Joe Cole

[Biggs]

Over the last feww weeks there been loads of talk about harry really wanting to sign him.

What do all of you think?

Personally, i like Joe Cole alot, but i just don't see where he fit in our squad

[Lowestoft Yid]

I'd love him to sign, a great player!

[Mussy10]

Cole is the kind of player we need to feed JD through the middlebof the park. We need thes player if we going to compete in CL.

[dedleysting]

I also am a fan of Mr J Cole.
 
I would sign Cole IF we sell Jenas and O'Hara (the latter looks likely) and if Cole's wage demands aren't as ridiclous as reported. £100,000 pounds a week is far far to much.
 
 If Harry can convince Jenas and O'Hara that their futures lie away from WHL and Levy can agree a deal for Cole in line with our current wages then i am all for Joe Cole at Spurs!

NOT GONNA HAPPEN.


When Harry starts talking like this to the press you know he's telling the truth:  I reckon City have offered him lots of dosh. He's getting old after all:


BBC:


Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp says he would like to sign out-of-contract Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole but feels he has agreed to move elsewhere.
Redknapp managed Cole at West Ham United and would love to be reunited with the England star next season.
Cole, 28, has failed to hold down a starting berth at Chelsea and his contract is due to expire this summer.
"I am a big fan of his but the feedback we've got is that he's already signed for somebody else," said Redknapp.
Redknapp was speaking following Cole's inclusion in Fabio Capello's England World Cup squad and feels that if the Chelsea man does not stay at Stamford Bridge he would be a useful acquisition for someone."I've got a feeling he may have agreed a deal with somebody," Redknapp told BBC Radio 5 live.
"Certainly in the summer someone is going to make a very good free signing if he doesn't stay at Chelsea.
"I don't think it's going to be Tottenham that sign him but if he hasn't agreed a deal with somebody and he doesn't stay at Chelsea then we would be interested."
Reports have suggested Cole and his representatives have angered Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich with their hard-line stance over wages during contract negotiations.

I dont see this happening after what Harry said yesterday, also his wage demands are ridiculous he want something like 120,000 a week! Great player which would be a good addition but i think we should look elsewhere.

[dedleysting]

Hmmm im hope Harry's right he's leaving Chelsea, but wrong that Cole has signed for "someone" and really hope Harry can bring JC to the Lane!

[Dom07Tottenham]

At 120k he has priced himself out of a move to Man U, Ars*nal, and out of a contract extension at Chelsea, Man City are they only ones in EPL that will pay this kind of stupid money for him.......

[Biggs]

Its a joke he demands so much money

[Biggs]

Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has confirmed he has contacted Joe Cole's agent regarding his interest in the England international.

Cole is available on a free transfer after his contract with Chelsea was not renewed and he has several Premier League clubs on his trail.

His former club West Ham United, where he made his professional debut under Redknapp, have already expressed a wish to bring the 28-year-old back to Upton Park.

Redknapp has also repeatedly stated he is keen on the midfielder, but has previously cast doubt on his prospects of being able to bring Cole to Tottenham.

Earlier in the week, Redknapp suggested a deal may already have been done for Cole to join Manchester United, only for the Red Devils to reportedly rule out a deal for the playmaker.

And now Redknapp has stepped up his efforts to add Cole to his squad, although he accepts he may have to wait until after the World Cup finals before being able to speak to the player.

"We've declared our interest in Joe to his agent, but that is as far as it has gone," Redknapp told The Sun.

"We are told Joe doesn't want to talk to anyone about any move until after the World Cup is over."

Following United's apparent lack of interest in a deal, Spurs' North London rivals Ars*nal are currently favourites to land Cole.

Looks like this is going to be going on for a long time lol

[Dom07Tottenham]

Won't be long after Germany beat England tonight. Shouldn't be long after that, another MF Sessegnon looks a good buy 8m apparently

Cole hasn't decided but finally speaks about his future in the above link


Article pasted below anyway, oh yeah and my previous post yesterday morning AEST was a prediction or Eng Ger....all I can say is unlucky, and Germany was definitely the better team, and England needs more young talent, without such world cup heartaches


A few of the papers are reporting that Joe Cole has finally spoken out about his future now England are out of the World Cup. Could he be heading for Spurs? I think so, Nobody loves a bargain more than Harry so you can bet your bottom dollar he will be doing all he can to land Cole. United claim they aren’t interested in Cole and will Ars*nal pay his wages?. If you ask me we are firm favourites for his signature.
Joe Cole has blamed “political reasons” for his release from Chelsea and will return to England from South Africa to consider his immediate future, with Tottenham Hotspur and Ars*nal understood to be interested in signing him under the Bosman ruling.
Cole was “devastated” after England’s World Cup campaign came to and end via a 4-1 reversal against Germany in Bloemfontein. But now he wants to turn his attention to where he will be playing next season after the end of his spell at Stamford Bridge. Inter Milan and Ars*nal are amongst the clubs being linked with a move for Cole.
“I want to get my future sorted as quickly as possible,” said Cole.
“My season for Chelsea wasn’t great for what I believe were political reasons rather than footballing reasons. Carlo Ancelotti, I love him, I’ve got big respect for him. I don’t want to go on into it now. It isn’t the time.
“It is not financial and it is nothing to do with Carlo. I love Carlo. I think he is a top guy and a top manager. I loved my time at Chelsea, I love the fans but it is a story for another day and I will tell it but now is not the time.”
Cole added: “I want to have a couple of weeks off, want to sort my future out as soon as possible, go on holiday with my family. Next season I want to have a fantastic season for England and whatever club I am out.
“The next contract I sign will be a footballing decision. I want to play in a more central position. I want a manager who has faith in me and I’m talking about club football here.
“It is a big decision for me and my family but I’m open to anything at the moment. I have purposely not spoken to anyone while I’ve been here because that wouldn’t be fair on England.
“My phone has been turned off but now I want to sort it all out.”[/color][/font]

[drockspur]

the one good thing he will bring is champions league experience plus harry knows all about him

[zapiy]

Cole would be a fantastic addition to the squad, lets hope this is comes off.

[CountPuchi]
