Carlton Cole

[TheProphet]

"Kevin Nolan says he'll do his best to make Carlton Cole move happen. If it works for #Notts. Interview on @Notts_TV News from 5.30"

Still only 33 so could be decent but has only played 8 games in 18 months, 4 of which were in America.

May be a bit fragile, especially for this level?

[Iremongersrighthand]

Always thought CC was a very good player - be great to see him at the Lane.

As a few have said, you'd hope he still has enough nouse and ability to make a difference at this level, even half-fit. Although that's been said about plenty before who've not cut it.

At 6' 3" and 13st 3lbs i'm not sure i'd call him fragile - particularly to his face. What worries me more is that his reported income in 2012 was £782,000. Could we afford him??

Nolan on embargo - "Hoping to give you some more news in the next 48/72 hours" #notts

Hopefully Nolan has had some free agents training with us all week just in case the embargo gets lifted today or tomorrow maybe Cole is one

"Hoping" means we aren't signing any players then. Hardy might as well take the boards off the stands saying "World's Oldest Football League Club"

Free agents can be signed anytime, wonder if that's our fallback position?

Released by US third tier side Sacramento.....

Doesn't say much but having said that he can't really be any worse than what we have

Hoping doesn't mean that at all.

[Iwantmypieback]

Well they are hopeful of news within 72 hours, where the transfer window closes in 96 hours so any slips and they happen regularly means we sign no one. And that means relegation

Don't forget your white flag Saturday if you can be bothered to turn up.

We can sign free agents after the window shuts i think provided they have been released before it closes

No it doesn't. Drama Queen.

Drama Queen? You think the sack of crap we call a squad will pick up another win this season?

When Hardy said it'll be sorted soon, I thought he meant before Crawley, I was very very wrong

[KeepTheMagpieFlyingH]

if he signs it's a case of getting 100% out of him..Carlton Cole can be a handful in any league if he can be @rsed.

So you think that this squad is going to get us out of trouble? I think your dementia is kicking in

If the club put a timescale on these things, posters would say they're being naive or they'll never hit the date/time, if they don't say anything, posters will say they're not doing anything.

Club can't win, posters continue to moan about how right they were.

I can actually feel the anger spewing out of my phone. You should have typed all in upper case to really make your point !
Calm down & stick the veins back in your neck 🙄

I suppose you would sooner have the previous regime running the club. At least AH is making a genuine effort to get the club out of this mess. But there are always plonkers who think otherwise....

Did I say that? No, AH is making an effort, I'm just saying that without reinforcement, we're down. I think we can all see that

You usually are, and wouldn`t you be delighted to be right about our relegation?

I expect AH was unaware of your thoughts or he would have moved quicker, let him know sooner when you next have a thought.

You think you know me do you? You'd be better off asking your missus chap ;-)

I may be in the minority here but, no, I can't see that just yet at all. Maybe it's 'all' except me?

Wierdo.

[tarquinbeech]

Wierdo.

I think all of our tempers are getting a little bit frayed........I haven't spent this much time on here (in the last 3 years), since Elite and I had a spat and chased each other around on different threads for a month......PLEASE AH, just settle the bills and bring in 2 centre-backs and a decent midfielder.

One of my sheep gave birth this morning and I missed it because I was on here for three hours!!

3 working days and counting.....grrrrrrr

[Lullapie]

More like Carton Duffy, Carlton Tootle, Carlton Dickenson, Calrton Hollis, Carlton Campbell, Carlton Hewitt, Carlton Arborah for next season, where they belong. Carlton Town FC

[Iwantmypieback]

Well I was the meat between tour's and LaxtonLad's missus'

Cole has replied to the BBC tweet about him saying it isn't true. Disappointing.

So is Kevin Nolan making these stories up (about talking to him to see if a deal can be done) ?

The usual smoke and mirrors about signings.

Being so early on in his reign, I can't see why he would lie about this. Maybe Cole isn't interested so used that post to knock back the claims.

Would be fantastic if we did sign him. See what the next few days bring.

To be fair Kevin Nolan never said we were signing him.

He was probably asked by a reporter whether his mate would be joining him and he basically said "he's a good lad, we've been chatting and I need to have a word with him to see if he's interested" The reporter then reports that we are looking to sign him.

Looks like Carlton might get a return to the Premier League instead...
