joe Cole trains with liverpool

Joe Cole is back training with
Liverpool after a year in France
with Lille and is determined to
make the most of his second
chance at the club.
Cole turned out to be something
of a misfit in the 2010-11
season after arriving on a free
transfer from Chelsea, with his
only Premier League start after
Kenny Dalglish replaced Roy
Hodgson being the 1-0 loss at
Aston Villa on the final day of
the season. He was then farmed
out on loan after only 12
months at the club.
But with Brendan Rodgers now
in charge, Cole hopes to finally
excel under his third boss at
Anfield.
He said: "It's great to be back.
It's a clean slate for everyone,
so I'm delighted to be back.
Training has been good and it's
nice to be back in England and
nice to be back in Liverpool.
"Of course, I have something to
prove. I don't want to leave
Liverpool one day having not
been a success here or having
left something here. I want to
make an imprint at the club. I've
been a success at West Ham,
Chelsea and Lille. I don't want
people to say that I haven't
here.
"I'd like the opportunity to play,
learn and improve, and join this
great team. It excited me
coming here because I knew
what a big club it was with a
rich history and I wanted to be
part of something. I still do.
"The fire still burns in me to be
a part of it I want to be part
of this club moving in the right
direction. Obviously, when I
came here, I was sent off in my
first game and had a few niggly
injury problems. I only played
something like 700-odd
minutes of Premier League
football in that season.
"It was a tough season for me
by far and away the worst
season in my career because I
just didn't get going."
