#4 Javier Mascherano
When Mascherano and Tevez landed up at West Ham, the whole world was shocked. In the end, third-party dealings muddled the club’s image and as a result, West Ham were forced to pay a record fine of £5.5 million.

Amongst all the controversy, it was Liverpool who profited as they loaned in Mascherano from the Hammers in the January of 2007. After impressing with some steely displays from the middle of the park, Liverpool made his move permanent in the summer for £18.6 million.
The Argentine’s presence alongside Xabi Alonso and Steven Gerrard added the much-needed grit and solidity in midfield. At one point in time, the trio of Mascherano-Alonso-Gerrard were one of the most feared midfields in Europe.
Mascherano appeared 139 times for the club during a 3-year spell before moving to Barcelona in 2010. The midfield general currently plies his trade for Hebei China Fortune in the Chinese Super League.
