Cole started the 2002/03 season in the Chelsea first team squad, scoring a goal and making another in the opening game of the season in a 3-1 win over Charlton after coming on as a substitute for Zola.[6] He suffered a hairline fracture in his leg in August but returned to action in a Worthington Cup tie against Gillingham in November, scoring two goals.[7] Claudio Ranieri, the then manager of Chelsea, described Cole as being the best young player that he had ever coached, saying, "I've never coached a young player like Carlton. He's fantastic even though he hasn't really started his career yet. He has a very long contract, and, in my opinion, a very big future at Chelsea."[8] However, with Gudjohnsen, Hasselbaink and Zola available for selection, Cole's first team opportunities were limited and he was loaned to Wolverhampton Wanderers in November 2002[9] for one month, later extended to two months.[10] Having made seven appearances for Wolves, scoring one goal,[5] his loan spell was cut short as Chelsea, needing cover, recalled him early in January 2003.[11] Cole made a further twelve league and cup appearances for Chelsea in the 2002/03 season, in addition to the four that he made before going on loan to Wolves.[5] He scored six goals in all for Chelsea that season,[5] including a spectacular, left-footed volley against Sunderland[12] and the winner against Bolton Wanderers[13] in April 2003 as Chelsea pressed for a place in the Champions League.

Cole signed a new six-year contract with Chelsea in the summer of 2003[14] but with Mutu, Gudjohnsen, Hasselbaink and Forssell also battling for a place in the starting lineup for Chelsea, he joined Charlton Athletic on a season-long loan in August 2003,[15] where he scored five goals in 22 league and cup appearances,[5] helping Charlton to finish the 2003/04 season in seventh place in the Premier League. Despite Charlton being keen to retain Cole's services for the 2004/05 season,[16] Cole joined Aston Villa on another season-long loan.[17] This move sparked off a dispute as Charlton were expecting Cole to return to the club as part of the deal that took Scott Parker from Charlton to Chelsea.[18] The dispute was later resolved when the two clubs reached a settlement.[19] Cole scored three goals in 30 league and cup appearances for Aston Villa,[5] including a goal on his debut in a 2-0 win over Southampton in August 2004,[20] in a season which was interupted by a knee injury picked up in an England U21 match against Holland U21 in February 2005.[21] Adrian Mutu (born January 8, 1979 in Călineşti, Argeş County) is a Romanian striker and second captain of the Romanian national team, he is currently at Fiorentina. ...
