Robben says his old club Chelsea boobed by letting Cole go and says he will be a huge success alongside Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres for the Reds.
"With a front three of Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres and Cole, I think Liverpool will be a real force in the Premier League," said the Dutchman.
"Last year was a freak year, but if those three click I can see them seriously challenging for the title.
"You look at those as a front three and you struggle to find a better front three in Europe - and I include Barcelona's in that.
"I think it was a big mistake of Chelsea's letting Joe go, and I am sure the fans feel the same way. At 28, even with his injuries, Joe must still be a £15 million-pound player in the current market."
Gerrard claims Cole is as skillful on the ball as Barcelona and Argentina star Lionel Messi - and Robben agrees.
"I read Gerrard's words about Joe being as good as Messi on the ball and I couldn't agree more," said the Bayern Munich winger.
''After training with him for so long I can tell you some of the things he can do with a football are as good as anything I have ever seen.
"If Joe is now played in a more central position he will score and create a lot of goals, I see him as a real runner for Player of the Season. He is not just about tricks, though - his vision is fantastic. The chances he will create for Torres will help Liverpool to have a trophy-winning season."
