When will this summer signing finally come good?

|

He has however given a few glimpses of how dangerous he can be when given a bit of space to manoeuvre in. The penalty Torres earned against Manchester United at Old Trafford was a result of Joe Cole’s penetrative ball in from midfield while his finish against Steaua Bucharest in the Europa League showed that he hasn’t yet lost the predatory instincts which helped make him one of Chelsea’s star players.

With every news outlet currently focusing on the drama concerning the Liverpool owners, people almost seem to have forgotten that we’re facing our fierce rivals Everton at the weekend. With us in 18th position and having already dropped too many points, the pressure for us to come out on top in this Merseyside clash is immense. The importance of the occasion presents a great opportunity for Joe Cole to showcase the skills we know he possesses and it is exactly what he needs in order to re-establish his reputation as a big game player.

Contrary to what some fans believe, the fact that Cole is an established Premiership player doesn’t guarantee that he’ll settle instantly. He has moved his young family up North for the first time after all and will need time to properly feel at home on Merseyside.

There is absolutely no doubting the Englishman’s ability though, which has drawn praise from our captain on many occasions. The bottom line is, there are certain players who no matter how out of form they are possess the class to turn it around in an instant. Along with Fernando Torres of course, Joe Cole is this type of footballer, and I truly believe him to be too good to not make a huge impact here at Liverpool. I’m fully anticipating that he will begin writing the first chapter of his Liverpool highlights this Sunday against our nearest rivals.

    i think your second paragraph sums it up, when you are in a team like chelsea, surrounded by quality players in every position, of course you are going to look good and, don’t get me wrong, i think joe IS a great player but at liverpool he only has 3 or 4 truly great team mates, therefore he’s not going to look as good! hopefully now, with the new owners, we can bring in some higher quality players, players fit to play along side the likes of cole, gerrard and torres and maybe then we will see the real joe cole

    Was i the only one NOT excited by Coles arrival? Chelsea are’nt stupid, seen he was past his best and got rid. We got shot of Aquilani and turned down Van der Vaart for him, what’s that all about?

  • sparq2112 says:

    No, RDV turned us down.
    Along with a whole host of other players.

    Hopefully the sale of LFC will readdress us being looked upon as a joke.

Bcz of him we lost important points against two teams. . N without playing two striker its impossible to play attacking football. .

    YOU MUST KNOW THAT ROY IS A BAD MANAGER.HE DOESNT KNOW WHERE AND HOW TO FIELD JOE COLE,WORSE STILL RAUL,MERELES.WHY DID HE BUY THEM THEN?JOE COLE IS BRILLIANT.HE HAS A BAD MANAGER.LOOK AT RAUL MERELES,BRILLIANT PLAYER BUT AT LIVERPOOL YOU WOULD THINK HE IS SOME LUCAS OR SOMETHING

  • Jay Wright says:

    Roy, no you are not the only one that was not excited by cole’s arrival.

    I wanted a couple of specialist wingers bought for the wide roles, not yet another player that is not suited to playing out wide but is stuck out there to accomdate his place in the team as he is not as good as Gerrard in the role behind the striker
