On 14 August 2015, Cole terminated his contract with Roma with one year of his contract remaining He's had 10 weeks to get the 'offers' in.

If he is, he's certainly not fit enough for football :lol: He can demand all he wants, the difference is they are hollow demands, that have no relevance to the offers any team is prepared to make.

There's no evidence that he's even on the radar. That's the point, if he's not prepared to work for the money offered, he doesn't work. His 'wage bracket' doesn't come into it. Were he still under contract then sure he's holding all the aces, but he's not.

Why hasn't he then?

Why is this always so difficult for NSC to grasp. A footballer out of contract is unemployed. He's not earning any wage. Therefore he has no wage bracket. He might no want to 'work' for what is offered, but he's in no position to demand higher wages.

Same age as Bobby, a year older than Bridge's time with the Albion, and currently unemployed.

Although he does talk very highly of you.

Blimey with that are you suggesting Ashley will be looking at his next contract in the same way he viewed his treatment 10+ years ago?

Ah so my flippant character assessment of you was actually correct, what are the chances.

We are talking about the same Ashley Cole, aren't we? The same age as Bobby. Played (albeit only 11 times) for Roma last season. Capped 107 times for England. Has 16 major honours to his name. 11 'team/player of the year' awards. Widely regarded as Roberto Carlos' successor in world football...

hahaha you'll turn down £780,000 out of loyalty to your currently employer who is actually trying to stiff you out of the £780,000. Mug.

None of that is in doubt to us 'normal' people. You work for considerably less than someone else is prepared to pay without being disgruntled. That 'only' £5k a week equates to £260,000 a year, or £780,000 over a 3 year contract.

But Arsenal were taking the pi$$, as proven by what Chelski were prepared to pay and what Cole achieved in football, with them. The fact that it's an obscene amount of money for us is neither here or there.
