Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp says Joe Cole chose right in moving to Anfield. The former Chelsea midfielder had offers from Arsenal and Tottenham, but chose Liverpool ahead of Champions League football.
Redknapp wrote in his column for the Daily Mail: "Joe Cole has made the right decision. Going to Anfield to play for Liverpool is the right move.
"I know my dad, Harry, tried to take him to Tottenham and I can see why. He's a clever footballer, who unlocks defences and who still has so much to offer, an old fashioned dribbler.
"Tottenham have those players. Luka Modric, Niko Kranjcar ... would Joe have got into the team? I doubt it.
"Of course, in what they hope will be a Champions League season, they need strength in depth but he needs to be playing first team football now.
"At 28, Joe cannot continue to be an impact substitute. He's better than that. He needs a manager to love him. He didn't have it with Chelsea, he hasn't had it with England.
"When he played for my dad at West Ham, he performed better with an arm around the shoulder. He will get that from Roy Hodgson.
"Signing Cole is a coup for the new Liverpool manager."
