    Looked to be missing more than a bit of match sharpness - first touch didn't look good at times (johansen or someone played a really simple ball along the ground into his feet with his back to a defender and he managed to lose it).

    Having said that, he seems like he's going to be the new fans favourite (me included!)

    Hasn't played since May so his sharpness and touch will have been effected by that but he came on and instantly made a difference with his presence. Good option to have.

    Even though he is very experienced i would say his short cameo showed how he needs a few more games and that he definitely had some nerves.

    Some of his touches had more to do with nerves than match sharpness for me.

    Hate how people say he hasent played in ages he won't be sharp, no touch ect. He's clearly still training, he was a trialist so clearly played bounce games. Now are you going to attain it's not real competitive games and he's not up to the mighty high level of Inverness.

    All pish. Cole is past it there was a reason nobody wanted him but us. He will do nothing in a Celtic jersey and all you guy actually know this but are getting excited by a catchy song.

    He is pish and always has been - those are the harsh truths . Ask any West Ham fans -i took a serious ribbing when we signed him .

    Just going by the career path of the majority of big centre forwards. He looked way off the pace today.

    West Ham are my second team (sort of )due to where i live and i work with a lot of proper West Ham fans . My opinion of him is based on years of watching him and hearing people slagging the * out of him on Monday mornings .

    He's 32 years old a very known quantity .
