More to the point, he would be as he himself is a massive arrogant idiot, who hides behind being ‘secret’ because a bang average journeyman wouldn’t sell books, or get away with telling the stories he does! My overriding memory of Cole is watching Sky footage of one of our games against Chelsea in the cup. He chatted individually to all of the mascots / kids milling around in the tunnel pre game while others from both sets of teams ignored them.

ollycutts1982 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Good signing for me. A friend of mine bumped into him at a water park and then in a hotel in Dubai in 2006. Said what a good bloke he was, when he saw him in the hotel lobby (apparently was waiting for Chezza to get ready) sat and bought him a drink and chatted football for a fair while. My mate said he was surprised how much interest Cole showed in him when he always had the impression he was self indulgent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 He's very shouty Ashley Cole is. When he's chasing attackers he barks at them in a loud high pitched "oi oi ay ay oi oi arghhhhh" kind of thing like some kind of rabid terrier. They don't like it these attackers. They don't like being shouted at. You listen at Pride Park - you'll hear him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 The aging Stephen Warnock turned out to be pretty sound. Given that Ashley is a level above and some, then for 6 months I am flipping delighted by the skill and experience he will bring. If you’re going to sign an aging Veteran then why not sign the best of a generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely but if Chris Baird won't sign a new short term contract - go for Ashley Cole instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuffLuff Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I can say this for any profession but one persons ‘arrogance’ is another persons ‘works to get things domd’. Everyond has an opinion and you aren’t gonna keep everybody happy. But if you can back it up, how are you arrogant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I can't wait to see him play. I think Cole will be asked to sit and defend protecting the left side and giving us almost a back 3. This will allow Bogle to get further forward. A bit like Wisdom and Forsyth during the good season. It's also nice knowing that if Cole does venture forward he isn't too bad at crossing either.

MK Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I do think he's a player that people love to hate but i quite like having those players on our team. He'll get other fans worked up over nothing, which should get our fans fired up and create a good atmosphere. Kinda of like Savage but hopefully miles better.

I've never heard of any players or managers having a problem with him. As far as I'm aware he's a very serious footballer and a true professional. Is it because he left Arsenal for more money? Obviously at the time I was very hurt and upset but the passing years have healed my pain. Is it because he cheated on his wife 15 years ago? Who's business is that? And who amongst us can honestly say we've never done the same? That's right, none. In 6 weeks we'll all be saying Ashley is the best left back in the Championship. You mark my turds. She deserves it for that absolutely gash arse tattoo... It's like slapping a F**est sticker on the Mona Lisa!!! I find it hard to fathom why people aren't happy about us signing the most complete left back this country's ever produced simply because he's a little on the old side (nobody gave Giggs poo when he played til he was 40) and he's perceived to be arrogant. I couldn't care less, he's the only fullback ever to consistently shackle Ronaldo, I think he'll be ok coming up against the likes of Callum McManaman...

But there was that one time in the mls recently where Jonny Russel turned him inside out. That was quite sweet. I’ll put that down to Jonny’s brilliance though, and give Ashley a pass on that one.
