Brendan Rodgers is rightly getting a fair bit of stick at present for a summer spending spree which looks to have turned his team from title hopefuls to a team perched in mid-team. Yet while Reds fans scream '£20 million for Markovic?', they could cast their minds back and remember these four 'masterstrokes'.
1 / 4
Jan Kromkamp. With Josemi officially terrible, Benitez swapped him - and about £5million - for Villarreal's Kromkamp, who as it turned out was just as bad if not worse. Great business.
2 / 4
Josemi. Liverpool fans forget how many shockers Rafa Benitez had in the market - including his first ever Reds capture, a useless right-back who couldn't defend or go forward.
3 / 4
Bernard Diomede. One of football's greatest mysteries is how Diomede has a World Cup winner's medal. Another Houlier misfit, he left Anfield to play in the French third Division.
4 / 4
Eric Meijer. A massive lump of a striker, Meijer is often cited as the Reds' worst ever player. He scored precisely no goals in 24 games, and a further zero goals in nine games on loan at Preston.
