The day after the Fenerbahce club's announcement of Anelka's transfer, Nottingham Forest's official website also published a large photograph of Anelka with a prominent headline to usher in the Forest team's new outstanding striker.
The high-profile publicity also confirmed the news from the Turkish side. The English media went into a tizzy.
Almost everyone looked down on the transfer. Many people questioned Twain's decision.
"...I can hardly believe my own eyes. I thought today was April 1. Anelka's back! Damn it! Pardon my language, but I really can't figure it out. Why did Twain choose this man?"
"Tony Twain must be out of his mind to choose Anelka. Does he feel like his locker room is too calm?"
"What's so good about the Frenchman? There are a lot of strikers who can score as well as he does, but there are few strikers in the world like him who are a headache for every manager."
"I'm sorry, but I think Twain wants to challenge himself."
