Joe Cole to West Ham??

West Ham have emerged as shock contenders to re-sign midfielder Joe Cole from Chelsea. The player, who swapped Upton Park for Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2003, is out of contract this summer.

Can't see this one happening. He is going to want European football and if he was to leave Chelsea, he would be a free transfer so therefore could command a high salary

He's still a Hammer at heart so you never know, hey? Can't see it happening though.

It's not the first time I've heard this rumour. No idea if it's true or not, but I'd be happy to see him wearing claret & blue again.

We'd have to change one of the lines of the "Blue Flag" song, though.

If only that were true. Footballers today are mercenaries, they are merely visitors and in most cases have a passion only for their wallets.

I was told years ago that his family are from North Herts & are all Hammers - again, I can't verify the truth of that statement. All I will say is that he might be better used at a club like West Ham, where he'd be a more important part of the team, than at Chelsea, where he seems to be surplus to requirements a lot of the time.

And does this post look weird to anyone else? The layout, not the content.

He seems pretty sanguine about the issue... he probably has been told it will be a fine if found guilty...

Oh, he'll worm out of it, no doubt. But there'll be a lot of laughter if he doesn't.

Yes I suspect you are right... its quite embarrassing really. he ought to be a club owner doing that sort of stuff...

Yeah. Like a club being the only asset of a bankrupt country................

theres more chance or kieron dyer getting a new contract than cole joining!
