Joe cole isn't overrated. You should have watched him playing before he got this "long term" injury which caused him to stay out for about 1 year. He was one of the best dribbler which is why he was fielded in various positions like right, centre and even left for england. He was part of mourinho success where you see players like damien duff, shaun wright phillips were even offloaded. Robben and Cole were regulars in right and left flank then. He even scores outrageous goals from centre of midfield.

He'll take his time to recover back his old form.

An old video of him:



Just search on youtube and you'll get plenty videos of him.

Probably you don't if u have watched him in and out since he joined chelsea or even before that

You probably started to pay attention on him since he recovered from his long term injury.

No offense, this morning's match wasn't the best of him. But just based on that, you're judging him overrated, no?

Sorry if im being harsh, I just think he's being one of the best english attacker out there. Just give him the time

Ok there...sorry maybe i got you wrongly...

After a third season in England which was punctuated by injury, Robben moved to Spanish club Real Madrid for €35 million.

Real madrid was chasing him and he decided to move. And chelsea have sought out a replacement for him, Florent Malouda.

IMO, if not due to his injury prone, I'd say he's the best left winger in the world. But nowadays you see a lot of good Unorthodox left-wingers (right-footed) like robinho and ribery =P

My 2000-2009 Team of the Decade.

------------Cech------------

Gallas--Desailly--Terry--Le Saux--

--------------Makelele------------

---Lampard--------------Zola----

--Hasselbaink--Gudjohnsen--Drogba-

Sub:

Cudicini
Essien
Babayaro
Carvalho
Joe Cole.

I think ashley cole would be in arsenal's team of the decade

But I'd say cole is better than bridge. He has also always been chosen over bridge for england since early 2000's.

Btw, Petrescu left chelsea in 2000 and Lebeouf in 2001.
