Redknapp: I would like to bring Joe Cole to QPR The Rs manager has admitted he is interested in signing the Liverpool midfielder and says he will talk to Brendan Rodgers as he attempts as his wages may prove a stumbling block The Hoops begin 2013 bottom of the Premier League and linked with a whole host of players and Redknapp has admitted Cole is a transfer target. "Iâve got a lot of time for Joe as a player and as a person,â said Redknapp. âIâd like to bring Joe here if I can but the deal would have to be right for the club. âWe couldnât do a deal as it [Cole's wages] is at Liverpool. Iâll have to speak to Brendan Rodgers. Weâll have a chat when the timeâs right.â The former Tottenham boss has also been reported to be interested in signing Nicolas Anelka and Loic Remy but Redknapp says he is not expecting any deals to be done early in the window. "I wouldn't have thought so," Redknapp told Sky Sports when asked whether there would be any new arrivals on New Year's Day. "We're not doing anything really, we'll just wait and see. We've got a game tomorrow against Chelsea, then a cup game [against West Brom] and we've got a little break after that, so we'll see what happens. "It's difficult at this time of year, it's very difficult to make signings. "Who's going to let people go? People hold you to ransom if they know you're desperate. It's a very difficult time."
Joe Cole doesn't appear to have been at the top of his game for a considerable time but maybe Harry is the manager who can inspire him to reach those heights again. Personally, I'm not convinced but Harry's no mug. It's not an inspirational signing but I guess we're going to struggle to attract top talent.
he would be a good signing but i think we already have good enoigh midfielders. i would like diame more than cole.
