West Ham To Make A SURPRISE Signing Of Former Star?
Posted on 14. Aug, 2008 by Milox in Premiership
Transfer rumours are circulating that West Ham could be set to make a sensational move to bring back former trainee and star player Joe Cole to Upton Park.
Since Phil Scolari took over as manager at Chelsea, Cole isn’t thought to be guarnteed a starting role. And if this remains the case when the campaign kicks off at the weekend, then this could spark interest from the Hammers in the England international, who is sure to want to play regular first team football.
Cole moved to Chelsea in 2003 following West Ham’s relegation from the Premier League in a £6million deal, and he has since appeared over 200 times for the Blues. However, he is destined to spend much of the upcoming season on the bench for Chelsea, so a move to another Premier League club may be the best option. Not only would a return to Upton Park please fans, it would help to ease some of the Hammers’ injury woes, with influential players such as Craig Bellamy sidelined for the start of the season.

you know what? i wish this would happen. we have a gaping hole in left midfield, chelsea are scum bla bla.
it will never happen.
BUT. if it does. i’d be so happy. joe cole grew up five minutes from me, thus making him west ham through and through. the sad thing is, coming back here would be a step down in his career. the fact that no other club shows interest is in insult.

Carry on like this and we will start to become as big a laughing stock as Totts Fans!
They do all this nonsense, start a rumour about making a massive signing then do things sell berbatov and keen!
Oh and defoe last year as well…
Joe wont come back to us because he has progressed much further than we have as a club. It would be a MASSIVE step backwards for him.
If chelsea dotn want him there are far larger clubs than us in La-liga serie A and yes the premier league (Tottenham ISNT one of those) etc that would love him.
But not as much as we still do…
Nope we have a season of either watching paint dry as we stumble to mediocrity or struggle against the drop…
Curbs cant attract flys let alone decent players.
