Always believe in Joey Cole?

Rumours on Twitter that West Ham are trying to sign back Joe Cole from Liverpool. Good player, but he can't now get in the Liverpool or England sides, though he apparently matured as a person and footballer through his loan spell in France. But the problem was the side looked too old at Swansea and should you ever go back? You'd trust Harry Redknapp to get the best out of an ageing former star, but not sure if Joey could fit into the current Allardyce side... though sentimentally, if not logically, it would be nice to see him in claret and blue again.
