Great to see the Reds bringing in Joe Cole (pending medical) - and that now makes it 14 players currently on Liverpool's books that were at this World Cup, and another 8 who have previously played for the Reds (Heskey, Crouch, Mark Gonzalas, Alonso, Arbeloa, Kewell, Alou Diarra, Anelka).


One more player past or present and that would represent an WC entire squad - 1/32nd of total WC representation.

Not sure about that Mick, he was egular for England and Chelsea before injury messed it up for him.


I said when it was announced he was leaving Chelsea that I'd love him to come to Liverpool, but doubted we'd get him. I'm made up he's coming, and hope it's the sort of signing that will convince others to stay.

Cole's signing is good news for 'pool especially when you consider they are not a Big 4 CL club anymore...I thought he would be nailed on to stay in Ldn and go to Spurs and play under 'arry again, but he obviously wanted more of a guarantee of first team football than being a bit part squad player like he was at Chelski...big fish small pond syndrome ;-)
I think Joe Cole is a great signing for Liverpool, for the player and the club. I'm a little gutted that he didn't come to Spurs though. He's quality with bags of talent. That is quite a coup Roy Hodgson has pulled off there. Liverpool fans should be rightly impressed with that.

Hogdson has nothing to do with signings. Its all in the hands of the man who brought in to sell the club, hence players being sold for millions and new ones brought in on a bosman. Wonder where that money is going....

Cole


(*Forgot about him in my earlier post)

Michael Owen must be gutted he didn't do another 12 months at Newcastle as he'd now be a nailed on certainty to re-join Liverpool but as it is he burnt his bridges by going over to the dark side.


Not sure Joe Cole would have come to Anfield if Rafa had been in charge - so fair play to the man who was apparently once a school PE teacher in SE22!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
