robbie said in his book. Even at 31, Robbie is much more important to us than the younger Anelka.
