Houllier's dealings definately made me wary of the French market alright but I think it's gotten a lot stronger since. I think I'm probably just sick of how over-inflated the English market is and would rather look anywhere else. Thankfully the big prices don't seem to put off Henry and co.

Re. Adam, I'm just not convinced by him yet. Ya he had a great season with Blackpool, but that's still Blackpool. Everything went through him for Blackpool so he had a far better chance of standing out when you watch them. There's no doubt his corners a very good but I think he has a tendency to play the 'Hollywood pass' too often, I've doubts about his fitness and his tracking back is non-existent. Plus paying £10M+ for a player Rangers deemed not good enough and shipped for £500,000 only 2 years ago just doesn't sit well with me. With Aquilani coming back I just don't think we need Adam. Aquilani had the most assists in the Prem in the 2nd half of last season, even though he still played fuck all so I think he has shown he can cope with the Prem. If Kenny can give him a bit more mental toughness we're laughin.

Passing stats can be a bit misleading but I thought this article was interesting enough. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/footbal...r-fee.html (Stats must be from open play because Adam has far more goals and assists)
