It would be different if he had gradually been improving season after season but he hadn't. Indeed when talking about his 'legacy', Houllier cherry-picked some of his less laughable signings and omitted to even mention Djimi so clearly even he didn't think improvement was imminent. it's just nice that at last we have a coach who is capable of improving players,

Lets face it though, if he could get to even Sol Campbells level it'd be a bit of an improvement.
Get to even Sol Campbells level ?? Oh yeah, because Sol Campbell, would never get into our first team would he?? No, because we have (fanfare please).............Djimi Traore, a guy we were prepared to offload to the bluenoses for a then 'bite their arm off' fee of £1.5 million ....................Completey Ridiculous comment me thinks

I kind of suspect, the flaw to Houlliers buys compared to Benitez buys, is that:
- Houllier buys players that are of great potential but not necesserily needed. Or their style of play just doesn't match with the rest of the team.
Like I've been watching Cheyrou. I don't think he's a bad player. In fact he's a good player (Before he came to Liverpool, in France he was dubbed as the next BIG THING, top 5 best players in France if i remember, with being a 10+ goal scoring midfielder per season). But everytime he gets the ball, he seems to pass it to nobody. Although if you look at his passes, those are intelligent passes/runs. But nobody reads him. I think it's to do with style of play, thats why players like Cheyrou, Veron don't seem to cut it at all in the premiership. (And I'm very sure, if we bought Zidane, he might not be able to give us his best here as well).
