Leicester City 1 West Ham United 2 (23/04/12)

Did Stoke ever make an actual bid? Even if they did, its extremely unlikely Cole would be playing ahead of Crouch, Jones or Jerome.

Yeah, but his signing would have affected the decision to not sign the other 3, wouldn't it?

Yep, so did Liverpool and Fulham if you believe what you read. At one point Cole would have been seen by most as a better player than those you have mentioned

We accepted the bid for Cole from Stoke, he didn't want to go there. A bad role model for Newham.

They must be praising the gods they never signed him

But those self acclaimed "journalists" said the other week that boos rang out loudly didn't they ? And Utj was on here asking if anyone heard it because he was at the game and never did.

If you look at CH round up some of the reports are virtually identical. Makes you wonder who made up the story first ..
