5 players who shouldn't have signed for Liverpool

#3 Fernando Morientes

Rafa Benitez signed Fernando Morientes for £6.3m in January 2005

After lighting up La Liga with Real Madrid, everybody expected the Spaniard to follow suit in the Premier League. Instead, Rafa Benitez’s experiment was made to look uninspiring. The fact Morientes was 28 when he arrived at Anfield may have played a contributing factor but the hype set out before him negated that fact.

Despite scoring close to 100 goals for Real Madrid, Morientes was only able to muster up 12 goals in 60 appearances for the Reds. Overall, the Spaniard only lasted in England for 18 months before returning to his homeland with his tail between his legs.
