Tbh he was alright, carrying a little to much weight maybe, his touch wasn't there but the movement and skill was. And for a free transfer, i don't think he was that bad, just needs to stay injury free and get regular football.
Joe Coles well over weight which has been said above and well out of match practice, but the quality is still there.
Not awful, worth a risk for me, when clubs like United where potentially interest, there is obviously class in there. If he can get fit he will do a job.
when Cole missed that chance in the 1st half, my 1st response was what a waste of money, everytime he has played for Liverpool, he looks very disinterested and well for 90k a week why should he care
An overrated player, might be good value in a soccer skills circus but if you need somebody to have an impact on your team then you will be holding your breath waiting for him.
