I dont understand this story at all. I like Cole, I think he would be a decent signing for us and I’d rather him than Chamakh as I think he gives us something a bit different – more of a target man that can hold the ball up whereas Cham is a converted winger that likes to run onto the ball like Theo, like Vela, not too disimilar to Rosicky. Also, Cham has already shown he is a money whore whereas I think if Cole had another chance at Champions League football he would grab it and we would have a very loyal player in return. I also wonder whether the delay to Wilshere’s loan deal has anything to do with this – West Ham want Jack, Jack wants West Ham and laoning him to them may ease the Cole move? The problem though is that we need a striker to cover injuries and Cole is injured! I wonder though if that is why nothing is happening, is AW waiting to see if Bendtner comes through to give him some breathing space, if not then maybe Cole is a no go and he goes for someone 100% fit today?

c.Cole is a decent player, his good in the air and can finish. I dont think he is the perfect fit as of now, maybe in the near future, but not now. As for Bendner, I think he should of been transfered long long time ago!!! lets get real true striker that want to play!!!! M.Chamakh!!!! were are you???

Dzeko is the BIG GUN we need up front. He should be Ade’s replacement. Simple as that. Another CB for cover too. To replace Kolo. We need depth to compete in all 4 competitions plus injuries will always occur. Come on Arsene and Ivan, show our ambition!!

To all Arsenal fans, I wouldn’t get too exited about this story because it aint happening as this story is just a load of crap. Why would Zola sell Cole to your lot of or anyone else for that matter? He wouldn’t nor would West Ham, because they don’t need to sell players as they are not in financial difficulty, not cash rich either, so doubt very much that they will do any business in this window, other than maybe one or two loan deals. Beside he would cost more than £9 mil or you could say more than Wenger would be prepared to pay. Does anybody out there with any intelligence really think that West Ham our going to sell their top striker who is going to be integral in keeping them up this term? Don’t you just love silly season? COYI.

Cole’s good but i’m with Hass above, as Darren will make a much better addition to our strike force.
