Liverpool transfer news
10) Emile Heskey
Harsh perhaps, but Emile Heskey became something of a laughing stock at Liverpool despite a good start. The former England man simply missed too many easy chances to be considered a good enough player for a top club.

9) Fernando Morientes
Arriving with plenty of expectation after starring for Real Madrid and Spain, Fernando Morientes failed to deliver at Anfield.
8) Erik Meijer
A player with an awful goals record, Erik Meijer was one of many poorly-thought-out signings by Gerard Houllier despite becoming something of an ironic cult hero with the club’s fans.
7) El Hadji Diouf
Not Liverpool quality, El Hadji Diouf is more well remembered for his behavioural problems than any good he did on the pitch throughout his career.
6) David N’Gog
Regarded as a promising youngster, David N’Gog never delivered for Liverpool, scoring just 9 goals in 63 Premier League appearances.
5) Djibril Cisse
Another big name who for some reason flopped in a Red shirt, Djibril Cisse’s best moment was a goal in the 2006 FA Cup final, but he was no doubt a disappointment at the club.
4) Mario Balotelli
Signed in the summer for £16m in what was seen as a risky deal, Mario Balotelli has been surprisingly bad for Liverpool, failing to score a single Premier League goal so far.
3) Andriy Voronin
A strange signing, Andriy Voronin never looked good enough for a club of Liverpool’s size and they struggled to offload the lazy Ukranian.
2) Andy Carroll
A total flop, especially considering his £35m price tag, Andy Carroll seems to have found his level at current club West Ham United.
1) Iago Aspas
A player who looked out of his depth from the start, Iago Aspas is one of the club’s worst signings in living memory and is currently out on loan after just one season.
