Easily one of Houllier's strangest purchases (and that's saying something). Did he ever even see the inside of Anfield?
Did anyone see that pundit (was it sky sports?) who tipped France to win the World Cup on the basis of having Diarra in the squad? Unfortunately he meant Mohammadou Diarra from Lyon (who isn't even French)
It was three years, and he probably spent about one whole week on Merseyside. Definitely the strangest ever Reds signing for me.
Believe it or not I have a signed shirt from pre-season a couple of years ago with his autograph on it. I only knew who it was because he put his squad number next to his signature...
