Andrew Cole has today completed a move to Manchester City on a free transfer from Fulham. Cole will be City's manager Stuart Pearce's first signing after the sale of Shaun Wright-Phillips to Chelsea. It is unclear wheter or not the Man City fans will be happy with the signing because the player played for arch rivals Manchester United where he was a crowd favourite. The player has flown out to Bangkok to meet up with his new team mates who are taking part in the FA Premier League Asia Trophy. Pearce said that the chance of signing Cole on a free was to good to turn down.

I believe Cole only has one or two season's left in him and I think he could be a a great player for a free transfer. The youth team will gain tremendously with Cole's experience,He will also be a good player on the field too. City also only have one senior striker in Robbie Fowler in their ranks so he will be a welcome addition to the squad.
