Ashley Cole

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

The Daily Mail? Yeah great...........

Weren't the papers saying he is going to Manchester United? He boarded the Eurostar to Paris to see PSG? He was going to Madrid to join back up with Mourinho?

It's all bullshit. The board were holding out for 6 months to break there policy to give him a 1 year contract that means he's earning a hell of a lot more than he is now? Yeah I don't think so.

[Beepu 1,714]

i wouldnt believe the papers just yet about the wage. Im glad that he signed, not sure who can replace him.

He signs when he wants, he sign when he wants!

Ashley Cole!

He signs when he wants

holy shit. 200k a week for a defender? If thsi is true, its apparent once again, the board has no clue. this is far too much for Cole, he has declined since 2010 and is nowhere near Leighton Baines, who maybe earns a third of that.

I doubt it that's much, but even if it is who cares what Baines earns? We don't own him so we'd have to pay at least £15 million to get him.

The truth is that Bertrand simply hasn't kicked on and may never be good enough. Cole is still one of the best in the world at what he does and the cost of retaining him (even at this wage) is still cheaper than replacing him.

Personally, I'd love us to get Luke Shaw from Southampton as his understudy.

[DONI. 1,291]

It's official now he signed a new one year contract

[DH1988 1,273]

C'mon guys, the fact is the papers do not know what he earns nor do we, they speculate just as much as us, few days back before Pep chose Bayern they were all saying its City he's going to!

I'm happy we are keeping him, yesterdays performance was one of his best in a long time.

spot on . doubt if the pay is more than half the Mails figure

This fuels speculation that the special one may return...

VERY TRUE

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Finally official: http://www.chelseafc.com/news-article/article/3049950/title/new-contract-for-cole

'I am pleased I will be starting my eighth season at Chelsea. I have great memories here and I enjoy coming to training every day. The staff are amazing and I enjoy training with the lads.

'I have been able to fulfil nearly all my ambitions at Chelsea. I have won the Champions League, the League, I have won FA Cups here but of course you don't want to stop winning trophies and being at a big club, you are always fighting to win a trophy.

'Being here for seven years and being at Arsenal before that playing for trophies, you never lose that hunger. I wanted to stay at Chelsea because we are always fighting and challenging for trophies. That desire and the will to want to win things have not gone.'

[Hutcho 8,443]

Glad it is fully official even if we already knew it was true, as he is an important player who we don't have a good enough replacement. If he performs well next year i hope he will be offered another 1 year deal next year.

[Rmpr 8,977]

Will he be on 200k?

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Great news. Good job by the board.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Will he be on 200k?

He's def not. He himself said he never asked for 200K on his own twitter.

[Rmpr 8,977]

He's def not. He himself said he never asked for 200K on his own twitter.

Well, he might have never asked for it, but he might have been offered 200k. I dont know...

Have any idea what it might be?

[Kostas 1,468]

The club is certainly not going to leak that info and Cole has as many friends in the media as JT has, he's also never going to give them anything. I think the chances of us getting reliable info on that particular deal are close to none.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Well, he might have never asked for it, but he might have been offered 200k. I dont know...

No clue what it actually is, but it's def not 200k. He deleted his tweet it seems but it def came across that he was shocked that people were saying he'll be ok 200k.
