Ashley Cole (Out)

[YeahBee]

F******g hell, am I the only one that can see the utter madness in selling Cole to Chelsea? For the extra £10m or so that Chelsea are willing to pay, only a small amount will be added to our already sufficient transfer budget and even then - what does it guarantee?!? You just don't go selling your best and most consistent players (who have yet to even reach their prime) to your biggest rivals. Period.

Mourinho took the piss out of our manager and now we're doing him favours?? (like that money's really gonna hurt his pocket!). As was said before, complaining from the rafters about Chelsea's behaviour only to shut up and bend over when they come waving a cheque book is not the sign of a club with any sort of self-respect. We're better than that surely? Even after Gerrard handed in a transfer request and Chelsea came in with a £35m bid, they still told them to f***k off. I personally don't give a f***K about Cole's relationship with the board. I'm only interested in how he performs on the pitch. If his relationship with the board affects his performances on the pitch - then it's a different matter. However, he still gets on with the players, he's joined up with the camp in Austria, what's the big deal. Let's get on with the business of playing football!

Where's the sense in strengthening a rival we're already desperately trying to catch? If we did equal damage to them, by taking Essien and Gallas then maybe - but still, the idea of it stinks. As it happens Roberto Carlos has just confirmed in an interview that he will be staying with Real Madrid after having had talks with Capello, so it looks like we either keep Cole or do business with the enemy of football.

Your are not the only one mate, if he still can do tyhe job then let him finish his contract then leave. By then Clichy and Traore has matured even more andwwe don't have to buy a replacmement

yup, agree , rather keep him till his contract runs out , then sell him to Chelsea. It's a job and you don't have to like your boss or the your work.

 

[Army of Me]

ok.

so we keep him until his contract runs out and then what? he join's chelsea for free and we get **** all for it?

i'd rather take the £30mil now than having to put up with him for 2 more years.

 

[Arsenalguru]

MARCA : Wenger prefer to sell Cole to Madrid

[asajoseph]

It depends.

Honestly, if the extra 10 million from Chelsea would be properly invested in the squad, I'd be happier to sell him to them.

But then if we're just going to bank it anyway, I'd rather he went to Madrid and we got less.

 

[gunnerturk]

Since RC told he wouldn't be going to Fenerbahce as he wants to stay with Capello (the news was on several turkish papers today) possibilities of Madrid signing ca$hley must be slim.

 

[karl]

If I was in charge at Madrid, I would buy Cole for £16m and then sell on to the Bridge at a vast profit. We should just sell him to the highest bidder.

 

[GUNNERS4L1FE]

When does he get back from his honeymoon

 

[Grampus_Eight]

When does he get back from his honeymoon

He's not coming back to Arsenal, so who cares. He's either back in London sorting out the negotiations with Barnet or he's already out in LA recording some duets with Cheryl (DJ Masterstepz to spin and produce) until he can join up with all his chav amigos.

ashlet cole is my favourite ever player

oh here is the link to unofficial chelsea forum , (just thought make it easier for you, I know you're busy and all that stuff)

http://www.cfc-net.co.uk/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=7

Enjoy yourself mate . :thumbup

man that forum looks hideus

ya man it looks disgusting man ARSENAL MANIA rocks :respect


Back to the topic i know we shouldnt sell cole to chelsea
BUT 30mill is a lot of money

And i seriously dont mind selling cole if we get Gallas

 

[Jameel46]

Roberto Carlos is gonna stay at Real
http://home.skysports.com/list.asp?hlid ... ep+it+Real

so £25mil from chelsea for cole would be a good deal.
Chelsea hope to sign Arsenal defender Ashley Cole for £25m this week. (The Sun)

 

[YeahBee]

ok.

so we keep him until his contract runs out and then what? he join's chelsea for free and we get **** all for it?

i'd rather take the £30mil now than having to put up with him for 2 more years.

Yeah keep him for 2 years and by then we don't have to spend any money on a replacement. So by giving up a huge fee from Chelski we "pay" for Clichy/Traores further developement into starters. And there is no chance even if we did get 30m for him we could sign an equally good LB

 

[YeahBee]

It depends.

Honestly, if the extra 10 million from Chelsea would be properly invested in the squad, I'd be happier to sell him to them.

But then if we're just going to bank it anyway, I'd rather he went to Madrid and we got less.

And tbh if they get Cole to play LB isntead of Gallas/Del Horno that wouldn't be such a huge improvement anyhow. So I see your reason in selling to them to get more money to build the squad.

 

[Me<--]

I'm going to call him ****ly cole from now on i think

 

[AFCG7]

Chelsea are strong anyway..dont think signing Cole will make a huge difference.
But £30 million for Arsenal to use will make a massive difference.

 

[GUNNERS4L1FE]

On SSN it says that Cole left the arsenal training ground earlier today within an hour of arriving

let's hope it's because all the other players kicked him out.

It's like turning up for school on a holiday. Everyone's in Austria, why would he hang about?

 

[YuenBiaoFan]

To train, maybe?

Aren't the boys coming back from Austria tonight? Or anyday now.

To be frank the only people there are the kids and the guys recovering from injuries, it could be that he was just sent home. At least the little bugger turned up.
