3. Andy Carroll (Newcastle United to Liverpool)- £35 million
Luis Suarez was Liverpool’s record signing only for a very few hours. Who replaced him with that record in 2011? Yes, Andy Carroll. Carroll was impressive for Newcastle and that managed to generate interest from Liverpool who were desperate to strengthen their front-line. They were so desperate that they went onto complete what many believe as the worst transfer of all time. Carroll did not live upto the big money move and a continuous streak of injuries did not help him and the club. He was tagged by many as the next big thing in England. But Carroll and the Liverpool saga will not be forgotten by any in the near future.
