nazvfc Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 That's funny because I swear I saw him make some good tackles - even after he lost the ball he ran after the player and won it back. He linked up well. Decent game. But what do I know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He linked up well. Decent game. But what do I know. He did have a decent game, the odd mistake, but he definitely got stuck in with some good challenges when they were looking to press and his assist was good. When he came on there were a few around me ready to mock him but I feel he still has something positive for us, particularly when seeing games out.

HanoiVillan Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 He both made excellent tackles and needlessly lost the ball. Both things are possible in one performance, they aren't mutually exclusive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted August 28, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 28, 2015 I've provided a detailed description of those involved to the powers that be. I suspect maybe it was because he replaced Traore, tough act to follow. The mutterings were generally about his legs going, jumping straight away on the occasional mistake made, "how's he going to help" and so on. They were fairly quiet regarding the more positive impact he had. I like Joe, he's always seemed like one of the "good guys". He still got a great eye for a neat pass to unlock a defence and he's not scared to stick a foot in to nip the opposition's attack in the bud. It's been said before, but Grealish has said himself that Cole being at Villa is a great help to him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Joe Cole has held talks with Tim Sherwood over his Aston Villa future and is keen to join a Championship club on loan.Cole is determined to kick-start his career after struggling to figure in Sherwood’s plans and Villa will consider a short-term move for the former England international.The 33-year-old - who signed a two-year contract with Villa in June 2014 - has not started a game since Sherwood’s appointment in February and made only one appearance this season, as a substitute in the Capital One Cup against Notts County. Cole is fully fit, however, and has met with Sherwood and made it clear he wants to be allowed out for some first-team football.Sherwood is understood to have sympathy for the midfielder and will sanction a deal if a Championship club makes a move. Cole’s Villa contract is worth around £20,000 a week.Villa will also consider loan moves for other fringe players, including Charles N’Zogbia, Kieran Richardson and Philippe Senderos, as Sherwood bids to trim his squad.Sherwood said: “If someone wants to take one of these players who are not going to play on a regular basis then I would have to decide whether it would be right for the club to let them go.”Joe Cole is off Edited September 30, 2015 by dudevillaisnice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 He is better than that. What a sad way for a career to dwindle out. In hindsight, should have gone to the MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Good move for Coventry - should slot in nicely seeing as Mowbray's got them playing football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post markavfc40 Posted October 16, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) Fair play to him. He is a model professional and clearly just wants to play football at whatever level. I hope he stays injury free for a while and gets back to doing what he loves.

Mark Albrighton Posted October 16, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 16, 2015 Hope he gets some match time. Joe always comes across like a good guy. Even though it was in the twilight of his career, I'm pleased I got to see him play for us. There's still a touch of class about him which was lovely to see.Best of luck Joe. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Like Joe Cole but let's face it he is finished. Can't last longer than 20 minutes gets injured all tge time. Bad signing in my opinion. But I have no ill feelings towards Joe Cole whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) seems like a really decent guy, but his presence didn't really affect us in the same way Robbie Keane's impact did.I wish him well. Edited October 17, 2015 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
