Fred,

I read on a Beglian website that Joe Cole has signed for Arsenal, don't know if it is true.

I am aware of our interest in him, but i haven't heard that we signed him yet.

On one hand he's a free agent, so he would sound like a Wenger type signing, on the other hand though, he is asking for 100k a week for wages. I doubt we would be willing to pay him that much, so unless he agrees to take a pay cut, i don't believe we will sign him.

I'm not sure what to think of that, he seems to be getting a lot of good press, but i haven't seen him in action enough to form a sound judgment.

You should forget about him, he isn't good enough for Arsenal ;)
Arsenal should just leave him for us and focus on Cole.

I'm pretty sure 90% of the people here, that are drooling over him, me included, have not seen more than 3 games of this guy in the last year. So don't beat yourself up, join the hype. :excited:

In the 2008/09 season, EPL teams spent 67% of their income on wages.

Operating profits fell by half for EPL clubs in that season.

Teams in the Championship are spending 90% of their income on wages. It's no wonder Aberdeen can't compete with them when they are willing to take stupid risks like that.

I can't wait for it to all come tumbling down.

110% agree. EPL is the new Serie A.

Indeed.

It is also unsustainable for Italy to keep paying top wages when clubs are getting such utterly pathetic attendances.
