stephenkibby. Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Looks about to sign for celtic as a free agent.Now looking at we were trying to spend millions on a striker with cole on a free, 31 y.o 7 England caps.would he be a good replacement for wilbs?Now I don't have a clue about wage demands, but its taken him this long to find a club, waz reckon?

Spoons Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 7 caps for England!! The only time cole ever looked a good player was when he first burst on the scene for Chelsea. He wouldn't improve our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't improve our squad.Got to disagree with you on that one. A fit Carlton Cole would deffinetly be a useful and solid addition to our strikeforce, to think otherwise is naive Imho.

BS4 on Tour... Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 like Marcus Stewart, Michael Bridges & Marlon Harewood were decent additions??Not sure of the relevance of listing three other players who aren't Carlton Cole?!I'd take him, three years younger than Wilbs and scored over 60 premier league goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveF Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Would be a great signing but we wouldn't be able to afford his wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Strange saying he wouldn't be up to it as I've seen lots of West Ham fans saying they'd have been happy with him being given another 1 year contract, however I suppose this is coming from our fans who also wouldn't take Kevin Nolan.

As an aside, who was our last experienced premier league player who was a success? Well, as there was life before the Premier League, I'd say we've signed some pretty good players with experience in the top division in this country who did well for us. Such as Norman Hunter, Terry Cooper, Joe Royle, Peter Cormack and more recently Shaun Taylor, Joe Jordan, Gary Owers, Brian Tinnion.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Would definitely have him. But he would demand huge wages and that would not fit.into how landown is doing things. I still think we have enough to stay up if only he changed the system, we're going down whatever striker we sign otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fed up of these sorts of players coming for one last pay day, wasn't necessarly so back in the day..Players definitely came for one last payday in the past as they earned so little. We signed Norman Hunter, Joe Royle, Joe Jordan who were all internationals, but not rich, so needed to carry on playing. It would be impossible to sign similar players today.
