Mourinho laughs off 'nothing' story regarding Cole's unhappiness

JOSE MOURINHO has chosen to ignore the latest tale of alleged unrest from inside the Chelsea camp chiefly because it has arrived via a third party and not directly from the lips of England midfielder Joe Cole.

The Portuguese coach found it more than amusing that Cole's supposed desire to quit Stamford Bridge because of the lack of first-team football in a World Cup season, was released into the public arena by a 'source' close to the player and not the midfielder himself.

Cole still has another year of his contract to run and all parties are set to hold talks about an extension to his current deal at the end of this season.
