HOULLIER'S BOYS FROZEN OUT AGAIN

Le Tallec has failed to impress

Two of Gerard Houllier's 'future stars' for Liverpool have been frozen out yet again by Rafa Benitez.

The Liverpool boss refuses to be impressed by the attacking prowess of both Florent Sinama Pongolle and Antony Le Tallec, and is planning on another season long loan to the continent.

Both players gained Premiership experience last time round at Sunderland and Blackburn, but neither has done enough to warrant a first team berth this year.

Le Tallec is expected to head to Sochaux in France, with Pongolle going to Osasuna in Spain, the club where Sammy Lee spent a period of his career.

The fact that both attackers are being loaned has intensified the rumours that Liverpool will move for another striker before the transfer deadlines later this month.
