So Anelka has been sacked by West Brom.
BBCWest Brom are sacking Nicolas Anelka for gross misconduct after the striker announced he was quitting the club.
Earlier on Friday, Anelka used social media to announce he was leaving the club immediately.
He wrote: "Following discussions between the club and myself, certain conditions have been set for me to rejoin the group, which I can't accept.
"In order to preserve my integrity, I've terminated my contract with West Brom with immediate effect."
However, West Brom responded by releasing a statement saying "the termination was invalid as it was not conducted under the correct legal process".
The statement also detailed the conditions Anelka needed to meet to enable his club suspension to be lifted.
It read: "The club required Nicolas Anelka to apologise to it, its supporters, sponsors and the wider community for the impact and consequences of his gesture made on December 28 and secondly, that he accept a substantial fine.
