Liverpool have had some incredible players over the years, with stars from Europe, South America and even Australia gracing Anfield.
We’ve seen players come who have gone onto become superstars of the game in Fernando Torres and Luis Suarez, but not every transfer can be a huge hit.
For every Suarez, there’s a Paul Konchesky or a Mario Ballotelli - players who just didn’t hit the mark in that famous red shirt.
With the international break leaving club football fans twiddling their thumbs, LiverpoolWorld has decided to look back on 11 players who were a disaster at Liverpool.
5. Fabio Borini

6. Abel Xavier
Known more for his bright haircut than his playing ability, Xavier joined, surprisingly, from Everton but played for just half a season before being loaned out. He clearly failed to make an impact and as quick as he came, he was gone. Sold to Hannover after one goal in 14 games. | Getty Images
7. Alberto Aquilani
Another player who arrived with a solid reputation, he played 38 times for Italy and also played for Juventus, Sporting, Roma and AC Milan but his three-year-stint at Liverpool brought just 18 appearances and one goal, and two seasons out on loan. £17m down the drain. | Getty Images
8. Mario Ballotelli
Super mario himself, Ballotelli scored just once (and refused to celebrate) in 16 games and was shipped to AC Milan on loan after one season. He then signed Nice in 2016 and it was a transfer that seemed doomed from the very beginning. It’s safe to say there were no fireworks here. | Getty Images
