The money you save from a transfer fee(he would cost £15-20m if he was under contract) you pay the player in wages.Simplesdigger wrote:Yeah, and apparently Cole is asking for £5m a year (which was enough to put the y**s off).... if we paid Campbell that 7 years ago, I can't see it being a problem now.donaldo wrote:Dont see the wages being a problem.Wasnt Sol on 100k a week when we got him on a free?.

His free to talk to other teams so I can't see why not. It does seem very Arsenal's style (class) to annouce something once the contracts expired.digger wrote:I'm not convinced this is true, but Joe Cole's contract presumably expires on that date? I don't think you can announce a transfer to another club in the same league until your contract actually expires.projoe wrote:announced on a sunday?transfers are very rarely announced on sundays, arsenal always seem to do theirs on fridays. i really hope this story is true
Take Chamack we only annouced the deal after the French league had finished.
An odd but welcomed sigining. Has experience, English etc....J.Cole and Wilshire in the same team?!

A good point.....wilshire might be thinking that the possible departures of 1 or 2 of the dwarves that currently fill our midfield would open the door for him but if joe cole arrives where would that leave him ? Back to square one I would suggest or maybe back further than he stands now cos at his age joe cole wouldnt be a short term signing either
I know it seems that I am almost on my own here (nothing new there then

I do not mind at all. We need the numbers and with Ramsey out for a while it would be ideal.
If we are going down the Barca road then we need players who can hold up the ball and still create at the same time, especially against the "park the bus" teams.
Sure Cole could replace Cesc but imagine Cole being out Iniesta and Cesc being Xavi, it would be perfect.
Plus seeing as we dont have enough reserve players to play in the carling cup then players like Denilson, Diaby e.t.c can play that competition next season.
