Great signing, will be great for the younger lads to train with some one like Andy Cole.

His experience will be valuable, and maybe our young strikers could learn a thing or two.

I'm a bit sceptical, I hope he does'nt turn into another Sutton but if he does the business then I'll be happy.

Does anybody know how many appearances/goals he has this season? Do we have to wait for him to be match fit I wonder ;)

Best of luck Andy **thumbup

Well that was totally unexpected before today.

Great signing though and if it means Forssell can go out on loan and get fit for next season all the better.

Welcome Andy! **thumbup

Good signing, just what was needed up front. Hopefully it will cap our season off and he'll bag a few crucial goals.

I'm sure his experience will be invaluable and like others have said, good for the other lads to train alongside **thumbup

Im not sure why we think we need him,

our strikers have nearly all proved themselves at this level - vine has scored 15 goals this season, jerome scored over 20 last season, forsell well speaks for its self, bendntner not ours anyway, DJ campbell hardly a youngster at 25..just my thoughts

Better than nothing. Great signing Brucie (or is it Gold's work)

Another medal for his collection lets hope....and not a play off one!

A good addition to the squad,if he can chip in with a few goals that help us up then it`ll be hailed as a master stroke,if not then we`ve lost nothing really.

Always admired him as a model pro,never `goes missing` when things dont go his way which is more than can be said of a lot of strikers.

Good signing, but will he make a huge difference?

Are our forwards really not firing? Or does the problem lie elsewhere? :whistle:

Redknapp said Cole was unhappy about not starting at Pompey, which means he expects to here, and if I was one of the other 5 strikers I'd be well peed off. At the end of the day though, if he puts away a few goals it will be a good signing, but I don't think like some saying, it already is, particularly at £20k per week

Simple facts:
Our defence has proven itself good enough this season. We even won games when Tebily played.
Our tactics are too. We don't concede many goals, we are difficult to break down. Bet West Brom wish they were. All this guff about a 'creative' midfielder - who? We don't need one. You need strength and Koumas, the best there is, plays for another club.
When we went top in Oct./Nov, the front three were firing. They are not now.
Forssell isn't right, isn't ready.
Cole is the perfect sort of player we need - a goalscorer. None of the others are genuine goalscorers, Forssell apart - but three seasons ago, not now.
I think this signing could make all the difference. The other strikers are off the boil, young and inexperienced and do not have the quality Cole has. Cannot believe people are criticising this signing.
Assuming our defence stays solid, then Cole can take the chances that have gone begging, turning 1-0s or salvaging draws into 2-0s so stopping panic and edginess.

Read all the posts on here and this is the best one imo. :applause:

O'h and by the way I cannot believe some of the Contradictary posts from some on here. wtf**

Who cares if the other players are peeved !!

jerome : strong purposeful IMO our most threatening foward

djc :raw goal scorer ALWAYS give 110% however its plain to see bruce does not trust him - a better threat from the bench IMO

bentdner : an amazing talent - however IMO looks either tired or not interested at the moment - not doing it either way

vine- runs all day - a bit of a disapointment to me - if i am honest

forsell - not fit - forget him

i can appreciatte peoples views on passing midfield players etc but we have to accept that bruce is not going to play one !!

is the aquad better with cole in it ? will he be a better option and give us more class up front ? better movement up front ( a major problem IMO ) ? has he strengthened our chances of going up

YES imo of course

he certainly hasnt damaged them has he ?

They probably do, and it's got to be considered. Some fans appear to support Blues looking down a narrow tunnel, and don't give a stuff about anything else except the result. In one respect more competition for places is good, but Bruce may have another challenge ahead in keeping the troops happy

i actually think bruce has done this more for the experience benefit than anything else.

i might be wrong, but i cant see him scoring a lot of goals ....

personally, i would like to see a combination of vine, dj and jerome up there. after all, they are OUR players .. young players who need to GAIN experience. not much experience to be gained on the bench, methinks ...
