@ Martin:

I personally would quie like him to say something like:

“I am delighted to be signing a new contract. I hope to repay the manager and the fan’s faith in me”

amongst a few other niceties that can always be overlooked.

It is about time you pulled you finger out and “knuckled down” Carlton, because so far you have been a shocking signing

I can’t believe you wasted your time and mine slagging off Carlton Cole!!! I think the boy had a great game at Sunderland, is improving all the time and always gives 100% for us. What kind of comments do you expect from a footballer who’s just signed a new contract? No players ever say anything worth commenting on to the media, they’re not the brightest people on the planet, they’re footballers! I do wish people would stop coating our players so much it really does no-one any good at all.

I do not think for one minute that CC will be with us for the next 2 years let alone 5. It is true that his game has improved greatly over the last 2 seasons, but he will never be a goalscorer as he is not good enough to be a complete striker. He has worked very hard to become a handful for defenders,thats all, and I would never question his effort and work rate but West Ham need a player far superior in his position. I had him down with several other players who are not good enough to be moved on in January to make way for some much needed class.CC does,fortunately, have his admirers and may well go quickly.

Freddyfreddy, unlike Fourteen12 i think your comments, on what we have seen of Cole todate, are spot on.
If he’s improving week in and week out then he’s obviously not giving 100% is he. Sadly, as for hold up play, Carlton Cole couldn’t trap a bag of cement – nor could he hit a cows backside with a banjo!!!
That said….none of our other so called strikers seem capable of displacing Cole to the bendh. It’s time and an opportunity, for any of our pool of strikers to prove to Zola and the fans that they should be first on the team sheet. The midfield are chipping in and the defence are finally keeping a few clean sheets. Time now for the forwards to play their part !!

@ Fourteen12:

the trouble is, if you put me in a west ham shirt, i would give more than 100%. a lot more.

although it is very admirable, his work rate alone does not make him a player worth keeping. if he was holding the ball up wel then ok. if he was making assissts, then ok. if he was scoring, then ok.

but he doesnt do any of those, he just works hard

surely there has to come a time where someone realises that for all his effort, he doesnt actually produce anything.

so frustrating
