interestingly i remember him saying he thought Houllier had gone a bit stale, at the time i remember thinking "are you talking about yourself?"
If he had have stayed them we probably wouldnt have bought Garcia, think Parry said at the time if Owen stayed we wouldnt have got Garcia so maybe same case here, Owen would have carried on scoring but not sure about Heskey.
The treble season he was fantastic but he never kicked on from that, following season he scored one goal between the end of august and february.
02-03 he only scored 9 and again had a long drought at some point that season.
I remember his final season i think the last straw for many fans was at home to Man United he was clean through in the last minute and he just fell over and slid the ball wide.
We weren't seeing enough goals for him anymore or consistency, there was games (dont laugh) he was unplayable because when he had confidence he had some excellent close control, he was strong and quick and could score but i think he lost confidence too easily and he would be too easily muscled off the ball by someone half his height.
He never really got close to the treble season form again. Shame, he was bloody good that season
