Joe Cole

Fair play, he sounds genuinely excited about it on Talksport just, and very keen to play that number 10 role. Get anything like form from him he will very quickly become a favourite.

It was also pretty clear that Roy Keane is coming in.

To play alongside him?

Lets give Tony Cascarino a call as well and see if he fancies a run.

Yes the aged jokes are hilarious. As I am 32 in 5 days, writing off a player at 32 makes me feel like reaching for the pistol!

Chill, I'm 46 and still harbour ambitions of playing for Villa. Cole's signing reignites my chances...

West Ham fans on KUMB don't seem to be heartbroken at his departure, and West Ham as a side aren't much cop, lets face it.

I've read in a few different places that Sam Allthepies' attritional approach to football didn't suit Cole.  Not sure that joining a team with the record for the most long balls last season will improve matters for him in that regard.  The closest thing we had to a playmaker was Guzan.

I hope this comes off, or that at the very least, he provides a modicum of entertainment.  Ginola was past his best when he joined us, but there were still glimpses of quality.

Welcome to The Home of Football, Joe. My Bluenosed ex-girlfriend who stole thousands of pounds from me used to really fancy you. That's enough reason for me to hope you're successful, just to piss the Heathen, Villa-hating, bitch off.

Haven't been on here for a while since leaving early at White Hart Lane for the last game, however had to laugh yesterday when hearing the news of Joe Cole signing.

Wtf is this all about. If he'd have signed for Brentford or Charlton I wouldn't have been surprised but with us being the shambles that we are I just laughed. Shit season, shit players! Why not sign some really old extra shit ones to go with them.

Nearly as funny as the folk on here.....Ah well, I'm off to Brazil on Sunday so who cares.

Yep.

I recommend having a piss in the Amazon.

Now this post has raised a smile from me!

It's not so long ago an over-the-hill Robbie Keane turned up for two months and lit the bloody place up.

True that. How I laughed, how I mocked Robbie Keane when the loan was announced. How he made me eat my words. I will be forever grateful to him.

Bluenose girlfriend stealing thousands from a Villa boyfriend. Surely not.

Fat Sam has always played the way he has, Lamberts side have not. This hoof ball we have adopted is more down to the players not having the confidence and also the ability to play football for 90 minutes. They can do we have seen it. As a team we make too many silly mistakes then we panic and resort to lumping up the pitch.
Players like Cole will help to change this.

On the age thing, I gave up hope of playing for the sacred claret and blue colours last year. I'm 59 !

In the shirt and on the pitch is where I'll judge JC.... and if he can reproduce and of the form from his earlier career, then he'll be a good addition.

Pretty much hits the nail on the head, Ian.
I always felt that we started games passing the ball well. Then when a couple of mistakes crept in many of the crowd got restless.
You could feel the atmosphere changing.
When AMcL was here people were going on about the passing game of other teams, Swansea kept being mentioned, and how they wished we kept the ball like they did, I posted on this site at the time that I didn't think that many Villa fans are patient enough for this passing the ball around, aka Swansea, Barca etc.
We saw what the team is capable of over the past two seasons, unfortunately this was all to infrequent.
