It's Daily Star of course, but..

CHELSEA striker Nicolas Anelka is said to be angry and frustrated after discovering he will not be getting a new contract this season.

Starsport understands the Blues cancelled two meetings with last season’s Premier League top scorer – the second one around 15 minutes before it was due to take place.

Since then, Anelka’s representatives have been told the club have a policy of not offering players over 30 a new deal until they are in the final year of their contracts.

Anelka, who joined from Bolton for £15m in January of last year, has the remainder of this season and next left on

his deal. The apparent U-turn has upset Anelka, 30 last March, who picked up the Golden Boot as the League’s top-scorer with 19 goals last season.

And his treatment has left him particularly disappointed because he shunned the opportunity of having operations on his hip and groin this summer in order to impress new manager Carlo Ancelotti.

He is continuing to play while not 100 per cent fit, but is understood to feel his commitment has not been rewarded.

It is thought Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon called off the second meeting, then informed Anelka’s advisers of the club’s stance on contracts for over-30s.

Anelka’s mood has not been improved by Chelsea’s decision to award skipper John Terry a new £160,000-a-week contract, which runs until the summer of 2014 when he will be 34.

"Starsport understands" how to invent a storey with no factual content in it...

:lol:

Is the Daily Star published by our very own Star?

Until today they had nothing to talk about. Nothing story invented from thin air.

A few weeks ago Nico was talking about how he finally had a home at Chelsea for the first time in his career
