I think that ship has sailed.

Cole won’t be coming back to Etihad, except as an opponent.

At least, until he retires.

I think you're almost certainly right. But I also don't think a talent as natural as his will stop all that long at Chelsea, unless they get their act together fairly sharpish. Not sure how long his contract runs to?
Incidentally, there's no-one in our current team I'd willingly drop to make space for Cole on a week-by-week basis, although if one or two key players like Bernardo go this summer that'll look somewhat different. And we've got players like Bobb and Rico waiting in the wings (obviously Rico plays nowhere near where Cole plays) — not sure what their ceiling is, but I believe it's a fair bit higher than what we've seen if they played as starters and got the rhythm of regular ninety-minute football under their belts.

As Pep said about Rico, all he’s lacking is experience.

Oscar is also an exciting talent, but a different type of player to Cole.

From what I’ve seen of him with Chelsea, he’s more suited to playing centrally, than out on the wing, as Pep had him, whereas Oscar looks right at home out wide.
