Why not? He did score 15 goals in championship two seasons ago. He could also bring more heading power. He is just 29 althought i was in impression that he is closer to 35. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo.../Carlton-Cole-set-join-QPR.html#ixzz2fTON7WG9
I did say no to him when he's name was being bandied about pre-season. I think I'd say yes now given our current situation. Cole set for QPR after striker fails to seal move to former club West Ham By CHARLES SALE PUBLISHED: 22:40, 20 September 2013 | UPDATED: 22:40, 20 September 2013 Carlton Cole, who was released by West Ham at the end of last season and is surprisingly still without a club, is now expected to join injury-hit Championship team QPR, who have been trying to sign him for two years. The Hammers were expected to re-sign the man they released at the end of last season, but decided he was not fit enough to earn a contract, according to tweets from Jack Sullivan, son of Hammers owner David. please log in to view this image Hitman: Carlton Cole is set to sign for QPR During the summer, Cole had held talks with Hull City, Crystal Palace, St Etienne and Turkish clubs Kasimpasa and Karabukspor.

Because he failed a medical to rejoin West Ham, and his first touch is further than I can kick a ball... Genuinely the least 'mind blowing' (in a positive way at least) signing I could imagine. Still, Harry knows him, and we are desperate...
I dont want him Just the sort of signing I would expect us to get Somebody who is finished at the top level He would be better than nothing though
Really!!!! Surely we can do better than this!?!?! There must be better options out there... shirley!!!
Desperate times, desperate measures, he can join BZ & AJ as our other unfit strikers why would we want anyone who's able to play. Even if he was fit & ready would only have offered a short term, PAYP deal. Really should be able to do better IMO.
Yet again this makes the decision to go with AJ & BZ and sell DJ look like the strategy of a buffoon Carlton Cole is now our best option? I'd rather give Hitchcock a run in the team
Words fail me. There has to be better out there, there has to be. Cant believe Harry went with Austin, johnson and zamora as our only strikers, now we are resorted to this.
Yes i know that Cole wasn't first on anyones list but this is not a prem level where we are playing. Cole done quite well two seasons ago in the championship with hammers. If he is not fit then just let it be.
Oi Oi ...Heskey is doing well out here, scoring for fun!! He was up for player of the season last year. Shall we send him to HQ then ?
Probably fair to say that if his attitude is right, age is secondary .....................it just depends on whether his bank account is getting low and wants a meal ticket OR he still has the fire in the belly and has the desire to play and score goals.
Beggars cant be choosers. We havent much choice with the state Redknapp left us in. We might be looking at Titus Bramble at CB as well!
If we signed him, my positive thought would be that hed score 2 more than Zamora then and keep him out of the team, no one can be worse than Zamora.
