Ashley Cole is almost certainly to leave Chelsea in the summer.

Would you take him (as a player) on a two year deal if he agreed to a wage reduction? Or failing that, if we sold Johnson for example to free up some wages?

[C-R]

Simple answer.. Yes

[Stu the Red]

In a word. NO! He's a disgrace to the profession and a complete *****!

[RedSi35]

And his beard is a crime, B.A.Baracus wannabe

[maypaxvobiscum]

Nope. We can do better - Ricardo Rodriguez or Luke Shaw.

[JC_81]

No. He's a scumbag and I wouldn't want him anywhere near us.

[lakes10]

Luke Shaw is a better deal in my view

[red till i die!!]

god no 

[SouthCoastShankly]

He's still a decent player but he brings so much baggage with him. I just can't see how it would turn out well

[ethanr]

If his wages were shrunk to no more than 70-80k, and if we used him as a back up. We need a better LB and he's probably better than what we've got, so I'd say it may be worth the risk depending on wages.

We need to be realistic tho, I don't see Shaw coming here considering chelsea will offer more to Southampton, and double his wages, and he's a chelsea fan.

[ConnO'var]

No thanks... he is too old for the position. And I really have no time for someone with limited intelligence and comes with a lot of off field baggage.

It would be another Cole disaster like Joe

[Santa]

An inflated price for Shaw is better bet than signing ca$hly on high wages on a multi-season contract.

It would be another Cole disaster like Joe

There is a reason he is not playing first choice at Chelsea, like we found out with Cole 90K a week later.

Buy quality instead that's the one position needs reinforcing.

[kazza]

I don't think that will ever happen and he will now only get worse.
