WHEN LIVERPOOL FAILED TO BUY ANELKA

Back in 2002 Liverpool had got N. Anelka from the French club P.S.G, on a six month loan. Jammie Carragher says that there was a option for Liverpool to make the six month loan period to a permanent transfer for a sum of 16 million pounds. But the then coach of Liverpool was the French coach Gerrard Houlier, who chose instead of Anelka the Senegal footballer Elhadji Diouf , who was one of the stars of the world cup 2002 it was also Senegals first world cup.
Anelka was then picked up by Chelsea and he has been scoring goal at will.A costly error I must say.
