Manchester City castaway Scott Sinclair has completed a season long loan move to West Bromwich Albion with the option of a permanent deal next summer. Sinclair has been adamant for a move out of the Ettihad as the likes of Navas, Silva and Nasri has pushed the winger way down the pecking order. Sinclair struggled to break into City’s first team squad as he managed to make only 3 starts for the club last season, making him odds on for a move out of Manchester.

Sinclair began his career with league 2 outfit Bristol Rovers in which he was developed through the club’s youth system, making his professional debut at the age of 15, being the club’s second youngest debutant. 2006 saw London big boys Chelsea come calling for the winger’s services as he was welcomed to the Bridge for a fee of 200,000 pounds. Throughout his 4 year spell at the club, Sinclair was loaned on on 6 occasions as he experienced spells at Plymouth Argyle, QPR, Charlton Athletic, Crystal Palace, Birmingham City and FA Cup holders Wigan Athletic. During these 6 spells, the winger made a total of 74 appearances as he joined high flying Swansea in 2010 for a fee of 500,000 pounds. Sinclair was an instant hit as he netted 28 times in 82 league appearances, being regarded as Swansea’s most valuable player. During the final stages of last summer’s transfer window, Sinclair was tempted to a move back into England as he joined Former Premier League champions Manchester City on a 4 year deal. However, the 24 year old’s career turned sour as he was restricted to first team football due to big named players also joining the club. Sinclair only managed to clock up 15 appearances for the team as a move out of Manchester was beckoning for the winger.

Baggies boss Steve Clarke will be thrilled with this deal as Sinclair offers pace, trickory and an overall good work rate. A player who gives 100% every game will be looking to impress at the Hawthorns as their 0-1 defeat to Southampton implied that a quick wide man was needed. Sinclair should be in the starting line up for saturday’s game vs Everton as he links up with veterans Diego Lugano and Nicholas Anelka (not in the squad due to death of his agent). A player with extreme talent will be happy with this move as this move could re-kindle the winger’s form.

Nicholas Anelka has returned to the Premier League after his proposed move to West Bromwich Albion was completed earlier today on a free transfer. The former Chelsea, Real Madrid and PSG striker has passed his medical and completes a 2 year deal at the Hawthorns which sees him at the club until 2015.

Anelka left England in 2011 as he felt that it was time for a change due to ex-Chelsea boss Andre Villas Boas not having the French man in his plans. This led Anelka to join Chinese outfit Shanghai Shenhua in which he was given the role as a player manager with a reported salary of 170,ooo pounds a week. It was also confirmed that his former striking partner Didier Drogba would also join the Chinese club as they both experienced short spells which ended early due to lifestyle purposes. This saw the former French international leave China for Italian champions Juventus in which he experienced a 5 month loan in Turin.

After the capture of Carlos Tevez, Juventus decided to drop their interest in bringing Anelka back to the club which saw West Brom enquire about the Frenchman’s services. The 34 year old has had previous spells with English clubs such as Bolton, Manchester City, Liverpool and not forgetting his memorable youth career with Arsenal. Anelka boasts a Premier League total of 460 appearances netting 159 times. He also boasts a fantastic award cabinet as the striker has 2 Premier League titles, 2 FA cups, 1 Champions League, 1 Serie A title, 1 European UEFA football championship and 3 PFA awards. Anelka is certantly a proven top class goalscorer but the only thing that would worry West Brom fans is his high wages and mature age. Never the less an exciting signing for the Baggies as Steve Clarke adds a touch of world class to the squad. Definitely a signing to keep an eye out for in the new campaign as he just may raise a few eyebrows.
