Maybe Mr Cole could solve the West Ham left-back dilemma, no not Carlton Cole or Joe Cole but Ashley Cole!
The former England left-back has just been released by LA Galaxy after his contract at the Major League Soccer club expired.
The club decided not to exercise an option to re-sign the 37-year-old, along with seven other players after he rejected a reduced pay deal.
The former Arsenal and Chelsea defender joined LA Galaxy in 2016 and was named the captain in March, two months after signing a one-year contract extension. Cole scored three goals in 86 appearances for the US club.
According to the Sun, Cole was earning £10,900 a week in LA but they offered him just £5,000 per week to stay which he turned down.
Of course, I am joking about Cole signing on a free transfer or at least I hope I am.
We trust there is no room in the West Ham squad for a 37-year-old and hopefully he will finally gracefully retire from football
Just heard from a friend from across the pond that an enquiry has been made from a club from London regarding Ashley Cole
Just heard from a friend across the pond that a London club has made an equiry at LA Galaxy over his contract
I hope you are joking unless it is Millwall or Leyton Orient
I heard we are signing George Cole… AND Her indoors.
And Nat King Cole
Not forgetting Old King Cole……then again perhaps that is Ashley Cole 🤔🤔
As for retiring gracefully you must be havin’ a larf. When did he last do anything gracefully.
Apart from when was playing at his best. Then he was actually some player.
