madras Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Calling Carlton Cole the new Gazza is like saying Ian Huntley is the new Esther Rantzen. to be fair, do you know if carlton talks to plastic parrots and turns up at sieges promising to put things right with a can of beer, fishing rod and some KFC ?

OoOGazOoO Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Jeez, we want someone who can score goals, Carlton Cole does not exactly meet the criteria of goalscorer, in my opinion. He isnt what we are looking for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Stoke manager Tony Pulis is planning to make a £9m summer bid for England striker Carlton Cole from relegated West Ham as he prepares his side for next season's Europa League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WashyGeordie Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 £9mil?! Jeezaz. Hope to god we're not in for him, especially for that price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 £9mil?! Jeezaz. Hope to god we're not in for him, especially for that price. doubt he'll go for anywhere near that (I don't think they'd get 9m for Parker let alone Cole), and i'd examine the sanity of anyone who paid that much for him. then again didn't we get 9m or so for oba so theres always stupid people out there....

Chris_R Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Carlton Cole? No. Just no. This is a man who has never scored more than 10 league goals per season (12 in all competitions is his best return). This year, his return is 5 from 28. He makes "Homegrown Striking Ace" Shola Ameobi look fucking prolific. Laughably he had never scored 2 goals in a PL game until boxing day just gone. At 27 and having played up front your entire career, that's fucking disgraceful. Career stats of 52 in 248 in all competitions says it all. One in 5 ffs. The man's a fraud.

TRon Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I think managers like Cole because he's good at bringing other players into the game. Good first touch and a decent in the air. Let's face it, it's not his prowess in front of goal that gets their notice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkhead Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Should be avoided at all cost. Especially more than 2-3mil.. Cole is identical to Shola in terms of his mentality/confidence/determination and it would make no sense to bring in another notorious under-performer.. unless we're planning on getting rid of Lovenkrands/Ranger which is not very likely..

Chris_R Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 If we bought Cole for £2-£3m then I'd say "Well at least he's got to be better than Lovenkrands" and see him as decent backup, but the thought of wasting £9-£10m on him just makes me shiver. There simply MUST be better players than him around for £10m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's our focus." #NUFC Our strikers next season are going to be new guy, Best, Ameobi, Lovenkrands, and maybe Ranger. The new guy better be damn good and able to play every week.

Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 We need 2 strikers tbh. Although if we're going 4-4-1-1 or the 4-5-1/4-3-3 thing I coud understand it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
