KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum getting rid of joe cole!!

thats true..but in the intial games he was really very god...don't know what happned to him after that....i might give him another chance but his 90 k wages are too big...so i would axe him and keep player like aqalani instead...as he is young and a better player...

One of WHAT things?
It was the same at Chelski. We need to know what's wrong with the lad.
I thought his movement early in the season was quite sensational tbh, but very very little impression since.
Absolute total mystery, and disappointment too, as I really thought he was going to be a great signing for LFC.

What is it when good players sign for lfc they turn to mush

not being too harsh on the lad but when did anyone decide he was a good player? Chelsea gave him a whole season after his injury to earn a new contract - he failed. For years many managers have tried and failed to bring out consistently all the talent he obviously has. The fact is at 29/30yrs old he has been unable to hold down any position of note at club or international level.
get rid I say

The plain and simple truth is that hes crocked, done for, stick a fork in him. It what it all boils down to.

would be good to get rid of his wages but then again there are other players (jova, poulsen, konchesky etc) i'd get rid of before selling cole.

Asking a player to be fit is the base minimum you can ask, and it looks like Cole never is. The question is, why? Poor training methods, or a poor lifestyle from the player himself?

I think his oversized head maybe the cause of his fitness problems,I mean could you imagine trying to run with an 'its a knockout' comedy head on?...no me neither.

If you ask me it's a Chelski plot to prevent us from returning to winning ways - conspiracy thats what it is

people are saying sell cole and get aqualani back.

i think aqualani earns around £70k a week at liverpool another player that needs to go imo. he might look good in Serie A and did put in some decent performances towards the end of last season but at the end of the day we all know he's injury prone and if he takes his time adapting to the premiership and falls down in the pecking order at lfc next season his value will vastly decrease.

i say wipe our hands of all of these high earning mediocre has beens, get the wage bill slashed and sign some quality players who can compete for the next 5 seasons. let the youngsters provide back up and depth and once the first 11 has improved then look to improve our bench.

poulsen, aqua, jovanovic, maxi, cole, konchesky, kyriagkos, aurelio, degen

thats about £300k a week

also younger players like insua, spearing and n'gog could go too, the last 2 though could provide some depth until we have fully strengthened
