Would have thought wages would prove to be a problem surely....?

I think GH would have made an excellent director of football.  cant believe villa didnt try and give him a role upstairs or with the development of youth.

And how much would that cost Randy a year? Half a million?

Rather than pay him off as we did, we could have invited him upstairs as DoF or whatever and at least got something back for the millions we paid him.

Maybe LFC will be stumping up for most of it??

I'd take Cole. Talented player in there somewhere. His wages are stupid, though. & I doubt we'd want to pay them - and rightfully so.

Joe Cole mmm, I really like him as a player, especially the player he was 5 years ago. I'm not sure that he still 'has it' to be honest but I guess we'll see.

With all the cost cutting of wages I can't see him coming here for less than what 40k a week?

I think Bent would love Joe Cole's service, so its a Yes from me. Not the player he was, but he has something to prove, so it could work.

Joe Cole is overweight, smokes and hasn't been fit for two years now.

Cole is a busted flush.

His showing for Liverpool against us last day of last season was the most anonymous I've seen in years - years in many of which Steve Sidwell played for us.

I have so much in common with him! Apart from the fags.

What a clever idea. Oh no, the man will never work again because he nearly died! There was no option to do anything with GED.

If we were to sig him I can see it being a month or two before he'd contribute meaningfully due to us needing to get him properly fit first.

It's be a gamble, but at this stage maybe on worth taking.

EDIT: but only on loan!!
