Big club/Bigger club

[Gorgeous_bird]

I was shocked/sad to hear that Joe Cole was going to Liverpool - those feelings soon disappeared when he was quoted as saying Liverpool was a bigger club -a right kick in the teeth for Chelsea fans. In the programme at the first match of the season Bruce Buck wrote -"Joe Cole has gone to a small club somewhere up north" -tee hee

Good luck to Joe Cole and his big club

Well it is a much bigger club than Chelsea isn't it? More trophies won, bigger crowds and fan base. They don't come much bigger than Liverpool.

Stoop I'm not even suggesting that Chelsea are bigger - I'm simply laughing at Bruce's response to Joe Cole's comment.

Oh dear he's been sent off, first time in his career.........

It is a kick in the teeth, we all like to think our team is the best but we also know the reality. Unfortunately his new big club were not prepared to pay him his £90,000 a week wage demand and he's paid the same as his old small club. He was a great player for Chelsea, much loved and there were always chants for "get Joe on" when he was on the bench. So when they turn around and say that of course we move on and find a new Joe cole to idolise. The title of the thread was big club/ bigger club not from a big club to a small club.

Could have been worse, he could have gone to Sunderland

I think you said it all there... chants "get Joe on"  He was not getting picked and was obviously frustrated and wanted first team football.  I don't blame him for leaving, most Premier League players want to play ever week for their team.

I do know where you are coming from GB, because we were the same when we heard Mascherano wanted to go, saying,no one man is bigger than the club,if he wants out, let him go etc, Joe Cole, has said all the right things and pressed the right buttons with us, so good luck to him and hope he gets the games he deserves,
