10 - Joe Cole

[PlayerWhoShookTheKop]

Hier kommt alles über unsere Neuverpflichtung Joe Cole rein.



Von mir schon einmal ein herzliches Willkommen beim Liverpool Football Club

[rafferty]

Sollten wir Riera noch loswerden, bekommt Cole die Rückennummer 11.
Und das wünsch ich mir ehrlich gesagt auch!

[PlayerWhoShookTheKop]

Da hätte ich auch kein Problem mit. Riera muss so oder so weg und die 11 ist ne Nummer, die zu nem vernünftigen Spieler gehört.

[JoeWi]

Wie geil ist das denn??
Nach einem echt langen und beschissenen Tag, jetzt diese Nachricht! Ich bin happy!
Welcome Joe!!

10 Joe Cole facts

Liverpool today announced the free transfer signing of Joe Cole - but what do you really know about the former Chelsea star?

1) Joe was born on November 8, 1981 and shares a birthday with Brazilian footballer Luis Fabiano and American Pie actress Tara Reid.

2) Despite playing for Chelsea, Joe is no stranger to donning red, having taken on the role of Father Christmas for the past decade! The 28-year-old makes an annual trip to London's Richard House Children's Hospice, where he hands out gifts he has bought for seriously ill children.

3) Joe's other-half - fitness instructor Carly Zucker - featured on a recent series of I'm a Celebrity Get Me out of Here.

4) Cole has singled out two opponents he has relished facing the most over the past 10 years. "I used to love playing against Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira," he said. "They were the two best players in their position in the world at the time and I used to really enjoy the challenge as an 18, 19, 20-year-old. "

5) Liverpool fans wanting to find out more about Cole can buy a copy of his official autobiography, which is out on August 19, 2010.

7) In 2006 he came fourth in the Independent's list of Britain's happiest people.

8) Cole's wonder strike in the 2006 World Cup encounter against Sweden was ranked amongst the top 10 goals of the tournament on the BBC website.

REACTION ON LFC TWITTER


eirikfa @LFCTV JC is vital signing for this season. Will help convince Torres and Stevie that the club can compete amongst the top four again!

PeterrrNomz @LFCTV Joe is an amazing signing, atleast now we have an decent winger who can get in good crosses for Torres.

ScottDraper87 @LFCTV Best news of the summer..... So far!

TallulahMiggins @LFCTV Absolutely thrilled. Keep getting waves of goosebumps... Yeah, & what's with the JoeY?

robbiechef9 @LFCTV apologies for the abuse we once gave you joey! I think I love you now!!

The_Rebel_LFC @LFCTV losing Yossi Benayoun but getting Joey Cole and a few million quid is certainly an upgrade, Hodgson and Purslow have done well!

chriskilleen @LFCTV Shows the clubs intent, let hope Joe and Nando stay fit this season. Very, very pleased with the signing!

boabbyclub @LFCTV great news for #LFC. He choose us over playing in Champs. League. He wouldn't come if our big players were leaving!!!

hafizhamir @LFCTV best thing since El Nino nahhhh hahaha but it surely made my Monday a bit better and sumthing to look forward for the new season

KAMcDermott74 @LFCTV As 'Arry would say - he's a top class player. If the medical team gives him the all-clear could be a fantastic creative influence.

leooutcast @LFCTV This has brought a big beaming smile on my face and got me really excited about LFC next season... Joe Cole is absolutely class! X

Danny_YNWA @LFCTV He'll bring a touch of class to the club, instant spark with Stevie with them being English. And hes paid for for the next 2 years!

det66 @LFCTV great signing, cheers me up no end £5.5 mill for Yossi and we get JC for skelps :-)

Now this is good news. Man, I really do feel glad. It's a quality signing and one of the first signings in the last couple of years I've been really excited about since Torres.

Gazza74
I'm made up now he's signed. He's an excellent player on his day and if we get the best of him he could well be great for us. And who said we'll never sign anyone now we're out the CL?? Joe had 2 CL clubs wanting him and he's chosen us still. Liverpool Football Club, that's all that matters..

Phuzzz
Yes, Yes, Yes!! Awesome news.

Cole soll angeblich die Nummer 7 bekommen, natürlich eine sehr prestigeträchtige Nummer und ich gehe davon aus, dass er besser damit umgeht, als es Keane zu seiner Zeit getan hat.

An dem Jungen werde wir noch viel Freude haben Technisch stark, torgefährlich und gute Flanken, was will man mehr von einem Außenspieler.
