Joe Cole to Tottenham?

We're hearing noises that Tom's favourite footballer is making a move to White Hart Lane. Harry is at it again, wheeling and dealing his way to a £3million transfer for Joe Cole. They worked together at West Ham and he has always been a fan of his, Tottenham were after the trickster last summer when he was available on a free transfer but he obviously ended up at Liverpool. His stay there was a nightmare, he was blighted by injury and general poor performances. Will his fortunes change if he moves back to London? Harry must think so.

Cole is also on a reportedly stupidly high wage, will he be expecting similar wages at Spurs? He is not a player that can demand £90,000 a week... To me, he is pushing his luck at £40,000. If he was on these high wages at Liverpool no wonder why they are happy to let him leave, they wouldn't actually be making any money on Cole, 10 months on those wages would have cost Liverpool £3.6million.

There is no doubt that Joe Cole will be part of the larger squad, he will be in that starting line-up vary rarely. Niko Kranjcar joined Spurs and was a fringe player and now is on his way out due to his lack of first team football. I think he is a better footballer than Cole, Steven Pienaar is also there and he possesses a high level of ability than the London born trickster. This leaves me thinking that Cole will be the fourth choice winger in the club, will he get many games? I've always stressed that Tottenham do need more quality regarding the depth of their team if they are to compete in europe, is Joe Cole the quality that they are in need of?

Maybe I'm totally mistaken, Harry could very well bring out the best in Joe Cole and many people as well as myself will be left eating our own words. Nevertheless a £3million pound signing in the transfer market is an extremely good bargain, the transfer fee is not a large sum so even if he flops Tottenham won't be left red-faced.
