I think the point about Cole is he has failed to show his potential in the Prem, would much rather spend any cash we get on players who at least might do something if we got promoted..
We need to buy players who see Charlton as a step up, either with a view to getting into the Premiership with CAFC or impressing watching EPL scouts. In the recent past those sort of players have performed for Charlton - Mendonca, Darren Bent, kinsella, Danny Mills etc. Those who've been transferred from other EPL clubs know they are stepping down a bit and they bring their ego with them - Danny Murphy, Marcus Bent, JFH etc.
Give me a kid who wants to play and will run his heart out for the club, they might not be the most talented and have question-marks about whether they can really hack it at EPL level but every now and again you discover a real gem. People doubted whether Darren Bent could make it a Premiership level - but only Charlton took the gamble, now his value has tripled/quadrupled and maybe more.

A good thing about netaddicks was that you couldn't say that tw*t's name, you had to do something like c*rlt*n f*ck*ng c*le
Can we please ban the use of his name here too, especially in thread titles?
