4) Xabi Alonso – 2004 – £14m from Real Sociedad
For five years Alonso starred for the Reds, winning a Champions League in 2005 and an FA Cup in 2006. He is easily one of the best passers of a football ever to play Premier League football, and he eventually left for Real Madrid for a whopping £30m in 2009. Best known for scoring from beyond the halfway line. Twice!
