Kenny Dalglish has made no secret of his desire to strengthen the Liverpool midfield, and is believed to have spent somewhere in the region of £50m on Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam as well as Stewart Downing. These signings can only suggest King Kenny is not entirely happy with his current crop in midfield, and players such as Joe Cole and Raul Meireles must surely be considering moves away from the Kop rather than being benchwarmers for those players that have been brought in.
Having profited significantly from the sales of both Ashley Young and now Stewart Downing, Aston Villa chief executive Paul Falkner has insisted that “there are replacements in the market who can strengthen our squad.” Alex McCleish is said to be keen to bring Cole to the West Midlands, and will be desperate to fill the voids left on both flanks following the departure of Young and Downing. Villa are also chasing Charles N’Zogbia of Wigan and it is thought that should talks between Cole and the Liverpool hierarchy confirm that the 29-year-old is not part of Dalglish’s plans, then this will almost certainly pave the way for Aston Villa to offer him an escape route.
