Utd were better off having Cole than Shearer. A lot of people seem to suggest that having Shearer would have won us more than 1 EC. No guarantee at all, RVN, a similar style of player scored a shit load while the rest of the team made less of an impact.
Cole was an all round brilliant player, first time lay offs, unselfish, brave, far better on the ball than he was given credit for, and a more intelligent football brain as well. Cole was occasionally deployed on the left win by Fergie, and he took to it a lot better than Rooney did, games like Fiorentina and Porto showed how effective he was.
He did a great job for us.
