surely Houllier, having worked with the cream of French youth football for the last 3 years will have a chance of bringing in a few little gems from over there, without having to rely on a past his best injury prone michael owen
When Newcastle were relegated I thought he might be worth a punt. Now? No thank you.
Three words : No thank you.
Just me guessing here, but if we do get GH I reckon come January, he may rekindle his premiership relationship with Michael Owen ?Like I said, just a guess on my part.

Houllier admits Owen interestNew Villa boss keen on reunion with former England forwardLast updated: 16th September 2010 Houllier: With Owen at LiverpoolHe has always been in my thoughts.Gerard Houllier on Michael Owen. New Aston Villa manager Gerard Houllier has confirmed his interest in working with Michael Owen again. Houllier, who will officially begin work at Villa Park next week, has been linked with a swoop for the Manchester United forward after sealing his own switch back to England.The French tactician worked with the former England striker for six years during their time together at Liverpool and the new Villa chief has not dismissed the chances of a reunion."He has always been in my thoughts," Houllier Canal+. "I like him (Owen), as a player and a man."Houllier also dismissed suggestions that Owen, 30, was no longer capable of producing goals at Premier League level."I went to Liverpool on September 4 for Jamie Carragher's testimonial, and I saw Michael play a half of football," he said."He still has the legs for it."FutureHoullier's comments come on the same day as Owen revealed that he could be growing increasingly discontented with life on the bench at Old Trafford."You can only do your best and prepare and train well, so that you are ready when the manager calls on you," said Owen."After that, it's up to the manager who he chooses."It sounds easy, but probably the most difficult thing is not playing for a couple of weeks and then all of a sudden getting called up and being mentally and physically right to perform well."At the end of the season, I'll look and think, 'Was I happy with the amount of games I was available for?', 'Did I score enough goals in the games when I played?' and 'Did I play well enough in those games?'"You look at highlights of the season, did we win anything, things like that. But I wouldn't put any goal or appearance totals out there because, at a club like this, you never know when the manager is going to use you."Man. Utd v Liverpool Last Goalscorer: Owen, M. 7/1
