Ashley Cole

Real Madrid will offer Ashley Cole a two-year deal to join them this summer

[lionsden 4,689]

So, Madrid is going to buy Cole?

Does that mean Fabio is available?

I still think Cole is better lb than Dave currently. I'm surprised Mourinho uses him sparingly.

You must be the only one that still think that. Azplicueta has been without a question one of the best fullbacks in Europe this season and Ashley cole hasn't been in that discussion legitimately since 2009/10 season.

Yes, because Cole wasn't a huge reason why we won the champions league.

Dave has work hard, but provides nothing going forward and the fact of the matter is that he get's wrong footed on a lot of possessions ( I dont't blame him since he is out of posiition).

Great analysis Mr. Pro scout, please come up with another stupid fact.

Yeah but unfortunately, that was 2 years ago and it's now 2014. Cole is not exactly the player he once was any longer. He can arguably still put in performances but only when used well and not consistently. With Azpilicueta, different case altogether and he has proved his consistency with his performances over the course of the season.

I really want to see him start ahead of Ivanovic for the rest of the season, but thts just my opinion, think it will give us more width and improve our goals from out wide if him and azp played

Someone's been spotted with a thick beard...

LOL at Salah.....Luiz looks like he couldn't give a shit

[zolayes 14,489]

I think Ashley won't be offered a new contract

Love seeing the reactions of Matic, MvG, Salah, Ashley and Ake.. They really do care.

Let's not jump into conclusions based on that. It is only a still picture after all..

Matic is like "how the fuck did that happen"

Its a shame I really like Ashley but he seems completely out of favour

Ashley Cole is set to wait until the end of the season before making any decisions over his future.

Like Lampard and Terry, Mourinho has insisted Cole will be offered a new deal but Chelsea will try to sign left back Luke Shaw from Southampton in the summer and the former Arsenal man has already fallen below Cesar Azpilicueta in the pecking order.

Cole will have other options, both at home and abroad, but the 33-year-old could also contemplate retirement from football if he does not receive an offer that excites him.

If Cole indeeds goes to RM, that means its certain Coentrao is leaving to potentially United, which would not be good for us.

Hardly a player that makes us worried...

Why wouldn't it? It might actually turn out to be good for us - one less club to compete against for Luke Shaw.

Yes, Luke Shaw the english prodigy just like Digne was for France.

Hardly a player that makes us worried...

OK. Fabio is a midlevel talent.
