West Ham boss Avram Grant believes Joe Cole will return to his best form
West Ham United manager Avram Grant has claimed that Liverpool’s out-of-sorts midfielder Joe Cole will soon regain his form. Grant’s comments come in the wake of the impending clash between West Ham and Liverpool on Sunday, 27th February.
Since joining Liverpool in the summer of 2010, Cole has failed to find the form that made him an icon at Stamford Bridge. His debut for the Reds was marred by an unfortunate red card, and since then, the midfielder has struggled to make an impact at his
new club. Knee and hamstring problems have also served to limit his playing opportunities in recent weeks, with Cole only recently returning to action in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809’s Europa League clash against Sparta Prague.
Reds boss Kenny Dalglish has already stated that he will be patient with the struggling midfielder, claiming that he will give Cole all the time he needs to regain his form. Dalglish rates the former Chelsea player as one of the best midfielders in England,
and West Ham manager Avram Grant agrees.
Grant witnessed first-hand what http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786. He has faith that the player will soon regain his form.
The Hammers boss said, “Joe is a very good player, a very, very nice player. I think he started well, then he had an injury, and then it was not so good for him. Sometimes when you are injured it's not easy to come back and it was a little bit difficult
for them but I am sure he will be very good for Liverpool.”
Grant added, “If not, then they can bring him to me."
West Ham owners David Sullivan and David Gold have made no secret of their wish to bring Joe Cole to Upton Park. The Hammers were serious in their bid to sign the midfielder from Chelsea last summer, but they ultimately lost out to Liverpool after failing
to meet the player’s wage demands.
Joe Cole is set to start for Liverpool when the Reds face West Ham on 27th
February. While Avram Grant believes that Cole will regain his form, he will be hoping that doesn’t happen when the two sides clash on Sunday.
