Joe Cole is the type of player LFC has been lacking for a long time. A skillful attacker who possesses flair, dribbling ability and penetration skills and can play anywhere across the attacking midfield line: right wing, left wing, central attacking midfiled as well as supporting striker behind the central forward. What make him even more valuable is that he is an English, helping the team to meet Premiership newly introduced home grown player requirement. LFC had a similar type of player in Benayoun, who ironically making opposite direction to Chelsea. However, Joe Cole is 2 years younger and is superior in his overall talent. Joe Cole could prove to be signing of the season since he is coming for free as a free agent if he can stay injury free. Most importantly, the arrival of Joe Cole has helped Gerrard and Torres making their decision to stay with the club as Joe's acquisition is a great indication LFC is still as ambitious as ever!
At 28, Joe Cole is still in prime of his career. If he came few seasons ago, Joe Cole may not be as mature and efficient, because Joe Cole has never established as a team-player not until Mourinho installed the importance of team-work into his game during his first 2 seasons with Chelsea. When Joe started his early football career as a hot prospect with West Ham, Joe Cole would always prefer to dribble past players than making assists to teammates. Now, Joe Cole has become a very unselfish player and prefers to assist teammates through simple but efficient passes rather than chasing for personal glory making unnecessary fancy moves.
Will Joe Cole be the missing piece for Torres and Gerrard to challenge for the premiership title? Here's hoping the trio all stay injury-free for the upcoming 2010/2011 season!
