AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 True, unless he's serious and would take a wage cut to become a key figure in a team. Never was there a more over rated player than Joe Cole Remember how he was the answer to our world cup prayers !! Yeah and maybe if he was given a start, he might of done something. :? Who knows, maybe if Harewood had been given a start, he might have done something as well. He and Cole probably played about as well as each other for the last twelve months. :? What a pointless post. Joe Cole has been consistantly excellent for England on the left and one of our best players for about 2 years before his injuries. Since then, I admit he's struggled but what the hell was the point of the comparison with Harewood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Joe Coles been shite for a while in all honesty. To be honest i've never seen him play "shite", just not up to the standards he is known for. This is similar to the Ashley Young debate really. :winkold: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Not really, Ashley Young provides goals one way or another. Joe Cole provides dick all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villadude Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Joe Cole's a cocky word removed, and an overated one at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabbygabbygabbygabbygabby Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I'm liking the negative response to Cole. I would not want him at Villa if he was on 30k a week. A complete luxury player these days, I'd rather see Albrighton given a step up than Cole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Never understood Joe Cole hype in all of his career. WHat does he do that makes him so special. He is a good player but not the creative genius his hype suggests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willman Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 To be honest about Joe Cole, he looked far more creative than any of the other England players when he was brought on. Maybe it was just a change in team mentality but when Cole came on England looked more dangerous offensively. He also played very well in the last few weeks of the league season in my opinion; he looked like he was coming back into form from his injury.

MCU Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Changing the player a bit here but why has nobody mentioned Clint Dempsey? He was linked with AC Milan in the paper yesterday after Hodgson leaving. Great replacement if we sold Milner and I doubt he would cost much either. Or even Michael Bradley or Landon Donovan perhaps? Those Americans aren't no pushovers, they really surprised me in the world cup - fair play to them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dante_Lockhart Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I think we should go after Belhadj. Pompey have just gone down and need money. And he really impressed me during the World Cup. Only 28. Would provide much needed competition for Warnock on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I wouldn't want Belhadj simply because he's a dirty bastard. Remember back when we thought Craig Gardner was a Villa fan, he took chunks out of his knees. One player I think we really should be putting an offer in for is Kevin-Prince Boateng. (Not just from his WC performances, I've wanted us to put an offer in for him since last season. He was one of Pompey's best players and is only 23) EDIT: Also - As we're going to be selling Sidwell, possibly Milner, Stan getting old, already sold Gardner & NRC possible leaving. He'd be a great bit of cover for centre midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belhadj never even got sent off for that ridiculous challenge on Gardner. Its one of the worst tackles ive ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fran_villa Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 id take Belhadj and Boateng,i think they are both very good players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabbygabbygabbygabbygabby Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I would like to see KPB and Milner in the middle, with Ash and Ireland out wide. I'm not saying it would definitely work but both are athletic players who will cover a lot of ground and are not afraid to put in a tackle, I would like it to be given a chance. Get rid of this stupid designated def mid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 5, 2010 Moderator Share Posted July 5, 2010 I thought Boateng and Belhadj were bound for Lazio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
