Hearing that Cole has gone to QPR. Sturridge in and that 90K a week waste gone, not a bad start. Edit: or West Ham it seems.... Breaking : Joe Cole is Having Medical at Westham United ahead of his Free transfer
Sky half agree: Joe Cole would appear to be edging closer to making a move back to West Ham. We understand that the out-of-favour Liverpool midfielder is at Upton Park this evening for a medical. Stay tuned for more on this story.
Just been reported on SSN that Joe Cole is in talks with West Ham .. **** yeh!!! Edit - http://www1.skysports.com/transfer-centre/clockwatch
I just hope we aren't having to pay to get rid of him. If we can just get rid for nothing or even get a couple of mil for him would be brilliant. If we are having to pay then sort of defeats the whole point...
Couldn't give a **** if we have to pay a bit out as long as its not the reminder of his contract, may as well keep then do that!
YOu would think we could start a tug of war of sorts but think we are just taking what we can at this point.
Knowing us, we'd play them off against each other, they'd both pull out and we'd be stuck with him...
I'd prefer him to go WHU. QPR have enough **** and I'd rather he pisses Allardyce off with his ****ness
We have to pay Cole to release him from his contract. His signing on fee was spread out over his contract and 18months of it is still due. We might not have to pay it all, but we need to agree a pay off of sorts with him. Would be nice if West Ham could just pay that for us and we can get rid for nothing...but happy he's gone even with a pay off, it'll work out cheaper.
best not try and shaft West Ham or they will give us Carroll back. probably fecking will anyway, but we don't want to risk upsetting them before he's gone. this all sounds too good to be true, have a horrible feeling it will go tits up somehow.
Anything else think now Ba has gone to Chelsea, Newcastle will make a move for Carroll in the summer? If we can get anywhere near £20mil for him then bite their hand off. They played hard ball then so should we.
