Just seen a report which says that Liverpool offering player plus cash...Joe Cole. Don't think  i'm that keen on him if its true

I fucking hope not, I've just used him as my top example of Liverpool players who have provided less value than Ivanhoe.

If we sign Joe Cole I'll give up as the board will have obviously learnt nothing from the last five years. Nobody could that that stupid.

The fee has been agreed. It's the only reason Downing was allowed to go and talk to them. I very much doubt the board will accept money plus an old player making a 6 figure salary. Cole would also need to accept coming here and very likely a significant wage cut. It would have held this deal up for ages. It's straight cash, nice and tidy.

This is the board who after appointing Gerard Houllier (who it has to be said hardly met with universal approval), thought it would be a good idea to appoint Alex McLeish.  Expect to see him on a six year deal soon.

Cole on the last day of the season gave a performance against us so utterly, utterly anonymous, he made Sidwell's usual 15 minutes look positively Messian.

Cole is done as a footballer at this level. In fact he's been done for a good while. Yet, when he signed up there it was like the rebirth of a phoenix.

The national media have always wanked themselves silly over Joe Cole for some reason.

Suely if we'd given them permission to talk to Downing and wave their shitty shirt around, we'd have agreed the deal beforehand in any case?

Don't tell me the idiots have now appointed Martin O'Neill as Director of Football?
