'Nights like the semi-final back in 2005, when the crowd were frightening, live long in the memory of anyone who witnessed it, never mind me as an opposition player. That night has always stuck in my head and give me the desire to one day play in a Red shirt, help the club return to its former glory days and have the fans on my side.'

The quotes above have been attributed to new Liverpool FC signing Joe Cole - is he simply telling the fans what they want to hear or is it genuine sentiment from a player making in all likelihood the last major move of his career and clearly looking forward to the prospect?

* Manchester United reportedly offered to pay £10 million for his services as a 16-year-old.
