£10 million is what he's worth IMO, if we pay anything more we've been robbed.

Spot on Alster.
It's very altruistic of people to think of Coates' money. I remember the good old days of selling Pesch, Griff, Sheron, not offering Gareth Taylor £200 a week more and ending up with Lightbulb, appointing Chic because it saved money, £300 to be a Premier Club member to help pay for the Brit, etc etc. PC is getting plenty out of this ride.
The market determines what a player is worth. If he's what we need then let's get on with it. Or would you prefer we sign Hulse?

He's worth what someone is prepared to pay. Fletcher for £6m set the new benchmark.

I never said he was worth £12m, just what the market is prepared to pay. I think most observers would price Cole at £3-4M more. He's a different sort of player. My guess is that £10m will be the price plus add-ons. If he had been fit he would have made the World Cup 30 and be attracting the likes of Villa. I didn't see an auction for Fletcher or Burnley holding out for a bigger fee.

Both have one good season to their name. Then why is fletcher worthe LESS THAN HALF? Fletcher at £7M is vastly overpriced but if that is taken as a benchmanrk then it would mean Cole for £14 is about right. I think Cole would be the perfect signing for us and fit into our style perfectly and i also think he could our marque signing that shows our ambition and it would no doubt signal our intent to sign some of the best players in the Prem. His signing could have a big bearing on negotiantions with the likes of Jenas and attract some better players. That said, as much as i would love to sign Cole i really dont think he will sign for us and will just use us as bait to draw a bid from Villa or Everton and join a team he really wants to move to IMO. Hope im wrong though
