#2 Mario Balotelli (2014-2015)
This was the one deal that typified the mind-blowing stupidity that was Liverpool’s transfer business before the arrival of Klopp.
The signing of the Italian maverick from AC Milan came after then manager Brendan Rodgers had spent the summer scouring the globe for a capable replacement for star striker Suárez who had left to join FC Barcelona.
After a lengthy search that included inquiries for the likes of Karim Benzema, Gonzalo Higuain, Marco Reus and Edinson Cavani, the club eventually looked to settle for the Italian who had enjoyed a bit of a renaissance at Milan after three frustrating seasons at Manchester City.
In 28 matches across all competitions for the Reds, Super Mario hit a paltry four goals and the sight of him sulking and looking disinterested was one that Liverpool fans came to dread.
He failed to get on with teammates and the managers: Rodgers and Klopp.
The most memorable occurrence of his time at Anfield was perhaps the infamous half-time shirt swap with Real Madrid’s Pepe during a UEFA Champions League encounter in which the Reds were 3-0 down in the first half.
