Ashley Cole joined Frank Lampards Derby County

In lighter news, Cardiff's new record signing may have been on a plane that went missing over the Channel last night. Luckily, I'm seeing the funny side

Looks like he's died. That's horrendous if true, for him and his family first and foremost obviously. I wonder what sort of insurance clubs have for that sort of thing? £18mil is a big hit for a club of Cardiff's size

[ewerk 30610]

That's even if insurance was in place? Had he officially signed for them? 

[Kid Dynamite 7027]

I think so, theres pictures of him signing contracts on Friday

[TheGingerQuiff 2412]

If Nantes replace him with a similar looking guy with a false looking beard then I wouldn't blame Cardiff for being suspicious

[Howay 12496]

Horrible news, hopefully they find them and they’re ok but the chances of that are looking pretty bleak. 

[wykikitoon 20140]

Really odd they haven't found anything. It's not as if it's the Pacific or Atlantic they're looking in

It’s still a huge area to search. And technically, it is the Atlantic

Plus it's not like it's a 747 that went down, it's a tiny plane.

[TheGingerQuiff 2412]

Apparently it needed 3 or 4 attempts to take off. Personally I'd have questioned it's flight worthiness after the first failed attempt

Not to make light of this, as it's clearly terrible news if something has happened to them as it looks like, but I must admit my first thought was there's another excuse for Ashley not to break our transfer record!

[NJS 4385]

Would have laughed if he'd broken his leg getting off or something but this is tragic.

This has happened over the English channel. Imagine the risks associated with a record signing coming over on transatlantic flight!

Right up there with the risks of being in Europe, or going on a cup run. 

Dreadful news, but I could completely see the fat fuck spinning it that way.

Aye, I'd have been off and straight to Le Bar after the first fuck-up

Can't imagine why a person of some stature, and perhaps not short of money, would get on a small plane to fly from France to Cardiff.

A bigger plane may have been more inconvenient but would have been quicker, more comfortable, and probably safer.

Just what I was thinking. Tragic news.

In a, now deleted, tweet, it seems that Willie McKay, he of Boumsong and Amdy Faye fame, was responsible for booking the plane arrangements and also brokered the transfer.
