Three that worked...
Luis Suarez: £22.8m from Ajax in 2011 – seldom could you take your eyes off Suarez and not simply because of the controversies that engulfed him. Sold for £75m.
Xabi Alonso: £10.5m from Real Sociedad in 2004 - was crucial in the team that pushed Manchester United close in 2009. Sold for £30m.
Sami Hyypia: £2.5m from Willem II in 1999 - proof that bargains have been available, he was signed after former Liverpool chief executive Peter Robinson was tipped off.
Three that didn’t...
Andy Carroll: £35m from Newcastle in 2011 – signed on the day Fernando Torres left for Chelsea. Injuries hampered him before Brendan Rodgers quickly ushered him out of the door.
Alberto Aquilani: £17.1m from AS Roma in 2009 - brought in to replace Xabi Alonso, injuries meant he was seldom seen before returning to Italy.
Christian Ziege: £5.5m from Middlesbrough in 2000 - Liverpool battled in the High Court to sign the German and were later fined £20,000 for an illegal approach. The defender did not prove worth the hassle.
