 | Ouch. You see, this is just cruel. I can't help but feel sorry for Houllier, who has after all failed to make good on a championship-winning potential that Liverpool possiby simply do not have any longer, but this list is pretty damning. The sad thing is that when it works it works - Hyppia and Henchoz both look like excellent signings for the value they have given over the past five years - but others are positively mind-bending, either because of the sum involved for the return (£11m for Heskey? £10m for El-Hadji Diouf? Neither seemed like terrible business then, but now...) or just the sheer quirkiness (Titi Camara?). Also, it reveals that three is the magic number - how many of those signings cost about 3 million?
Possibly the final judgement on the Houllier regime can only be made after the new manager shows what he can do with the players he bought, many of whom should be real assets. It may be that he has assembled a great team that he couldn't manage. Either that or Tranmere Rovers could snap up Milan Baros for a song...
