I don't think he's quite Ashley Cole status, probably just badly advised by his agent...
His agent Jonathan Barnett memorably called him in his car with some truly heartbreaking news: ?I?m here in the office and David Dein is saying they aren?t going to give you ?60k a week. They?ve agreed ?55k and this is their best and final offer. Are you happy with that??
Cole?s take on this was: ?When I heard Jonathan repeat the figure of ?55k, I nearly swerved off the road. ?He is taking the piss, Jonathan!? I yelled down the phone. I was so incensed. I was trembling with anger. I couldn?t believe what I?d heard. I suppose it all started to fall apart for me from then on. I?d trusted Mr Dein to push the deal through.?
