AJ 1,359 Posted August 31, 2012 Wouldn''t complain with that if the deal was a decent one. Seems a bit too similar to Holt and Morison though, perhaps? Or maybe that explains why Morison was supposedly asked to go out on loan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 11,136 Posted August 31, 2012 AAAHH,i haven''t seen that signature for ages.Cheers SI[:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy_Bones 444 Posted August 31, 2012 Another very unimpressive player being linked with us.Surely the idea is to improve competition or improve on what we already have, and Cole doesn''t really do either IMHO.1 in 4 strike rate since joining West Ham and half of those seem to have bounced off his posterior without him knowing about it...

stratton canary 164 Posted August 31, 2012 This was mentioned on talksport earlier cole,cameron jerone & another one can''t remember who, talk sport presenter stated Norwich are desperate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy_Bones 444 Posted August 31, 2012 I''m not totally against Jerome and out of options like Cole, CMS and similar he''d be the best option, but even that isn''t saying much and the ''desperate'' comment is getting scarily accurate... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stratton canary 164 Posted August 31, 2012 I''am begining to feel the same Indy_Bones, yes, the other one was CMS £3m bid turned down by Brighton they said Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clint 221 Posted August 31, 2012 Carlton Cole is 28, has 7 caps for England and has consistently scored goals in the premier league. How many of our current squad can we say that about?! This would be an impressive signing IMHO and anyone who thinks otherwise must be pretty deluded about the quality of striker we are going to attract and sign. Some of the names being banded about are rediculous! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 4,150 Posted August 31, 2012 I jus get the feeling it doesn''t matter who we are linked with or who we get, they just wont be good enough for the majority on here. Fact is we have signed 8 good players already, and surely with a striker to come - I don''t know who it will be but I don''t really care: if they are what the manager wants we go with that, and if it is Cole thatis fine by me - he has impressed enough to gain a pile of England caps so who are we to say he''s no good?

crab man 178 Posted August 31, 2012 this has to be a joke. surely. he would offer us less than holt and morison Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norfolkbroadslim 225 Posted August 31, 2012 I wouldn''t take Carlton Cole on a free. See what the hammers fans think of him and that should tell you all you need to know!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 4,150 Posted August 31, 2012 I''m no particular fan of Cole, but I couldn''t care a toss what West Ham fans think of anyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy_Bones 444 Posted August 31, 2012 [quote user="Clint"]consistently scored goals in the premier league.[/quote]3 in 06/074 in 07/0810 in 08/0910 in 09/105 in 10/11So 32 goals over 5 years which is approx 7 a season - wow....That''s certainly not better than the likes of Holt and Moro, and not likely to trouble Jackson and possibly even Martin either, so whilst he has ''consistently'' scored goals in the prem, the amount of them is poor to average...Bearing in mind his career average is a goal every 4.6 games, and frankly the idea he''s good enough is what''s ridiculous - not some of the other names being suggested...
