What I get from his dealings is he obviously loves to shop in France but also he's a fan of Scandinavian and eastern European players too!!, he also didn't mind shopping in the premiership either whilst he was at Liverpool, he's obviously signed a few flops too in his time (which manager hasn't?) but i must say in the main that's an impressive list, especially his dealings at Lyon, Arsenal just signed Squillaci so it's clear Houllier knows his stuff,

Another interesting fact is all the youngsters he brought through went on to become internationals!!

So the man can spot a talent.
