Carlton Cole

[Whiskyman]

FFS please don't tell me this is true?? the Daily Snail are saying that Cole's contract has already expired and he's not available to play against Newcastle.

If so, yet another embarrassing mess from Pinky, Perky and Allardyce????

Not a problem if he re signs, as opposed to resigns.

But, as you say, something of an embarrassing situation. Still at least we didn't overlook it and find ourselves facing another Omoyinmi situation.

He has 18 months.

Ah some good news

Well... what with the impending returns of Carroll, Reid and Collins (and of course Tomkins after he serves his ban) and hopefully the signing of another striker... I'll allow myself the unusual luxury of feeling a light tinge of mid-week optimism

this is also telling us fans that sam is also staying for another 18 months.

Or that Carlton is the main man for a promotion push should things go tits up

Personally I am pleased for him.
Generally you cant fault his effort.

Ok not the best, but then neither are we.

At least hes getting us some important goals at the minute.

Very pleased for Carlton.

Hope his recent good form continues on to saturday. Would be great to see him bang in a stopage time winner against Newcastle.

Cant remember the last time West Ham actually won a game with a injury time goal.
