The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 24 June 2011

Joe cole for two years till ryan mason takes over would be good

Just give the job to Mason now then. Better to vet youth than to shell out a fortune (mostly in wages) on a turd

 

[Shanks]

Apparently personal terms are agreed with Cole. The stumbling block appears to be the fact of guaranteed first team football, which we won't/can't offer.

 

[spurslenny]

Joe Cole as an impact player from the bench would be ok. But is he gonna want that> Can you see our dear Daniel sanctioning high wages for him, not really.

The only impact he'd be making, would be ramping up our wage bill for a few years.

 

[alex3]

i would rather keep gio than sign joe cole

Why would a guy who hasn't been promised 1st team football since he left West Ham suddenly demand it now. He's never been a first choice for either Chelsea or Liverpool really.

 

[Mr Pink]

The thought of signing Cole actually disgusts me.

I love that block :wink:

Good news :beer:

Cheers again Shanks

I wonder what this thread was like this time last year when we were heavily linked with Joe Cole?!

Make no doubts about it, he had a right stinker of a season with Liverpool which was primarily down to fitness, loss of form and lack of opportunities but he IS a talented player no doubt and has the experience of actually winning things with Chelsea.

I'm not particularly advocating his transfer but like I said before, if it is to take Kranjcar's place in the 25 man squad and is prepared to take a wage cut then he could yet prove one of the shrewdest signings we could possibly make - I believe he is 30 so still a good few years at the top if Harry can rejuvenate the old Joe Cole again.

 

[jedimonkey]

If the Cole news is true then maybe we have agreed a relatively low wage with him but also a fairly high appearance fee, and that is why he wants guaranteed first team football to make sure he gets a guaranteed higher overall wage.

 

[Shanks]

Shanks not knocking, you're passing this on in good faith....but that info sounds ridiculous.

Joe Cole, and Taraabt coming back - my God, not in a million years.

You sure this guy isn't on a massive wind up?

Just to make it clear I have appreciated reading your info this morning and not criticisng you for passing it on in anyway just seriously doubt what you're source is saying.

Ha ha, don't fret dude.

Firstly, the Taarabt is simply a rumour thats going around the club at the moment, nothing more, nothing less.

These lads could well be on a wind up, but they are players and know whats going on, I have no reason to believe they are on a wind up at all.

I'm off to Marbella with one of the 'contacts' next weekend, and he wouldn't want me doing anything to him whilst there mwahahahah if he is winding me up.

Forlan at Spurs today.
Personal terms agreed with Cole - no more, or less than that.
In talks with Samba.

Keane, Crouch, Jenas, Wilson off.

Walker, Caulker and Naughton given a chance for first team football this season.

Adel simply a rumour.

I know how ITK works dude, none of these could come off, and we could be sat with the exact same squad come September. But this is what is going on today, and being discussed amongst those around currently.

He's been out of form, injuries or not, for nearly three years.

 

[marvel]

Any danger of POTL saying something about all this?

 

[spurslenny]

It's only a matter of time before we make a bid for Frank Lumplard, if our currant trend of ITK is to be believed.

 

[SpursTillIDie1882]

For one i cannot see Levy agreeing to let Cole join, 2 if harry really wants to bring him in to spurs, i dont think he should be our manager - anyway we dont know if its true yet so dont want to get too carried away with it - i will be extremely dissapointed if it is true, joe is not good enough to displac any of our first team in the midfield! he is dillusional if he thinks he can walk stright in to our team.

 

[TonyGalvinsShinpads]

I find it hard to believe we've made contact with Taarabt.... Surely his phone would be engaged all the time, what with Barca, Real Madrid, Valencia, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea all after him :wink:

Who's to say he hasn't. Remember, he who speaks in riddles is always right

Much appreciated.

Lets hope the Cole deal stalls :razz:

The rest sounds lovely jubbly to me :wink:

Me too dude.

But thats because it's only a rumour, no one has said anything about making contact with him.

Doesn't look like Archibald thinks much of the latest info. Meh...I guess we'll soon see.
