No chance of Cole seeing contract demands met at Chelsea

Chelsea's Champions League exit is expected to see Joe Cole leave at the end of the season.

Blues owner Roman Abramovich is taking a firmer line on contracts after allowing John Terry to land a £160,000-a-week deal last year.

The Times says Cole will be the first to pay the price for a new attitude because the club are determined not to cave in to his wage demands. The England midfield player is likely to be followed out of the door by Deco, Paulo Ferreira, Hilário and even Ricardo Carvalho.

Joe Cole is not good enough for Chelsea. Fails to deliver time after time.

I love Joe, but his attitude this season has been disgraceful.

As an arsenal fan, I actually think this will make Chelsea stronger. They will work harder and they can free up spaces in their squad for quality players. The players mentioned aren't good enough or are past their use by date. Chelsea will be stronger next season, they don't even have to spen much money
