What do you think. Will BR try to get rid,big drain on our finances. Or do you think he still sees him as a player with something to offer. He knows him from his Chelsea days so could be he will keep him this season then try and offload next summer. Personally I would like him to stay and show some of his pre-Liverpool form. He was a very good player and I was always pleased when he didn't play against us. Good player to help guide the younger ones if they are used in Europa and/or capital cup.
He did used to be a very good player but he had a poor last year or two at Chelsea prior to joining us. He did well in France last year but that league isn't at the same level IMO.
I think Cole will stay for a year. He has had a hard time with us. Dalglish clearly didn't like him, he didn't suit Roy Hodgson's square style and his fitness was very inconsistent. But he has shown through out his career that he can be a quality player. I think he deserves a year to show what he can do. I think if he was going to go he would have gone by now.
Even if he does have a bit of talent left he is far far too unfit nowadays to be a worthwhile addition to our setup, he'd be huffing and puffing after 5 mins. He should take a pay cut and go to a lowerl eague club where he could still be a key player to a slower team, back to West Ham?
