Jamie Carragher names the three worst Liverpool signings in recent history

The Anfield dressing room has seen some of the world's greatest talents over the years.

Luis Suarez, John Arne Riise and Steven Gerrard will go down as just three names to attain cult hero status on Merseyside in recent memory. But, to be fair, Liverpool have also brought some stinkers in in that time. Reds legend Jamie Carragher was recently asked to name the player who he believed to be the worst signing of the bunch and he could only narrow it down to three names during a question and answer session with the Daily Mail. "There's been a few," Carragher said. "El Hadji Diouf has got to be up there. Alberto Aquilani would have to be up there as well," the former Liverpool captain said. "We spent a lot of money on him. He was signed injured, he left injured and I can't remember him not being injured. "I can't believe we signed Mario Balotelli! The thing with Balotelli is everyone always says it's the off-the-field antics, but I wouldn't care if he was doing it on the pitch. People tell me he's got talent but I can't remember him having a good game. "I'm praying with all the money in the Chinese Super League that someone is going to buy him after his loan. I don't think anyone in the Premier League will take him. He has to be No 1 with Aquilani and Diouf."
