Ashley Cole

[mouse1989]

Keeps getting linked with us for a summer move, when his contract runs out at Chelsea.

 

Thoughts?

[moof]

Past it. Too high wages.

[Stickman]

Would never get past Cissokho....

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Saw thread title. Expected something bad. Leave disappointed.

[FanchesterCity]

Cole (now) is the right player for two types teams:

 

1) A just promoted team looking for an ego boost and a 'name' for the fans to symbolise their ambition.

 

2) A big club in decline, trying to arrest the slide for one more year or so

 

 

Liverpool are neither of those, they're on the up and should be seeking 22-26 year olds.

[deiseach]

Remember Joe Cole. Then forget it.

[Adebisi]

Major bell-end on and off the pitch. Do not want. 

[redinthehead]

It would be hard to see how signing an old, overpaid cunt would fit in with FSG's philosophy.

 

That said, I would have welcomed a loan for the balance of this season as he would surely be better than cissokho and Enrique's fitness is a big question mark.

 

 

[stringvest]

no.  a bad example to all our children. 

[Mojo]

rather have Cheryl

[Russ Atmosphere]

I can just see FSG meeting his wage demands. He'll be in China this time next year Rodney.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

No thanks.

[INTORRESTING]

If wages are okay then go for it, he is a quality player but he is an enormous cunt.

 

 

 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

He could be our new Gary Mac. If he was a midfielder. And wasn't arrogant. Or a cunt. Or shit. 

[Tj hooker]

rather have Cheryl

Wouldn't we all

[kemskem]

Not hungry enough. Won league titles and a CL. Old.

[Trumo]

Definitely a no from me.

 

For a start, he would consider earning £3m a year to be living on the breadline. Secondly, a club like ours should only consider signing somebody of that age and experience on a Bosman IF they are still hungry for success, and if they have leadership qualities or can be a presence in the dressing room. Spending money on them for those factors can be worth it in terms of bringing on the next generation of players at the club.

 

Ashley Cole would want too big a contract, seems to be well established and settled in (or near) London, and doesn't offer either leadership or dressing room presence. He's not yet washed-up and he's still generally consistent in his performances, but he doesn't offer what this club needs either now or in the immediate future.

[Paulie Dangerously]

No ta

[magicrat]

Don't want another over-rated , overpaid and over the hill player called Cole

[Section_31]

Fuck that, don't want more cast offs.

[Boss]

A strong no from me as well.

[Bjornebye]

He is better than Enrique and Cissokho without a doubt. Possibly has 1 maybe 2 yard left at that level. 

 

I would much prefer us to be singing better talent of a better age without the massive amount of curtness but if it was the final day of the window and we hadn't signed a LB i'd take him. 

 

[Dr Nowt]

Definitely a no from me.

3 MILLION A YEAR?

[Hand Shandy]

I'd rather keep Cissokho.
