Joe Cole

[Gibbo]

4 more great players and we will have a good squad.

It's a shame really, the Rafa 2009 team had strength but not depth, now we have more depth but little strength.

Need to find that happy medium.

[Mattshark]

we do have a good squad......we have good players .....

Not enough to be a good squad.

[Bender]

think i meant to say we have a good team

[BigChief]

Mourinho sussed him out years ago. A player with some talent but absolutely zero intelligence. Those were his words not mine. Joe'll hardly fit into a fast one two intelligent gameplan that Uncle Buck is planning to implement.

[Kenneth]

Have you got a quote of that?

[BigChief]

This is the best I could find using Google. Doesn't mention the word intelligence here but I remember Mourinho using it nevertheless.

I have absolutely nothing against him. I think he has the potential to be useful to us and wish him well for pre-season. I think there's a good chance he'll play regularly and perform.

Cole wants to leave Liverpool imprint

I'm sure has left a fair imprint/ indent in our bench already.

I wish we could just lose him asap. Really does not fit in here and should head back down sarf. Or back to France where he 'made such an impact' ().

My main concerns about Cole are that he has very short arms and would be more mobile if he wasn't attached to a stake in the ground.

It shows areal lack of mobility doesn't it.

[DeeTheDog]

Rodgers knows Cole well from their Chelsea days, so if he feels he will work well within the team I'll be glad to see Cole back.

We had a chronic lack of goals from midfield last season and Cole is capable of scoring goals.

[Exiled_red]

I don't have a problem with giving him another chance if he is now fit and willing to prove himself with us. My biggest concern is where we will play him. For me his best position is in the hole but we have alot of players who want to play there, some who would probably do a better job. He's not really suited to playing a regular central midfield role, which leaves the wide positions, which is another case of square pegs in round holes.
