KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Glen Johnson and Joe Cole

Perhaps and no, respectively. Johnson has shown that he can act as cover for LB, which means we're sorted for fullbacks next season after we buy a top LB. However we've shown that we have good depth at fullback, so maybe Johnson is not essential to our plans; he's an option that I think Kenny would like to keep though.

Cole on the other hand is a totally unnecessary, aging wage burden.

For those who say stevie is over paid. Have a look at yourselves!! Here's man who has been rewarded for his efforts over the last decade or so and in the middle of his contract. Just because a player is injured it doesnt justify his wages. You are a legend Stevie and you have brought many happy moments to the liverpool fans. you deserve every penny you can get.

I think we are getting ahead of ourselves with Johnson here. Yes we have a few youngsters coming in that could play at RB but bottom line is, Flanagan would not have played had Kelly or Johnson been. Johnson is one of our important players whether he has performed this season or not. Kelly is a great RB but remember his best position is a centre back! We are having a CB problem, so why not try him in his prefered position and could find out we don't need a centre half anymore. This leaves us to a fight off between Johnson and Flanagan, I definately know which player I would play and thats Johnson. We need to keep him, selling him would be an absolute mistake in my opinion as I have explained.

why? he's young and fit let him be a CB when he loses a touch of energy and pace and when he's much more experienced and can read the game better right now he's a pretty complete RB it isn't broke, so what are you trying to fix?

its euro boys dumb it down a little

for the next 5/6 years i personally see him as a RB
