Picture this...but in glorious Liverpool red.
Liverpool FC today received a huge boost to their roster and their hopes to rejoining Champions League football at the end of the season. High fives all around!
Joe Cole signed a four-year deal with Liverpool that is still subject to a medical, and while the word medical was just typed, let's hope Joe can stay away from the medical table during his tenure with the club. He comes over after a free transfer from Chelsea which is also a wonderful thing considering the financial turmoil at Anfield. The man is fit and has proven that he can be one of the top players in the league when playing a full schedule (won Chelsea player of the year in 2008 and was on Premier League Team of the Year in 2006).
I'm going to beat this point to death but, this is a great step in the right direction for Liverpool. A possible midfield of Maxi, Gerrard, Aqua, and Cole....awesome. Now they need to focus on picking up a left-back and that first game against Arsenal doesn't look so bad after all. You can read the rest of the story here. Also, Liverpool fans didn't wait to long to write a few songs for him.
If you asked 1000 people who they think is the all-time greatest player who ever lived, 999 of them would most likely say Pele, Maradona, or Cruyff. So who is the one person would of the thousand that wouldn't say that, well that would be Manchester United's Wes Brown. When asked who the greatest player is, Wes had this to say.
"I know it is going to sound daft this but I would have to say Giggsy"There is the initial knee-jerk reaction of this comment and say that he is crazy, but he defends himself.
"Of course, you have got the likes of Maradona and Pele who were world-class players, but for me it is Giggsy. His overall game and his achievements are just incredible.
"You get one-offs every now and again and he's certainly one of them. To have performed consistently well at the top level for such a long time and stayed with one team is amazing. It is difficult to think of anyone else like Ryan; Sir Bobby (Charlton) is probably the only other player to compare with Giggsy."I think it is safe to say that Ryan Giggs has endured a career that every player and fan of the game would love to duplicate; titles galore, loads of silverware, one team, record holder for most games played for that team, the ability to stay healthy and play at the highest level, and great chest hair. It is a very impressive resume that's for sure, but the 999 other people who say Pele, Maradona, and Cruyff have the upper hand on the "greatest ever" argument. Story at Eurosport.
