As I remember it, the rumours were flying around that after his injuries Rafa was looking to sell him and bring in Gareth Barry and Alonso was none too happy. That last season it seemed he knew he was leaving and played out of his skin. Do ye think he'd ever come back if maybe he won a few trophies at RM and decided to move on?

While there are some very defensive teams in France, there aren't many highly quality defenders, at a push there are only a handful I'd rate personally and who'd fit in comfortably in the EPL. That plus his wages... I'd get rid off him asap. Hopefully QPR or whoever else (I see wanting a move back to London), if they do stay up would be stupid enough to stump up something close to £5M for him despite his age.

If he's used as a squad player he's only going to get in the way of the likes of Henderson and Shelvey's development. I would imagine we would probably accept an offer of 1p if a club could take him off our books. Certainly can't see us getting more than a couple of million anyway

He has not been the massive success in France that some of the media would like people to believe. He has scored one goal more in the French league than he did in the Premier league for Liverpool, and a couple of cup games against weaker teams have padded out his stats a lot in terms of goals. He also seems to struggle badly with fitness and the pace of the game. He has had 26 starts and 11 sub appearances since going to France. But of his 26 starts, he has been subbed off 20 times.

From the few stats I've seen he generally was taken off with 20 - 30 minutes left and when he was coming on it was for the last couple of minutes....... not seen any of Lilles games but make what you will of it.
Kess73 wrote: » Do ya really have to ask me of all people as to who I would want from that Lille team? I don't think Lille will want to keep him though, so either Liverpool find some other club to take Cole, or they will be stuck with him.
