What have Thierry Henry and Joe Cole got in common? They've both been spotted around Liverpool city centre more than the Superlambanana in recent times.
Just as there were numerous sightings of Henry from Lime Street to the Lobster Pot prior to him joining Barcelona three years ago, rumours were rife this week that Cole was camped out at Melwood.
Although we are yet to confirm reports of the former Chelsea player abseiling down the Radio City Tower in a Father Christmas suit, there is no question that Cole - with his skill, attacking flair and goalscoring ability - fits the bill for Liverpool.
While his wage demands are said to have been a stumbling block at Chelsea, the fact he's a free agent makes him an attractive proposition for Roy Hodgson.
The Reds boss is expected to work on a tight budget unless he opts to cash in on any of the club’s more saleable assets.
Hodgson has made it clear he has no intention of letting Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard walk away without a fight.
Capturing players of Cole’s ability could be key to persuading them to stay.
