12) Jermaine Pennant (Birmingham City)
Enjoyed a decent spell at Liverpool, but was never likely to become a regular first-team player. He was eventually shipped out a couple of years later.
11) Charlie Adam (Blackpool)
Had a couple of bright moments, but was never likely to suit Brendan Rodgers’ desired style of football. He was quickly moved, and is currently struggling for game time at Stoke.
10) Rickie Lambert (Southampton)
The boyhood Liverpool fan completed a lifelong dream when he arrived at the club this summer. The goals haven’t flowed for him, but he remains a decent back-up option and offers something different.
