To be honest, i am reallistic and would rather have CMS than cole or jerome because they are both S**T 


Seen enough of Carlton Cole to have an opinion of him thanks. If Hughton signs players that I don't rate and they do well then I'll be the first to admit I've got it wrong. I just don't find any of the names we've being linked to so far very inspiring.
We dont assume cole is crap... HE IS! STRIKERS ARE THERE TO SCORE GOALS! Its not about fans being unrealistic its about us being a bit miffed that the likes of swansea have snapped up real goalscoring quality for 2mill n we are enquiring about a non goalscoring "striker" and CMS for 3mill! It does show a distinct lack of ambition.
Im not saying spend massive amounts on a player with huge wages but lets show a little ambition!


then who the hell do you think we were going to get? i don't personally think carlton cole is a great player but i do know he's better than what we've currently got and would fit snuggly into our system.
this is what i don't understand! we have very low funds and a small wage cap, about the only thing we can offer is premier league football at this stage. players need to be bought who will best keep us up, not 'inspire' you.
honestly, its days like today that i want to bang peoples heads together. completely unrealistic demands.
agree, that's it.
i'm out of this.
you lot can **** about thinking the club are a shambles because they haven't signed some mythical centre forward.
unbelievable...
you see, this is why i fear that we have some fans who have no realistic expectations
carlton cole - suddenly, every man and his dog get pissed off because they think he's ****. now think about it. hughton likes to play one man up front - cole is very good at playing up on his own. is he going to score loads of goals? no. what makes anyone think that we can get a striker in who can score loads in the premier league? is he better than morison or martin? yep. its a logical move and if we were to snap him and CMS up we'd have a far greater strike force than we currently have. somehow, i doubt we'll get him or anyone at the moment. i think a loan move is as good as we can hope for.
please, i beg people to think before they start whinging about us approaching players who they assume are crap![]()
Best bit of common sense I have seen on here all day. Does anybody seriously think that Carlton Cole is not a better lone striker than anybody currently on the books?

They're isn't but there is better potential targets who will cost less. I.E CMS.
