Possibly the greatest transfer window in our history.
I'm totally made up for a full on Premiership assault!
OUT
PAUL KONCHESKY
To: Leicester City. Fee: £1.5m
A remnant of the ill-fated Roy Hodgson era, left-back Konchesky was offloaded to Sven-Goran Eriksson’s ambitious Championship.
SOTIRIOS KYRGIAKOS
To: VFL Wolfsburg. Fee: Free
The Greek defender did a job at Anfield, but was never likely to survive Kenny Dalglish’s squad reshape. A free transfer to Germany suited all parties.
DANIEL AYALA
To: Norwich City. Fee: £850,000
A promising talent, but had fallen way down the Anfield pecking order. Paul Lambert’s newly-promoted Canaries could prove an ideal environment for the 20-year-old.
EMILIANO INSUA
To: Sporting Lisbon. Fee: Undisclosed
The Argentine left-back was once a bright prospect at the club, but lost his way after a promising debut campaign.
CHRIS MAVINGA
To: Rennes. Fee: £1m
A talented French U20 star, Mavinga failed to make the grade after his move from PSG in 2009.
THOMAS INCE
To: Blackpool. Fee: Undisclosed
The winger, son of former Anfield star Paul, completed his move to Ian Holloway’s side, having spent part of last season on loan at Notts County.
GERARDO BRUNA
To: Blackpool. Fee: Free.
Another promising talent who never reached his full potential, the ex-Real Madrid forward also went to Blackpool.
NABIL EL ZHAR
To: Levante. Fee: Free
The first Moroccan to play for the Reds, El Zhar struggled to hold down a regular place.
MILAN JOVANOVIC
To: Anderlecht. Fee: Free
A year after arriving on a free transfer from Standard Liege, ‘The Snake’ was off back to Belgium.
CHRISTIAN POULSEN
To: Evian. Fee: Undisclosed
Another who failed to shine after arriving at Anfield last summer, the Dane made just 21 appearances.
DAVID NGOG
To: Bolton. Fee: £4m
A £1.5m signing who provided value for money during some difficult times. The 22-year-old striker was never likely to usurp Andy Carroll, Luis Suarez or Dirk Kuyt in Dalglish’s starting line-up.
JOE COLE
To: Lille. Fee: loan
The former England international heads for France after a miserable first year at Anfield following his arrival from Chelsea.
ALBERTO AQUILANI
To: AC Milan. Fee: loan
The Italian returned home and Milan will buy him on a permanent basis once he’s made 25 appearances.
DANIEL PACHECO
To: Rayo Vallecano. Fee: loan
The 20-year-old Spaniard went on a season-long loan to Atletico Madrid, but he was immediately loaned to Rayo Vallecano.
STEPHEN DARBY
To: Rochdale. Fee: loan
The Academy graduate will spend the season with League One Rochdale.
PETER GULACSI
To: Hull City. Fee: loan
The Hungarian will gain experience at the KC Stadium.
RAUL MEIRELES
To: Chelsea. Fee: £12m
SHOCK last-minute deal saw the Portugal midfielder leave Anfield for Chelsea after just a season.
PHILIPP DEGEN
To: Anywhere but here! :laugh:
IN
JORDAN HENDERSON
Age: 21
From: Sunderland
Fee: £16m
The England Under-21 international was Kenny Dalglish’s first signing of the summer as the Reds moved ahead of Mancheseter City and Arsenal to get their man.
A versatile and energetic performer, the Wearsider has settled in on Merseyside, and scored his first Liverpool goal in the recent win over Bolton.
CHARLIE ADAM
Age: 25
From: Blackpool
Fee: £6.75m
Liverpool had to wait six months to get their man, having failed in a bid to sign the Scotland midfielder back in January.
Adam’s range of passing and accuracy from set-pieces have already been in evidence at Anfield, where he has formed a promising partnership with Lucas Leiva.
STEWART DOWNING
Age: 27
From: Aston Villa
Fee: £20m
A winger of pace and guile, Downing snubbed advances from Arsenal to join Liverpool, having been heavily linked with the club back in 2008.
Eyebrows were raised at the fee paid for the former Middlesbrough man, but his performances since his arrival have quietened the doubters significantly.
ALEXANDER DONI
Age: 31
From: Roma
Fee: Free
A Brazilian international, Doni arrived at Anfield to provide competition for first-choice goalkeeper Pepe Reina.
He will hope to avoid following in the footsteps of forgotten understudies Patrice Luzi, Pegguy Arphexad, Daniele Padelli, Charles Itandje, Diego Cavalieri and Brad Jones.
JOSE ENRIQUE
Age: 25
From: Newcastle United
Fee: £5.5m
Another long-time target of the Reds, the Spanish full-back sealed his switch to Anfield early in time for the new season, and has not looked back since.
Pacy, composed and solid in defence, the former Villarreal looks like he will nail down what has been a problematic position for Liverpool in recent years.
SEBASTIAN COATES
Age: 21
From: Nacional.
Fee: £7m
A towering central defender who helped Uruguay to glory in the Copa America, Coates was persuaded by friend Luis Suarez to snub Manchester City and Atletico Madrid in favour of a move to Anfield.
CRAIG BELLAMY
Age: 32
From: Manchester City.
Fee: Free
The Welshman made a shock return to Liverpool late last night. Signed by Rafa Benitez for £6m from Blackburn in 2006. Scored nine goals in 42 appearances before moving to West Ham for £7.5million. Could prove a valuable and experienced part of Kenny Dalglish’s new-look squad.
