Dejan Lovren (Liverpool)
The £20 million fee that Liverpool paid to Premier League rivals Southampton for centre back Dejan Lovren this summer always looked to be significantly over the odds – and it has proven to be the case so far. Lovren has looked better than Mamadou Sakho and Martin Skrtel, admittedly, but lacks the positional sense and intelligence to really shore up a Liverpool defence that was their Achilles heel last season.
