Joe Cole

[Abs]

Wenger was pretty gutted when Cole didn't sign for you lot after all his wooing.

 

Joe will come right.

 

;oo; we were never in....i remember having debates with people in this forum saying Nasri was twice the player and got laughed at

Pretty sure you were.

 

Cole's a good player and will come right sooner or later but he's definitely not twice the player of Nasri.

he was not rated by mourinho and anchelotti and you think they got it wrong?

Why don't you just cunt the fuck off?

 

I never understand why other team's fans frequent rival team's boards for no reason.

[Major Tom]

As far as I am aware, they both rated him.

 

Ancelotti wanted to keep him and Mourinho actually kept him so I am not sure what you mean if I am honest.

 

Unless you know something I don't.

 

And not that I actually care of course.

Joe Cole is anything but a workshy mercianary. Heard a few things about him from someone working in the Hilton, which is where Cole was living with his family for the few weeks after moving up here. He was very excited and enthusiastic about Liverpool, and he was happy to walk around town, sign as many autographs and pose for as many pictures as he was asked for. He's struggled through his suspension and injury, and also because, despite the manager saying otherwise when he signed, he's not been played in his favoured central role. He isn't a left midfielder.

[El Rojo]

The three game suspension, niggling injuries and being played out on the left (in a new and badly underpeforming team) haven't done him any favours.

 

Bit early to be writing him off.

[Guest TK-421]

Its clear as day you have been shafted here and if he wasnt english he would be a laughing stock in the media

 

I think this is spot on.

[Major Tom]

I think this is spot on.

 

How have we been shafted though?

[MLB]

I like Cole and I think he will come good if he can get fit for a proper run of games. Problem is, he isn't a wide player...

[andrew78]

He's a good player who is clearly feeling weighed down by his own expectation. Like Aquilani before him, he'll struggle when we sit deep and let players press us but if we press high and play a short passing style (as we should) he'll be much better. Needs a good run before he can settle though and that seems a long way away considering how we're currently setting up.

 

Taking that free kick off of Patches and then asking for it to be rolled from that position did not impress though...

 

Just wondering why so many think pacheo is the answer,i just think if he was that good he would be in the team ,ie if your good enough even at his age.Take scum bag owen for instance

[Guest TK-421]

How have we been shafted though?

 

We pay him tonnes of cash and he doesn't do much? Pretty much the definition of shafted.

 

Hopefully he'll come good, though.

[George Costanza]

He's garbage

So did Wenger...but not enough for a four year contract @£95 k a week.

He really isnt and never will been good enough to play number 10 position in a top team.

 

Excuses that are appropriate:

 

-Defensive hoofball being played

-Crap manager

-Crap tactics

-Injuries

-Trying to hard

[Guest San Don]

Dont think Cole has been given a fair crack of the whip by the manager. Played out of position, played in mainly 'weakened' Liverpool teams.

 

I see the manager is now publically saying Cole's form isnt good enough, same as he did with Johnson.

 

Shame he doesnt say the same fucking thing about his own (managerial) performances. Poor workman and his tools, Roy!

[Joe Le Taxi]

But, he's the English Iniesta!

Reading that actually makes me feel a bit of sympathy for Joe.

 

Always thought he came across as an alright lad.

 

Edit: Just remembered he does get paid 90,000 odd grand a week. On seconds thought I don't feel that sorry for him.

To be fair ...Nasri has only really picked it up this season..no?

[OnizukaEikichi]

I thought that he was the English Messi?

[Spartacus]

Fucking hell! Give the lad a chance.

[mlwilliams]

Fuck me, expecting a little too much from the off aren't we? Give him time.

[Guest PurpleNose]

How long is his contract?

 

He's 29 isn't he? So I'm guessing probably a seven year deal.

Four year contract.
