Views from the opposition fans last night: "As an aside, Devante Cole for them (Andy's son) on loan from Man City. Phenomenal talent, we'd have probably had an easy night if it weren't for him." http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=402&fid=17&sty=2&act=1&mid=2110596529 "After 15 minutes I feared the worst tonight as they should have been 4-0 up. Defence looked all over the place and Cole up front is a class act. Barnsley defence was terrible and you could see the confidence slowly creep in after the goal but to be honest we should have been out of sight at half time 5-1 would have been about right" http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=402&fid=17&sty=2&act=1&mid=2110596146 "Barnsley, as soon as Thompson scored started to look edgy and nervous in defense but had an attacking edge with the excellent Cole up(Hollis never got to grips with him to be honest)." http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=402&fid=17&sty=2&act=1&mid=2110597433 And then there's these p illocks: "He has been a sub mostly for Barnsley so no thanks" "He's hardly set the 1st division alight has he. If we are to get another youngster from the prem, then no thanks, I would rather promote one of ouir own developement players to the 1st team squad, such as Bektra for example." "He looks like his dad. Thats where the similarities start and end unfortunately for him. Cant recruit players on a logic of genes or last name. Next we will be suggesting getting aguero's baby son signed up on a pre-contract; his grandfather is maradonna" http://www.owlstalk.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic/218686-devante-cole/
None of them on Pork Talk will have seen him play, except against Bradford in which he had a good game, so that sums up their level of intelligence really. Cole is looking better and better with every game, and let's not forget, he'd not played a single professional game before joining us on loan. A very raw talent who's going to play at a higher standard than them on Pork talk are ever going to see.
