What Went Wrong for Joe Cole at Liverpool?
When Liverpool picked up Joe Cole on a Bosman free transfer signing from Chelsea in the summer of 2010, it was meant to herald the start of a new era at the club.
Rafael Benitez had departed after a disappointing league campaign the previous year and the club was soon to be taken over, but the board had Cole in mind perhaps as a going-away present.

Joe Cole has made just 39 appearances for the Reds and scored four goals since his move and, presuming there is a willing taker out there somewhere, could well be on his way out of Anfield permanently in the January transfer window.
