5) Mario Gomez

Mario Gomez was inches from securing a move to the five-times Champions League winning team Liverpool in the winter transfer season of 2010/11. The centre-forward was in sensational form as he scored goals for fun in the German Bundesliga.
Jamie Carragher made a revelation about Liverpool’s failed attempts at signing the German striker by saying: “Gomez and [Andy]Carroll may have had contrasting fortunes in domestic football over the last few seasons, but their similarities can be underlined by the fact Liverpool almost signed the Bayern Munich striker before we moved for Carroll.”
He added: “The move for Gomez fell through at the last minute when Hodgson was Liverpool manager and since then Gomez has not stopped scoring.” A partnership of Luis Suarez with Mario Gomez would make any Liverpool fan lick his lips.
To make things worse, Andy Carroll scored 11 goals in 56 appearances for club and country and in the same span, Gomez scored 55 goals in 65 games.
