It appears that we have but a figure on any transfer for Cole of £500,000....
I think i read somewhere recently that Cole was the top score in Europe the last calendar year?Relapsed_Shrimp wrote:Cole I feel is having a once in a career season, he was good last year but to then out do that in a division above is beyond a joke in a footballers life.
If Cole can do it for a third year (hopefully in L1) or even come close I think a minimum of £1m is on the cards. I think a lot of reluctancy will be around to see how consistent he can be. True greats stand out across a period of time ... He's never blown anything away anywhere else he's been. For someone to come in and pay £500K now won't happen so I think we are safe there for January. If he carries it on to the summer, especially in a 'struggling' team then I think more clubs will sniff more seriously and possibly even a championship team who may loose their front man to a bigger club too.
Our board need to show some grit and not drop the price, however, if we go down (I don't think we will) so will the crowds sadly and the cash will be needed as we all know.
Anyway, if he does we will just bring Wayne Curtis out of retirement. Loved that bloke when he wasn't on the wing!!

Still think we valued Sam too cheaply despite his apparent wish to sign for Charlton according to C which both his mother and his agent father dispute in a conversation I and others had at the recent home game v Charlton.
However we could get a cash windfall IF he moves on at a later date....

A fee of circa £1million is far more realistic in todays market....anything less is literally giving the player away.
We don't need the cash at the moment so why don't we make it clear that Cole is NOT for Sale at such a bargain price. Every player has a price but £500K for a proven goalscorer is (in my opinion) far less than his true value.
