To be honest i never saw the part about him saying he wouldn't sign for another english club.
I don't agree left back is a priority though at all. People are only saying that because Traore plays there, i'm not interested in Traore, we have Riise, Warnock, Carragher and even Finnan all capable of playing there and are all quality players.
For me, Riise is the long term answer at left back, he's already third best in the league, he doesn't make the most of his attributes from this position which is something he needs to learn, he's definately not a winger, compare him to Robben or Duff and you'll see that, however if the chance to sign Cole did come up, then i think its a move we'd have to do as the lads a class player.
As John said, its also a chance to test the pulling power winning the champions league has, i'm not sure if it will make everyone want to play for us, but it won't hurt.
