Will he believe again?

Injured?

Finished?

Doesn't look good. 6 games barely a look in so far for him.

I thought he might flourish under KD.
 
The irony is I think he'd actually suit the way we're playing now.

Steve Clarke would know all about him.

Maybe we're just being overly cautious bringing him back from injury.

Thats exactly what I thought but still no sign of him getting game time 🙁
 
I'm loathe to moan all the fucking time about petty things, I really am. But what was wrong with the 14 other 'Joe Cole' threads currently debating his future?

I was thinking the same thing.
What I don't get is why people are obsessed with him?
 
Im certainly not obsessed with him, but I am curious to know whats going on. According to the offal the only player who is injured is Jay.

Tweaked his knee in training. Doubtful for Chelsea.

Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona side has changed the way people think about football.

In the last two years, they have reversed the ugly orthodoxy that the only way to dominate football was with defence-led, highly-functional, militarily-drilled teams.

They have killed the idea that new football relies on putting together a team of Ivan Dragos - chiselled, towering, running machines who crush the opposition with brute force.

There is no place for a Xavi or a Messi in that kind of system, which is why, essentially, it is bankrupt.

Call it The Mourinho Doctrine, if you want. In his system, the manager is the one with the charisma. The rest are grey men.

His players fit into set positions and work themselves into the ground - Joe Cole becomes a success by playing at left midfield and losing what is special about him.

Sure, Cole was probably happier then than he is rotting in Liverpool’s reserves at the moment, but the seeds of his struggles were sown under Mourinho.

Under Mourinho, he ceased to become the creative player he had been lauded as before. He lost the confidence that he was special.

At Barcelona, he might have become Xavi or Iniesta. He might have been trusted to be himself. He might have grown and grown.

Because that is what Barcelona does with special talent. It nurtures it and loves it. It is not suspicious of it.

It is one of the many reasons why its club motto rings so true.

Mes Que Un Club, the writing says on the seats at the Nou Camp - More Than A Club.

Haha what a pathetic motto, "more than a club".
How could it be more vapid and pointless?
It sounds like something you'd find floating amongst the faeces of the summer temp copywriter in the business to business marketing department.
How can a grown man fawn so ridiculously over a club creaking at the seams with astronomical wages and a mountain of debt?
Yeah, they are brilliant at the moment, but it isnt just their magical philosophy that got them there is it.

Likewise.

I know he's english which immediately makes him a target for some but he still does have something different from many in the team and, utilized properly, it would be a great benefit to the club. I'd genuinely like to know what's going on with one of our highest profile signings in the summer - and I'm still not obsessed by him. 😱
