Joe Cole signs

[ashey]

If we don't sign any forwards (unlikely), I'd give No 7 to Kuyt.

Liverpool have confirmed that Joe Cole has passed a medical and has signed a four-year contract to complete his move to Anfield.

The England international agreed a deal with the Premier League club on Monday after leaving Chelsea as a free agent at the beginning of July.

Cole then flew to Switzerland to join his new team-mates at a training camp in Bad Ragaz and he has since successfully passed a medical to allow him to sign a deal with Liverpool.

The Anfield outfit said in a short statement on their official website: "Liverpool football club are delighted to announce that Joe Cole has put pen to paper on a four-year deal."

Speculation had suggested that Cole would inherit Liverpool's famous No.7 shirt, which was given prestige by the likes of Kevin Keegan and Kenny Dalglish.

But the former West Ham man has instead been allocated the No.10 jersey for the new season.

Tottenham and Arsenal were also linked with Cole before he agreed to join Liverpool in a deal which will reportedly be worth £90,000 a week.

As a result, it has been alleged that the 28-year-old's arrival is motivated by money due to Liverpool's failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, but manager Roy Hodgson has dismissed that theory.

Welcome to Liverpool FC Joe and show those mofos why you are here!!

Welcome to Liverpool FC Joe and show those mofos why you are here!!

Same thing we accused Barry of when he signed for City, no?

[red g]

I don’t want to do the whole ‘Joe Cole is a w*****’ thing here, I mean, I cannot believe he actually signed for the dippers and I might sick in my mouth a bit when I see him wearing that piece of tat on his back but he was a real favourite of mine so I’ll rise above slating him.


Actually, sod it, what the f*** is he doing at that club?

One of the reasons, in fact probably the main reason I loved Joe Cole, was because I genuinely believed he was an honest player. In a world where it seems like probably the majority of players are full of **** and would sell their souls for the next big payday, I always believed Joe Cole when he insisted it ‘wasn’t about the money’ for him.

It was about the football, it was about Chelsea FC, I mean he more or less would’ve played just for the shirt on his back wouldn’t he? Except despite stating time and again that he wasn’t interested in the money and just wanted to play for Chelsea, when it’s come down to it – he’s gone where he was offered the money.

He certainly hasn’t gone there for Champions League football or to win things because neither of those are on Liverpool’s agenda. So what else could his motives be? Well, if Carragher’s comments are anything to go by, he’ll certainly be regarded as a big player there, with the Liverpool mouthpiece player stating “It is a message that Liverpool mean business. We have signed a top international player who has been really important for Chelsea.”

So if it’s credit he wants, then he’s already getting it off his new team-mates, despite how much dross it is because actually, the reality is that no matter how good some people believe Joe Cole to be (and I’m amongst that particular category of individuals), what Liverpool have actually signed, is a player who couldn’t get regular football with the Premier League champions or his international side, so as usual, Carragher is talking out of his rear-end.

Not only that, but they’re paying him £90,000 a week for the privilege, which is more than any of the top Premier League clubs were prepared to shell out for him. So if the dippers are deluding themselves into imagining Joe Cole’s signing somehow means ‘this is their year’, then like the managers’ Joe Cole has played under, they might be in for a bit of frustration.

I wonder if he’ll fully commit himself with a dippers sweatband though?

i read this and thought this would be how we would sound if torres left us

[DannyMan2006]

I think the fact he is so bitter says a lot. If it was a rubbish player they didnt need there would have been no responce.

Number 11

Club website says he has no number now.

Prob just waiting till Reira is gone though

Like how there was relatively minor fussy on here when Yossi went the other way.

[Chrono]

Oh the irony of a Chelsea fan complaining about mercenary players. Their entire recent success is a product of this and unlike our own club they have no other means of looking an attractive proposition

[SimonNo7]

I'd not argue with that

I would. Kuyt is no way near in the same league as Keegan and the King.

Indeed. It will be a Man City fan next

Well unless we give the shirt to either Torres or Gerrard, I'm not sure we are going to see anyone in it that is for quite a while.

yep as i said think we would be saying exactly the same if torres left.

I think there is a lot of people bemused with this move though to many people forget football has been around long before 1991 and regardless of what sky say liverpool is still the biggest draw in world football to some
