CARLTON COLE CONSIDERING PL OFFER

West Brom linked, but I'd be very surprised if Malky isn't interested after the trouble Cole caused our own defence when playing in the Championship.

Carlton Cole's agent has confirmed to Sky Sports that the former West Ham United striker is weighing up an offer from an unnamed Premier League club.

Cole is available on a free transfer after seeing out his contract at Upton Park earlier this summer.

The appearance of an England international on the free market has drawn attention from a number of clubs across Europe and America.

West Bromwich Albion have been credited with holding an interest in Cole, with Baggies boss Steve Clarke having worked with the player while assistant manager at Chelsea and West Ham.

Cole's representative, Saif Rubie, has admitted there is interest from the Premier League, Europe and MLS, and that the forward is looking at all of his options.

"There are offers for Carlton from the Premier League, but also interest from Europe and big interest from MLS," Rubie told Sky Sports.

"At this stage we are looking at the pros and cons of each offer professionally and financially as this is a very important next step in Carlton's career and the move has to be right for him.

"We hope we can make a decision on Carlton's future soon."

Well out only big striker is Rudy who isnt good enough. Ok as a squad player but we cant be using him on a regular basis. I'd be happy to get Cole on board, gives us more depth.

Gestede > Cole.

When Cole has his own energy drink then we can start talking.

I honestly think Cole is not much better than Rudy. He didn't impress me at all for West Ham against us.

I.M.O Bent from Villa would be a cracking signing.

With WBA not having lukaku this yr they need another striker and cole without a fee obviously suits them.. I'd also take him for free, but wouldn't be disappointed if we didn't get him

Echo this.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't Palace. Decent player who wants to stay in London, and Palace hardly have a massive budget. Cole on a free transfer would be smart and realistic.
