Cole's just kissing arse to get a game. Seriously though, Cole does seem to be one of the happier players under the new regime, he's obviously taken to Grant and is enjoying the style of football he's being asked to play. Mourinho did a lot for Joe in terms of his discipline and attitude. As talented as he was, he was definitely prone to overplaying and came off looking like a selfish bugger most of the time. Jose was maybe a little hard on him publicly but Cole undoubtedly benefited from it, with his all round game improving. I just hope that with this new 'free role' he's being given, he doesn't forget what he learnt from Mourinho.
