IT'S CARLTON ATHLETIC!
Terry Cordwell reports
Charlton have landed their second major transfer coup in as many weeks
after manager Alan Curbishley swooped to secure the loan signing of
Chelsea striker Carlton Cole on Wednesday.
The England U21 international, who scored a memorable goal against the
Addicks in last season's opening day defeat to Chelsea, has joined until
the end of the season.
Cole also found the net for the Blues last season in their Premiership
matches against Sunderland and Bolton Wanderers in April.
And he could make his Charlton debut at Molineux on Saturday, where he
scored one goal in seven league appearances while on loan to Wolves during
2002/03.
"We're delighted to sign Carlton on loan," said manager Alan Curbishley.
"We faced stiff opposition from a number of other Premiership clubs and we
're very pleased that he has decided to come to us.
"Carlton has many very good attributes and we're hoping it's going to be a
very successful loan period."
The six-foot-three forward made his Chelsea debut in April 2002 and he
marked his first start for Claudio Ranieri's side later that month with a
goal against Middlesbrough at The Riverside Stadium.
"I am very much looking forward to coming to Charlton and hope I can help
the team win as many games as possible," said Cole. "There were other
teams interested in signing me on loan but once I had spoken to Alan
Curbishley my mind was made up immediately."
A prolific scorer for Chelsea's youth and reserve teams, the 19-year-old
striker has scored four goals for the Chelsea first team in 16 league
appearances but an influx of new arrivals at Stamford Bridge led to a slip
down the pecking order.
Cole's loan move means there are now four Blues strikers fighting for two
positions, with Romanian Adrian Mutu receiving international clearance
ahead of Chelsea's weekend fixture against Leicester.
Chelsea chief executive Trevor Birch said: "Carlton has a big future at
Chelsea and this is a wonderful opportunity for him to improve his
education.
"We are taking advantage of the new rules which allows loans between
Premiership clubs to give Carlton some regular Premier League football.
That is the level at which we want him this season, and we are sure he'll
come back at the end a better player."
Last year loan signings were not permitted to take place with two clubs
from the same division but that rule has been abandoned this season.
Cole, however, will not be allowed to feature in either of Charlton's
games against Chelsea this season.
He has been given the number 35 shirt.
*Commento*: beh, dopo la prova negativa col Man City arriva una bella
consolazione per i tifosi degli Haddick ! E ora vediamo se partirà
veramente già sul campo dei Wolves.

questo vuol dire che Crespo e' in linea d'arrivo...io comunque Cole l'avrei
tenuto.

Non so.
Qui su una TV regionale lombarda in uno dei soliti programmi-spazzatura
sul calcio hanno detto che Branca era a Londra per definire la cessione di
Hernan.
Come ho avuto modo di dire tempo fa se il Chelsea lo prende imho sono i
favoriti numero 1 per la Premier.
