Until you can offer conclusive proof that Joe Cole, in completely different circumstances to those that have been in play at Liverpool, would have flopped with us, (which I've askek you to provide), I think you should stop passing your opinion off as fact.
well the fact that Chelsea refused to offer him a new contract, plus his inconsistency over the last 6-7 years, failing to establish himself as 1st choice at Chelsea or Liverpool helps make a decison

:duh:

The fact he's often injured and end's up being subbed, with very little in the way of the praise from journalists for his performances, is a good enough reason for me.

You're dealing in hypothetical situations - if Redknapp got him in, he might have been a brilliant buy - yeah, like all of the other Redknapp buys we now seem to be attempting to flog. I'm just extrapolating his performances for a top-6 club when he was 1st choice and had a real chance and incentive to push on, unlike his situation at Chelsea. He's been found wanting and proved himself a total mercenary. He's rubbish.

:duh:(two can play at that game).

First choice at Liverpool - demonstrates...blah, blah, blah...are you pissed:shrug:
He was playing for a manager who is specifically noted for his cautious approach to games, and his organisational skills - neither of which is really going to suit JC - I explained this in the original post.
He as sent of in his first game - by the time he came back they were struggling from a bad start, making their naturally cautious manager even more cautious. And has then, as you admit, been injured. (FFS, this isn't even rocket science).
And that is what you call being first choice like it actually demonstrates how JC would have performed if had signed for us in the Summer:duh:

And, please note this carefully, I will say it simply as you didn't seem to get it first time: I asked another poster who continually states as a FACT that JC would definitely have failed if he had signed for us, if he could offer definitive proof of it, or moderate his language to make it clear that, no matter how likely it may have been, that he is stating his opinion and not a fact. And suddenly you decide to put your oar in to point out to me that it's not a fact, but you believe it would have been so - well, thanks for that:duh:

I don't really care is JC signs or not (though if he did I would, like, support him and want him to success - whereas i get the impression some on here would be willing him to fail just so they could feel justified:roll:), what I do care about is one poster (or any others) claiming something is a fact when it is clearly impossible to make such a claim based on something that hasn't actually happened. Do you follow:shrug:
