"Joe Cole has 100pc NOT signed for #Arsenal. Checked it, it's not true. They like him but Joe wants to concentrate on WC, decision after SA".

not sure why he would wait until after the world cup for anything. if he gets hurt, hes screwed. too big of a risk for a guy with no contract whatsoever.

Can't see it happening. I was hoping it would though if only to finally get a few English players at the club.

Alright Hitler, calm down

Wow. This forum. Wow.

Its just those two tony.

Good on him, bring home the World Cup then sign for the Gunners, what a fantastic summer in prospect!

Cole, 28 is believed to have agreed to sign a £110k a week three year-deal.

Would surely make him the highest paid player by a mile hardly see Arsenal giving him this kind of money.

I would be very surprised if Cesc wasn't on a similar amount, regardless of what the club say about wage structures, if he isn't his agent wants shot..

They paid top dollar to Sol when he first signed on a free so why not Joe?

you mean before wengers wallet contained moths?

This team badly needs quality signings but I will still say that I hope joe cole is not one of them whether cesc stays or goes. I am not questioning his ability/talent but am sticking resolutely behind my belief that he does not cure any of the major weaknesses this team has (gk, cb or cm). I know he can sign without a transfer fee but his 110k per week wages does come from our transfer budget so I would much rather that money be given to a top quality keeper, centre back or centre midfielder

Metro says three year deal, sounds good to me!!

Nobody knows what money he'll be on, for all we know he could even take a pay cut with the promise of first team football at a top club. If he was all about money he'ld stay at Chelsea

Cole will also know where he's going. He might not have signed but an agreement in place. Nobody is going to have it coming out before or suring the WC, but I would find it suprising, given how strongly these links are, if it turns out to be bullshit

That's the bit I don't understand. Why only 3 years? It will surely mean that after the 12-18 months, Cole's agent will be looking to get some sort of increase with the knowledge that if Arsenal don't pay it, he'll be liable for a 'free' transfer again shortly down the line.

It's to give the forum something to get it's knickers in a twist about...

Not as strong as those linking Cesc with Barca. Or will that turn out to be bullshit as well.

Well what's up with all these people that keep going on about the players we need must be English or Irish, why? what's wrong with foreigners? Why do they have to be English, there is a word for people that just want English players....Nick Griffin is one of them!

Our best teams over the years had backbones of English players that gave some steel to add to the flair of foreign genius' that also played for us. Maybe and i dont know Irish Gooner personally but maybe this is what he would like again???? and it does make some sense.

Now refering to him as Hitler or Griffin because of this is quite frankly pathetic he has made NO rescist comments and isnt even English himself but then again maybe you know more and he is a fully payed up member of the Nazi party
