10) Glen Johnson – £17.5m from Portsmouth in 2009 – 5/10
The story of Johnson’s Liverpool career is pretty black and white. Excellent going forward, a liability in defence. Even as he’s matured, defensive lapses have clouded what he can undoubtedly offer in attack. He’s currently one of our highest paid players, and he’ll be released in the summer as a result, with the club hierarchy not prepared to meet his wage demands anymore.
