10 Players Liverpool should not have sold

10. Dominic Solanke

The young forward was brought in from Chelsea but never really settled into the side. He was never given enough chances. He should have been given more time to play and prove himself as Klopp is an expert in harnessing young talent and Liverpool could have now had another ideal back up to their dangerous front three.

9. Emre Can

He left on a free transfer as the club failed to convince him to stay. However, Can was an important member of Klopp’s midfield as he had that extra zest in him to score out of nowhere or create something out of nothing. He now plays at Juventus.

8. Alberto Moreno – Players Liverpool should not have sold

This transfer is put in not because the player was very successful at Liverpool but rather because Liverpool needs a back up player in their team who can carry the team in case Andy Robertson is injured. With no Moreno, Liverpool have no shielding in their defence.

7. Daniel Sturridge – Players Liverpool should not have sold

Even though he is no longer the player he once was, Dan Sturridge is still one of the best forwards to call of the bench in the Premier League. His goal against Chelsea last season when he came off the bench and scored a screamer to earn Liverpool a draw is the reason why it is always good to have a Sturridge on the bench.

6. Xabi Alonso

After making 210 appearances for Liverpool across five years, Spanish midfielder Xabi Alonso bade the club farewell and joined Real Madrid on a transfer fee of £30 million. Alonso left Anfield with 18 goals and 9 assists to his name.

Alonso spent 5 years at Real Madrid and made 236 appearances for the club, scoring 6 goals and providing 32 assists. He won several trophies at Real Madrid including a second Champions League title in the 2013-14 season where he was named in the squad of the season.

5. Fernando Torres – Players Liverpool should not have sold

After spending three years at Liverpool, Fernando Torres left the club to join Chelsea in January, 2011. The Spaniard ended his Liverpool career with 81 goals and 20 assists to his name.

Torres’ transfer fee of £50 million was a British transfer fee at the time and this made him Liverpool’s most expensive departure then.

Torres made 172 appearances for Chelsea from 2011-2015, scoring 45 goals and 35 assists. He won the Champions League with them in the 2011-12 season before winning the Europa League with them the following season. Torres scored in the Europa League final against Benfica.

He has helped Barcelona lift several trophies that include the treble in the 2014-15.

Last summer, he joined Bayern Munich in a deal worth £35million as he seeked a new challenege in his professional career.

1. Philippe Coutinho
