    Hmmmm not exactly the "big name" signings we were looking for Lew but I reckon you may have read the tea-leafs right . . . . . .

    I really dont think we will make any big name signings vis ! our wage structure wont allow it and i am ok with that fact all the way, because i love this club and i dont want to see it in any danger of being in debt up to the hilt.
    Cole comes free ! with maybe a signing on fee, so you have to go along with the fact that he may get £100,000 per week but over say 3 years it will work in our favour ! (you cant have it both ways you know )
    Bellamy is a bit of a worry ! he is a quality player but finds trouble with fellow players, i really wouldnt want the side disturbed by a trouble maker, but if anyone can make the bloke buckle down its our "arry "

    In my heart of hearts i wouldnt want either of them but as sir jim says "whoever wears the shirt ! i will support.

    I like the squad we have and feel that Cole & Bellamy are 2 signings who could double-handidly unsettle the team ethic with-in it. I am not a fan of Bellamy the person yet do recogonise his ability as a player, and as you know I rate Cole extremley highly but wonder where he would fit in ? Saying that I won't be disapointed if he does sign, but Bellamy I won't be over enthused about . . .. . . . .

    I agree with you both. Bellamy is a worry for me as he brings a lot of baggage of fallouts with former players he worked with. As for Joe Cole I still don't know where he will fit in. If rumours are correct he will want to play in central midfield. That being the case who drops out? We know Modders can play on the left and Harry has said he prefers Bale at left back so maybe that is the way Arry will go. There is of course an unanswered question as to what will happen to BAE? It is quiet on here at the moment but as you say Lew its the quiet before the storm. Once the season starts it will be elbow room only on here and the Chat box will be in full flow again. BRING IT ON.

    i would of said yes to bealmy last season but now we have to many options on the left. plus he wil wana play most games so i say no same with cole. hes not worth breakin our wage structure for. hes done nuffin for chealsea in the last season and even they say hes not been good.
    of the 2 i would take bealmy as he scores goales everywhere and he had great season last seaon and he hates john terry lol but i wont be botherd if we dont get him.
    im happy with the sqaud i just want harry to give the carling cup to the reserves

    I like both players actually but I don't think Bellamy is really the answer to strengthening the front line. I'm not sure who you'd play him alongside and he's never really struck me as the type of player who forms a good understanding with a strike partner.

    Having said that, stranger things have happened and he does have a great work ethic. He's also a confrontational player, gets right in your face, and I like that in a player too.

    I do want Cole though. I don't see him as a player that will bring anything but a greater competition in midfield. He is a work horse and is extremely talented. His form may not have been great with Chelsea but there's an old adage, 'Form is temporary, Class is permanent.'

    Need I remind you of the form dips some of our better players have had? Dawson being the prime example.

    Cole brings an added dimension, he likes to get forward but also works back. He can play in any position across the middle and can also provide enough ammunition to allow us to play with one striker and dominate the midfield with 5.

    His addition allows us to move Jenas and Bentley on, as he is better than both, and allows us to be able to change formation. Often enough I've read on here the laments as we never had a Plan B or C to break down a stubborn defence or to rescue a game.

    Well here you go.

    The other thing is, unless its a team lower in the prem, he wont be guaranteed a starting place, Harry does have the knack of keeping players happy whilst not playing them every week.

    I dont think Bellamy will sign thats just media crap, but Harry has confirmed that talks are ongoing with the transfer of Joe Cole coming to Spurs, which i believe will happen.
