I'm more excited that Joe Cole has come back home.

Joe Cole should have signed his contract at Chelsea. He was important for us up until the point he left. Took the contract from Liverpool and they destroyed him.

I want him to get it back at West Ham because he's a good lad. There was a point around 2005-2007 when he was genuinely one of the best players of his type in Europe.

Read an article about how Mourinho ruined him; that journalist should caged. Young Joe Cole a tactical abomination before Mourinho.

Joe Cole got a couple of knee injuries at Chelsea and was never quite as good afterwards. Sort of like when Damien Duff kept dislocating his shoulder and was never the same. Joe Cole just isn't explosive anymore it doesn't seem:




Hope he does himself justice even if it is at West Ham.

One game. Two goals.

Torres. Fucked.

Haha.

You must be delighted.

Un-fucking-believable. We could've put this game to bed instead Utd go up the other end and score their routine last minute goals.

RVP is absolute class.

Early days but Ba wasn't even that good he just makes runs across the near post like any person who has played footy is told from the moment they kick a ball.

Even if he is shot he should be making near post runs. The fact that the bum has scored 14 goals the season despite nearly always being woeful goes to show how easy it is playing up top for Chelsea. We aren't a league winning team but we will tonk teams on a regular basis and everything is geared toward scoring goals and we've played half-a-season with a depressed pre-op masquerading as a centre-forward.

Delighted for Joe Cole today - ran things!

I refuse to go to any more united games, thats 4 i've been too and we have not won a single one (well technically we did beat Bayern in the 2nd leg 3-2 but we lost).

I still love Joe Cole, quality player but injuries maligned his career. Seriously skillful player.

Isco to Chelsea? Hope this isn't true.

Someone somewhere needs to ban us from the transfer market again. Courtois, De Bruyne, Davilla, Kalas, Wallace, Piazon, Kakuta. All players expensively aquired who will likely never ever play for Chelsea on a regular basis if at all.

No plan whatsoever. All this supposed long-term planning and they've persisted with a Spanish Flamenco Dancer as their only Striker and written off a season before January because bizarrely the playing staff in the first team squad is too small. Oh yeah, and they tried to loan Oscar out, ffs.

Always been a fan of Joe Cole, strange he was never really given a proper run in the team at Liverpool.

All I will say is that you're lucky that none of the self-righteous Gooner cunt posters are currently active.

Don't think Isco would be one that would be put in the category of the players you listed, he's pretty polished from what I've seen. I imagine he'd be wanting first team football if you did sign him.
