He has all the ability in the world but his attitude holds him back. Anelka could have been prolific for a great European club but he just fucked off club after club and became unemployable. The apparent lack of remorse for the quenelle gesture sums the horrible bastard up.
He's not had a bad career. Played for Real Madrid, arsenal, city, Chelsea (amongst others). Won international trophies for France and frankly earned a shit load of money.
I very much doubt he looks back on his career and thinks his attitude held him back!
You've conveniently missed out Bolton Wanderers, missing a decisive spot kick to ensure U****d won the Champions League, Shanghai, a ban from international football with France and being given notice from West Brom for that disgusting gesture. He's had controversy wherever he's been and, by all accounts, won't mix with his team mates.
He's had a long career so played for lots of teams but he's still had a good career. He left Bolton for Chelsea so that's hardly a disaster. Since Chelsea he's been winding down as he's getting on a bit and has just been going for money (which is his prerogative).
Missing a penalty is hardly a good reason for saying he's wasted his career. Plus if his team mates don't like him then why have a lot of them supported him for the quenelle gesture? Seems an odd thing to support someone who you dislike.
I agree he's a bad seed but to say his attitude has held him back is ridiculous as he's had an extremely successful football career! I've always resented the fact we sold him on the cheap as everyone else seems to have made money out of him (until he left Chelsea).
