I just heard that he's out for 4 months with an injury. Bull****?

A bidding war between WHU and NUFC would be grand.

Heard where? There has been no word about him being withdrawn from the England squad/a replacement being called up.

There has sadly:

Ah well, hopefully it won't affect any potential transfer!

[dww]

Yeah, I doubt a heel injury puts him out for 4 months (in any sense other than that there is a lack of football for much of that time).

Sky this morning saying that he could be out for up to 6 weeks, which is not ideal but better than 4 months and technically he can't sign for a club until the transfer window opens on July 1st anyway.

Isn't that article wrong in that it claims Andy is West Ham's leading scorer with 7 goals. I thought Nolan had at least 10?

Most likely some joker taking advantage of the lack of detail in the news.

Carlton Cole has been released. This is looking more likely

Cole is a good player and was one of the players I was watching and we were looking at a lot of forwards, he was one I watched and we talked about but we didn't make any particular move for him.

At Liverpool we are always linked with every player but I do like Carlton Cole and think he's a good player but there was no offer made for him.

Urrrrgggghhh I remember when we were being linked with the likes of Carlton Cole and Kemwyn Jones

[Pablo]

I still wouldn't rule out Newcastle and even Spurs making a bid for him either. Think we might sneak the £17m out of him after all

Carlton Cole ffs.

Dark, dark times.
