Joe Cole on a free.

[stevienando]

England midfielder Joe Cole, 29 years who playing in Chelsea club since 2003, is on free transfers this summer after they are not renewed their contract. Also Chelsea club confirmed that the player to leave the club.

 

Moreover, Joe Cole played 282 games for Chelsea, scoring 39 goals and won three premier league and three FA Cups. The player announced that he wants to focus on the World Cup 2010, and try to do his best for the England team over the next few weeks.

 

Do we have any realistic chance of snapping him up? Also, do we have enough in our wage budget. I think we could do much worse than to get him. Interest will definitely heat up if he has a good World Cup.

Do we have any realistic chance of snapping him up?

 

In summary. Not a fucking chance.

[smicer07]

Believe it or not, we have no money.

[toshi27]

free on transfer fee, but i bet he wanted us to pay his weekly wages ;)

Oh, you're real witty aren't you. Read what I fucking wrote.

[King Emlyn]

Nah, he'll go to either Spurs or Citeh. Our days of attracting top players are over.

[Rex Banner]

He's a good player but he wants massive wages and probably a big signing on fee plus he is injury prone.

[TommyW]

He'd possibly also want to know who his manager would be and seeing as we don't have one it'd be tricky

[zico]

He'll make his choice after the world cup...

 

He wants to stay in London -

 

Arsenal and Tottenham want him and have CL and cash

 

Man Utd and City want him - They have cash, and Utd have the CL, whilst City will compete in the years to come.....

 

If we get Kenny in - and he gets to spend all the cash sales can generate - Torres and gerrard stays - (and the owners fucks off - sooner or later) - Anfield's atmosphere and the name of the club could give us a shout, but in terms of wages we'll have problems competing or risk blowing our current wage structure.....

[Jokerman]

Even if we were minted we wouldn't have a chance, he won't leave London. My money's on Spurs.

[StevieH]

He and his partner have recently had their first child so they may want to remain in the capital.

[RedBrian84]

He's a London boy and I highly doubt- our lack of money to pay his absurd wages aside- he'd want to leave.

 

I think the Redknapp factor plus CL football will see him at Spurs to be honest.

[zigackly]

Do we have any realistic chance of snapping him up?

 

No.

[Dracco]

I know it is just a goal.com but according to them he already signed for Gunners days ago.

[tenner]

Dont think we have any chance of signing him. Wages are too high.

[danperkins]

Wasn't there rumours he wanted a 6-8 million signing on fee plus over 100 grand a week wages? Super Player but too injury prone to be demanding sh*t like that. Although could potentially be a diamond buy for someone

[G Richards]

Don't think we have the money in the wages budget. Arguably the fee if we sell Yossi could go towards Joe Cole's wages, but even taking this into account, there would still be a gap to bridge.

 

He is not a player without risk, as his injury record of late would show. Still, he'd be a top addition to the midfield, so he should be considered, but in all likelihood will be beyond us at the moment.

[Casadap]

Our owners are parasite shithead cunts that have left us without a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of, so no chance

[RoboRiise]

He'll go to Spurs if he doesn't want to move house, otherwise he'll be Manchester-bound, probably to the red half.

[Trucker Paddy]

Anybody heard anything about were he's off to.

[Guest LFD]

Us hopefully.

 

I suspect he'll go to Spurs with Harry and so he can stay in London.

[shanks69]

He and his partner have recently had their first child so they may want to remain in the capital.

 

i also think they've just moved into a new house.

Wants CL football so defo not us.

[Barrington Womble]

some talk on 5live yesterday or the day before he is joining AC milan - 3 year deal on 70k per week i think.

[Wor Horse]

AC Milan ruled out deals for Fabiano and Cole the other day.
