Cole eager to succeed

ANDY COLE has vowed to silence the Man City sceptics who have questioned his switch to Eastlands.

Many fans voiced their opposition to Stuart Pearce’s decision to snap up the former Manchester United striker from Fulham.

However, Cole made an immediate impact when scoring on his debut against Everton in Bangkok and prompted Pearce to hail him as the potential bargain of the summer.

“It’s not easy and I’m not expecting to win them over in the first few games, but I’ll give it 100 per cent, whatever club I’ve been at I’ve always done that,” Cole said.

“If it only takes me a while that would be very nice, if not I’ll just keep working on getting as many goals as I can. Obviously it’s always nice to get off to a good start and I’ve done that, so long may it continue.”
