#2 Andy Carroll (Newcastle United to Liverpool)
The big, strong English centre-forward was brought in by Liverpool to offset the loss of Fernando Torres. He was signed along with Luis Suarez to ensure Liverpool maintained their firepower in front of goal. While Suarez enjoyed a wonderful spell at Anfield, the same can hardly be said for Carroll.
Carroll is one of the best headers in the Premier League. His strengths are best utilised when the wingers whip in early crosses, thus enabling him to out-jump and outmuscle the opposition defenders. However, Liverpool were unable to play to his strengths and he endured a forgettable couple of years in Merseyside.
The Englishman was signed for a club record fee, totalling £35m. However, a combination of injuries and Liverpool’s non-inclination to play to his strengths led to him being sold three years after his arrival.
The money wasted on the signing and Carroll’s failure to leave his stamp on Anfield gets him the No.2 spot.
