As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
Drop it McDowell he's never going to admit he got it wrong!!!!
As for Cole as a player i'd have him back, as a man i wouldn't he's scum...... Overall a big fat NO fuck him hope he rots at fucking Stoke or QPR
Right so if I get you correctly Lord Flash, the content of the character of a footballer is more important than his performances in his profession is that right. In which event, I take it you detested the adultering Thierry Henry, the similarly adulterous Arsene Wenger, and Andre Santos who srives in a negligible manner that could kill a child?
Pffft leave off with the moral superiority bullshit. As if we are above that. Utter codswallop.
If Cole is quality as a player then, so long as he isn't a racist thug like Barton, where is the issue?

You have a choice of:
- Keiran Gibbs (brittle, cannot defend and never won a thing)
- Andre Santos (eats KFC Bargain buckets on the bench, showers with duck fat)
- Ash Cole (won the lot, bags of PL experience, would make Arsenal fiercer).
You forget he left us cos we wouldn't give him £60k a week, (but we gave Theo this!).
He conducted himself like an arse hole, but is what he did much worse than what many of our current batch have done (Diaby 'I wear a Spud kit' etc)
He's a greedy Judas, but so is Rooney, and our current squad has its fair share of mercenaries.
Personally, I'd take him back.
I take your points Babs, but for me, if we are to be pragmatic for a moment, I would also point out he is on the down slope of his career. Not shit yet certainly, but deffo past his peak. I agree we are weak as fuck at left back but I would look to bring in someone new there – of course Arsene won’t as it will kill Gibbs...
For me he was as guilty as the Board for the manner of his leaving. Yes they fucked up over the £5K a week, but the dirty little Judas kúnt was touting himself on the sly to the chavs.
The fact that other players are mercenary kúnts doesn’t excuse Cuntley for me. I wish ALL mercenary kúnts were gone from the club but that isn’t going to happen either unfortunately.
Still a big NO for me.
Youre right DB10 and Baba youre prob right too they are all 's but why would you want the uber back? He sums up everything that is wrong with modern day footballers. Fuck him
I would want him back Flash, because he is better than any other option we have at left-back. FACT.
DB10 I aso see your point but, can you name a genuinely superior left back to Cashley anywhere in Europe? Because I still cannot? He is class. He is quality and has experience, agree on downward slope, but he's still top billing.
I think we are getting too emotional over this, personally, if he came back and won us the league none of you would give a shit would you?

Sorry Baba i dont want him back FACT and its nothing to do with adultery.... Ive highlighted the reasons i dont want him back and im very sorry if i dont agree with you, as we know you are always right and dont like people disagreeing with you FACT
He is better than what we currently have at Arsenal but there are 101 players out there better than Gibbs and Santos we dont have to have that *word censored* back after he shat on us
if i were to say yes (which i would never, i dont want that c##t anywhere near this club again), his age means he would be a stop gap signing and we have had enough of those down the years. no thanks
funny how chelsea's offer is now derisory, seeing as he left us because of our derisory offer...swings and roundabouts ay
If we wanted to sign him in Jan we would have to pay a fee. Next July he'll be 32 and 7 months. He's still a top class FB but most people agree his powers are not what they were, so is it good business to pay 6 or 7 million a year to a 34 and a half year old? I don't think so.
That's the practical bit.
Personally, I don't worry too much that he shoots trainees and likes to keep his iphone in some unusual places, but the way he left us makes him a complete and utter **** and I don't want him back.

When that day comes he has truly made to the Sheringham levels of cuntdom - he's still a pup in training until then !
