Well that was fun while it lasted

The Carlton Cole who played for West Ham wouldn't be the same one who would have turned out for us in any case. He's barely played in a season and a half.

Well that's put that to bed finally! Now for some defenders, a Defensive Midfielder and a winger!

 

I can't say I'm bothered, I said to JJ that I felt it was being sensationalised - I mean really, like I said in the transfer piece I wrote he's the exact style of signing we would have made under the last regime. You can't sign players based on their name, reputation or just because they've played in an higher league.

He could have done a job but there was a risk.

I hope that we are looking into players who are available, either as free agents or free transfers. It would be nice if we had a bit to spend, though I won't get ahead of myself with that department. I just think it would make a chance to capture someone another club didn't want out. Plenty of good players go for lower fee's, for a mix of various reasons. I was never sold on the 'best to buy free players' or better to release them without obtaining a fee either.

It's quite simple, here's how I think it went.

Media: Will you be signing anyone or using your contacts?
KN: Perhaps, I've been speaking to Carlton Cole recently.
Media: Would you like to sign him?
KN: I'd love to bring him to Notts, Cole and I go back along way and we are good friends.

Then the sensationalism kicks in, is there any clear dialogue anywhere to what Kevin Nolan said? It sort of makes me grumpy that Nolan should be branded but the BBC seem to walk clean from spreading the rumour. Sometimes people stretch the truth, myself & JJ learned this recently when John Thompson didn't like a headline. :/
