Its a shame that Houllier gave this boy the Captaincy, cos at the same time, Houllier was hoping for support from the fans by making a bold move like that. A boy captaining the club he barracked for all his life, is a boyhood dream for all young players. At the same time, Houllier gave the weight of expectation and burden of a sucessful club, and that is a huge mistake to give that to a player who is just finding his rythym in the game. He will leave, only because we put such great stress on the boy, when all he wats to do is to play. Its obvious. He will go, and it will be great for the club to recieve such financial rewards for bringing up the lad, the money will go a long way to buy a replacement, and start to build a team that has depth in every position.
