AndyM3000 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I didn't think he was that bad. Nice control, touch and played some decent passes, likes to get things going quick. I think we lacked options for him, he only really had Bacuna/Grealish to play too out wide and nothing through the middle. He's never been quick, I want him just sitting in midfield knocking it about and getting into space. Bit like what Robbie Keane did for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeParker91 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Was very off the pace for me and Jack got into the hole far more times too. Think Joe needs more game time after he missed a lot of pre season. Edited August 29, 2014 by JoeParker91 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 The trouble is his fitness due to constant injuries he never seems to get match fit. A real shame because he has the talent to make a difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 So er... where is Joe fitting in? Is he fit yet? We don't miss him so far and I can't really see him involved much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Cripes. I'd forgotten about this bloke after only 4 games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Cripes. I'd forgotten about this bloke after only 4 games! Ha, same! He must not be fully fit and up to speed in training, he hasn't even come on as a sub yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtysanchez Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Cripes. I'd forgotten about this bloke after only 4 games! Forgot about him myself actually! Hopefully he gets some game time in the fa cup perhaps.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Can't see him playing for us much at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Apparently he looked quite good in the few preseason matches he got. He would not be a bad option to have off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvillafan Posted September 15, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2014 Our burgeoning reputation as a team to be feared this season will see visiting teams sit deeper and deeper against us. In these games, Joe Cole is a very good option for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Think he was just left, I'm happy enough with Grealish and CNZ as our two attacking midfield options on the bench and you always need a striker on there. I do agree with Richard though I think he'll be struggling to even make the bench when Kozak and Benteke are fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobzy Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Joe Cole (32) scores goal for U21's. Love dat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Will definitely have a role to play this season. I think we will start seeing him come off the bench against the likes of QPR,Burnley and Palace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 If he's struggling to make the bench now, what chance when Benteke and Kozak are fit? Attacking players will have to be cut from the 18, Bent is an obvious one and I'd rather have CNZ and Grealish on the bench as attacking midfield options than Cole tbh.
