8. Andy Carroll (Newcastle United to Liverpool)
When Andy Carroll moved to Liverpool for £35 million in January 2011, the Reds attempted to justify the extraordinary outlay by explaining that Carroll effectively cost -£15m and was more like a gift because Chelsea paid £50m for Fernando Torres and that was the real waste of money, and if anything, Carroll was a bargain in comparison and it is Chelsea who should be mocked here.
No, Liverpool.
No.
Andy Carroll was not a bargain or a gift, and it was insane to spend that much on someone who’d only been good for half a season in the Premier League.
