Joe Cole

[pauliewalnuts]

When he went on loan to Lille he played pretty well according to the French media. It could work and considering we don't have a penny to spend and a club without an owner in some ways, I don't think it's a bad bit of business.

Thing is, that was three years ago.

Wow, embarrassing signing number 2. We are having an outrageously bad summer so far, laughable really. Senderos... seriously? Joe Cole.... is he still playing? Keeping Lambert... WHAT?

I've now got to a point where I wouldn't go next season even if they paid me.

Add Barry and Lescott to Senderos and Cole and I reckon we would have a bloody decent season you know.

[claret and blue blood]

Give him a chance,I would imagine on or two of the current squad will be moved out so it's worth a shot.

I think we'll discover that it is Senderos and Cole instead of Barry and Lescott, to be honest.

We can't have our cake both ways.   People have been crying out for experience and he has that.   

I'm not saying I'm jumping up for joy about it, but some of you moaning about him better not be the same ones that were asking for experience - someone will find your quotes

Agree. That's the sorry state of affairs.

That would make us a good enough team. Benteke fit, Kozak playing, Delph picking up where last season finished, N'Zog making an effort, Okore fit in defense with Vlaar. All wishful thinking......

Yes, but I think when people said they wanted experience, it was not *just* experience! -I think the being able to contribute on the pitch thing was kind of taken as a given.

[Rigadon]

Expect him to be injured 50% of the season.  Woeful. 

[luke95]

Let's just be grateful that it isn't Carlton or Ashley.

Or George

[Toronto Villa]

He's here now. He's a talented player, and if used sparingly maybe he can provide the right influence to the the squad and younger players. As long as he still has the enthusiasm then it will be a bonus. Anyway, welcome Joe, good luck.

He's now at the original club with claret and blue which I have no doubt influenced his decision.

[silhillvilla]

Renewing seemed such a good idea at the time

[N'ZMAV]

I got this one and the Senderos one first on here

Steve Bull also having a medical.
