#1 Luis Suarez (£22.8 million) – 10/10
Trending
At every club, there is always an argument on who is the greatest player and who is the best player to play for the club. At Liverpool, Luis Suarez is considered by many, young and old, to be the latter. His signing in January 2011 was initially overshadowed by Torres’ departure. He scored on debut at Anfield and even took Kenny Dalglish’s famous number seven jersey. By the time he left for Barcelona in 2014, he had scored 82 goals for the club.
Suarez was not a conventional striker but had a hunger similar to Cristiano Ronaldo to score goals. The Uruguayan became one of the world’s best at Liverpool with his skill, vision, finishing and “never give up” attitude almost leading to a title win in the 2013-14 season. He had his share of bad moments at Anfield but his winning attitude was infectious. The imagery of him crying on the pitch when Liverpool were out of the title race after the draw at Crystal Palace is a symbol of his passion.
He remains a Red at heart even after his £75 million move to Spanish powerhouse Barcelona. The £22.8 million spent on him is undoubtedly one of the best pieces of business the club has ever done.
