He's had a great career, and im really happy he's at the club, but to put him in the team straight away, isnt that a bit unfair to our other strikers. He will be a quality player for us in this league and maybe if we go up in the Premiership also, but DJC, Jerome,Vine and Forssell, will all feel pretty gutted, as their the ones that will be left out for Cole, don't get me wrong, iv got full confidence in Cole as a player, its just the fact that we have other players who have worked extremely hard this season just to get into the team, and Cole is just going to walk into the team straight away, seems a bit slack on our other players to me.

Well we know Bendtner will start (it must be written in his loan contract), and Cole will also start because Steve always plays wor big players. Regardless of who we are playing, and how they play.

Its unfair, but until we go behind, thats the way we do it.

He should go straight into the team, irrespective of the others. We have bought him to do a short-term job of scoring goals and using his experience to help the other players. He has 8 games to do that so he should play.

The others will get their chance. They have the rest of their careers in front of them and they could learn a lot from Cole and benefit in the long term.

These comments in the Birmingham Mail might also point to the type of player we are getting:

Cole has won every domestic trophy and the European Cup in a goal-laden career. He said he was hungry for more and would utilise his experience to help as Blues attempt to keep their nerve and hold off their rivals at the top.


"I am hoping to bring as many goals as I can," he said. "And I will try to get the lads to play and believe in themselves. As it's so tight, it's that squeaky bum time. That stage in April is coming up.


"I will be one to be there, to stand up and be counted. If they see me do that, being prepared to put myself on the line then hopefully it will encourage them to do it as well."

I should think the rest of the league are quite worried about us acquiring Mr. Cole's services, I can see him doing very well for us in the run in, Jeeves, I say Jeeves.....

Well to be fair, we have spent over 2 million on Vine, 3 million on Jerome and the same with Forssell, and a small amount of money in comparision on DJC, but still we have payed lots of money on these guys all together, and to not play them does slightly void our reasoning to buy them and doesnt instill a great confidence in them. I hope Cole comes in and scores 7 or 8 goals, that would be fantasic, but im just trying to say that when you invest heavily in players you should play them, as it makes them seem like a waste of space.

Spot on. We bought him to do a job. Let him get on with it.

true

but at the moment our scoring rate is not good enough

if they were all banging in the goals then i would say yes - they can feel a little let down
