Joe Cole on a free.

Maxi------------Gerrard---------New player-----------New player

 

--------------------------Cole------------------------

 

--------------------------Torres----------------------

 

That would be an exciting line up next season and the Mascherano funds can be used to buy a left winegr and centre midfielder replacement.

 

Young and Senna would be my choice.

 

Then we still have other sellable assets such as Riera, Babel and possibly Lucas, Kuyt or Skrtel - to use as squad players or sell to improve other areas of the squad, such as left back, back up striker or upgrade their own positions.

Surely we could give Aquilani a few weeks at the start of the season to prove himself? You know, new manager, new tactics (more attacking?), full pre-season under his belt?

 

I know I saw glimpses last season that, when he wasn't confined to defensive midfielder #2, the boy could pick a pass and score a goal.

Of course.

 

Would be nice to have Aquilani and Cole competing for that role.

 

Of course with Cole also being used on the left or right at times.

 

All about depth, competition and options.

Well cole is saying he wants to play in the middle so i can't see that happening. I'd rather have aquilani personally, he seems to have a better footballing brain.

 

If cole really wants to play in the middle then the only place he can go is arsenal i would have thought. At spurs they had modric in his position, and modric is better than cole that's for sure.

[PaulMcC]

What makes people think he'll join us?

[Guest LFD]

God I hope Hodgson has more faith about players wanting to join our club than some of our fans.

[PaulMcC]

I bet Hodgson wishes he had some money and a club that was in a healthy state too.

 

Why do people think Cole is joining us again?

[Bogman]

Should have stayed at Fulham then.

 

Wasn't like none of this has been documented anywhere, has it.:whistle:

[Guest LFD]

Why do people think Cole is joining us again?

 

Because he could play regular football alongside some of the best players in the world in Reina, Gerrard and Torres... possibly Mascherano.

 

Sick of our fans under selling our club, the media do enough of that.

 

We've still got a bloody good team and Liverpool FC is still a big name and Cole has said things about our club on Sky before and playing every other week at Anfield must be tempting for a player.

[PaulMcC]

So we've no reason to think he's gonna sign for us, except some would like him to?

[Guest LFD]

So we've no reason to think he's gonna sign for us, except some would like him to?

 

Well Man U have ruled themselves out.

 

He has said he wants to play central, in his favoured position.

 

I think we have as good a chance as any other team, if Roy will give him what he wants - that central position behind Torres.

 

If not, then I think he'll probably go to Spurs or Arsenal to stay in London.

[shouter]

Fuck me there are a lot of deluded people on here.

[PaulMcC]

But no reason except you reckon he would join us and would like it?

 

I was hoping someone credible had reported he was joining or something.

[Guest LFD]

Fuck me there are a lot of deluded people on here.

 

What has anyone said that is 'deluded'?

[Guest LFD]

I was hoping someone credible had reported he was joining or something.

 

No that hasn't happened, but equally they haven't ruled us out, mainly because by the sounds of it, he hasn't decided yet.

[Il Fenomeno]

Why would Joe Cole go to Arsenal when he will only get 1 year contracts when he's over 30 and why would he go to Spurs when Modric, Lennon, Bentley, Rose & Kranjcar are there already.

[Mark M]

Something we used to be in.... Used to be good at! The reason the likesof Torres signed for us.... Damn what was that again, oh ye the champions league.

[Gary Mac Legend]

I think LFC and Hodgson would be a good choice for Cole. He can get regular football here particularly in a central role, and he can get games out wide no problem as well. He can work with an english manager who'll show him the affection he says he craves, and get on with his football. Play with some big names as well, but he has to drop his wage demands. I would be happy to take him on at £50-60k a week.

I've heard he's demanding 100k a week??? That's fucking crazy

[Guest LFD]

I've heard he's demanding 100k a week??? That's fucking crazy

 

Almost as crazy as Maxi being on 80k.

[PaulMcC]

Isn't that the same company that had Ribery odds on to join us?

[aws]

Almost as crazy as Maxi being on 80k.

 

Except he isn't.

[StevieH]

Isn't that the same company that had Ribery odds on to join us?

 

Yes that was SkyBet as well. They seem to respond very quickly to 'rumours' and don't take any chances.

[Thants]

He's going to Spuds.
