The Daily Mirror claims that Crystal Palace, without a fit striker, are considering no less a man than Carlton Cole. Having played for West Ham for nine years and scored in the Play-off Final he'll always be viewed with affection by Hammers fans, though CC looked, ahem, past his best when he last played for the Irons in 2014-15, scoring three times that season.
He's soon to be 34 and since leaving West Ham has had four games for Celtic, three games for Sacremento Republic and five for Persib Bandung in Indonesia, all without scoring. Indeed, Paddy Power has just tweeted: "Palace step up their bid to become the first PL team to go a season without scoring a goal by declaring their interest in Carlton Cole." Which is a little unfair. If Carlton plays against West Ham he'll score.
