Rich Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Ratio of one-in-two for Cole compared to one-in-five for Best at the clubs mentioned like. Can't have been as anonymous as Leon, could Wor Andy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he was even known in Spain as a promising English player. I perfectly remember how they ran a report on him in our "MOTD" way back when he was at Bristol, hosted by Julio Maldonado (how I remember that I don't know).

Village Idiot Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Incidentally, now that we are on the subject of Cole, please humour me. Why was he sold? I have always wondered what brought that transfer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Ultimately he wasn't part of Keegan's long-term vision for NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMag Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Keegan had no long term vision. He thought season to season. Cole would not head a ball to save his life. KK was told to sell some players before he could start spending again. AC recorded a rap song and thought he was all that and a side of chips... and that was that. KK was right incidentally. Cole won stuff with ManU but was not as good as he was when he played for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Cole didn't record that rap song till 99, 4 years after leaving us. As for KK being right, we weren't ever really that entertaining again after Cole's departure. Had Cole lined up in a team with Ginola and Gillespie on the wings, he's have easily emulated his 41 goals in 93-94. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Didn't Cole have on-off injury problems with his shins at the time? I think Keegan may have reckoned that £6 million was a good price for a player whose fitness seemed dubious. Plus he really rated Keith Gillespie. If he hadn't come in part exchange, I doubt whether the deal would have gone through. You have to say it was a good move. Ferdinand replaced Cole and the team moved forward.
