Whenever we signed sh!t players under the previous manager, it wasn't him wot did it it was someone else. Now we pull off a bit of a coup by nicking Joe Cole out of the clutches of two big London clubs, and it's nothing to do with Roy .
So presumeably Cole has said "I don't give a feck who is the manager or how he wants to play me, I don't give a feck what position it is, how often I'm going to play and whether I believe in him or not. Nah I'm just going to sign up and feck off up North, I've always fancied it up there ". Behave yourselves lads you're making yourselves look proper silly now.
Rafa Benitez football club supporters for definate.
"If you want to know about transfer targets, and how things are progressing, you'll have to ask [managing director] Christian Purslow because he's the man looking after those discussions, not me." - Roy Hodgson
So it WAS nothing to do with Roy then. Cole signed because he liked the cut of Purslows jib and it was nothing to do with our manager . Stop it fella, fecks sake you're not being serious surely
.
It was Benitez from last season approaching Cole to come... Combined with the evil plan of Purslows to run the club down financially and football wise by signing a risky player on huge wages ..
You see Mick, my take on it (and you gotta respect my opinion and all that remember) is that with Rafa gone, we have no one to fight for us inside the club... You have a manager who doesnt mind bringing in risky overpaid players like Joe Cole while letting talent like Insua go away for peanuts (5mill is nothing money but a free is not a free you see, its actually 19mill in disguise)... We also have a director of football whose sole purpose in life is to sign sht players for us and sell our best players (SOON, YOU WAIT AND SEE!!) ..
