    Definitely one of the best 6-months strikers we've had, up there with Keane and Bellamy, if not better.

    Wish we could have kept him for longer.

    Was actually thinking about him yesterday, so weird to think we had him last season and now we have Dembele :giggle1: shows how much can change in just a season.

    It is pretty insane.

    Kazim Richards and him in the same window. Shows that the board were just slowly giving up on Deila months before he went.

    Maybe.

    It could also be that better targets didn't want to come to us at the time.

    Unsure.

    Could have been panic 'buys' but some of the worst examples ever. Neither made any sense. Proper heid scratchers.

    Ronny had him on trial for about 2 * months and decided he was worth a deal. How people can try and shift the blame away from him baffles me.

    He was dreadful. Kazim was so much better than him but he was also so bad.

    Perhaps aye but why were we even considering players like him and CKR in the first place ?

    I don't believe it was solely down to him.

    Because Ronny thought he needed a different option up front. He said as much himself.

    I was happy. At that point I had enough faith in Ronny that he'd know a footballer from Carlton Cole after a 2 month trial. Apparently not though.

    Maybe Cole proved enough in that 2 month trial enough to make Ronny as happy as you were to offer him a contract?

    I was happy based off what I'd seen of a young Carlton Cole and trusting Ronny's judgement. Not the point anyway, it's * still trying to deflect his shortcomings away from him.

    It's something that fried my brain. Imagine we supplied that same notion to Rodgers? The players put that belief into themselves, the players choose how to play, Lawwell signed Dembele and Sinclair etc etc.

    Cole clearly had a bit of ability earlier in his career and would have been a decent striker for us, but I think he looked majorly off the pace in his brief cameo with us. Think he needed a full preseason under his belt and I'd still rather him than Ciftci.
