Premier League clubs' best and worst transfers since 2009

In the run-up to the January transfer window, we're ranking some of the best and worst signings by the Premier League's elite clubs over the past decade https://www.w88thais.com/w88-entrance-latest-updates-for-mobile-pc/ .

Transfer window grades: Tracking every big signing from Europe's top clubs
We looked at every arrival from the 2009-10 season onward -- though only permanent deals count, so no loans or promotions from the youth team (sorry, Marcus Rashford) -- and whittled down each list to five .

There's no magic formula to decide how they rank; it's purely how we think fans (having asked a few ourselves) would place them. No doubt you will agree with some and disagree with others!

5. Roberto Firmino, 2015-
Bought for: £29m from Hoffenheim
Appearances: 210; Goals: 69

Just edging out Philippe Coutinho (who signed for £8.5m and was sold to Barcelona for £142m five years later), Firmino is here because of his importance to Jurgen Klopp's team. Defending from the front, linking play, scoring goals ... he does it all.



4. Virgil van Dijk, 2018-
Bought for: £75m from Southampton
Appearances: 90; Goals: 8

He might no longer be the world's most expensive defender (it's now Harry Maguire at £80m), but arguably Van Dijk is the world's best. In fact, £75m actually seems like a bargain given how much he has affected a Liverpool back line that has also benefited from the arrival of Alisson and Andy Robertson w88 mobile .

3. Luis Suarez, 2011-14
Bought for: £22.8m from Ajax
Sold for: £75m to Barcelona
Appearances: 133; Goals: 82

Few knew how good a signing this was at the time, but the Uruguay international has become one of the best strikers in the world. He completely changed Liverpool's attack and the club stuck by him through thick and thin before he was sold for a massive profit.

2. Mohamed Salah, 2017-
Bought for: £34m from Roma
Appearances: 121; Goals: 80

It was a bit of a gamble to spend so much on a player who flopped at Chelsea just a few years earlier, but Liverpool saw Salah's potential. He repaid that faith with 44 goals in 52 games in his first season and hasn't looked back since.

1. Sadio Mane, 2016-
Bought for: £34m from Southampton
Appearances: 140; Goals: 70

The Senegal winger has blossomed since the arrival of Salah and is arguably more important than the Egypt star. This was another gamble, given Mane had only two seasons in the Premier League under his belt, that has come off.

5. Loris Karius, 2016-
Bought for: £4.7m from Mainz
Appearances: 49

Few fans knew much about Karius when he made the move to Liverpool, and it was a surprise that he claimed the No. 1 spot. But a meltdown, which cost Liverpool the 2018 Champions League final against Real Madrid, put paid to the goalkeeper's Anfield career.

4. Sebastian Coates, 2011-15
Bought for: £7m from Nacional
Sold for: £2m to Sunderland
Appearances: 24; Goals: 2

Highly rated when he first arrived, the Uruguayan defender failed to win over the fans with lumbering performances, then suffered a knee injury that kept him out for much of the 2013-14 season. Not much has changed since he moved to Sporting CP w88 line .

3. Christian Benteke, 2015-16
Bought for: £32.5m from Monaco
Sold for: £27m to Crystal Palace
Appearances: 42; Goals: 10

A few years back there was something about Liverpool signing big strikers who really didn't work out. Benteke was not the first (see later) but he might be the last after a poor season saw him sold within the year. Though the Reds did manage to recoup most of what they paid.

2. Alberto Aquilani, 2009-12
Bought for: £20m from Roma
Sold for: Free to Fiorentina
Appearances: 26; Goals: 2

Aquilani was meant to be the long-term replacement for Xabi Alonso but lasted only a year before heading to Juventus on loan, then Fiorentina for free. Injuries played their part, and the Italian midfielder later revealed: "Maybe I should have stayed, but I wanted to come back to Italy for family reasons."

1. Andy Carroll, 2011-13
Bought for: £35m from Newcastle
Sold for: £15m to West Ham
Appearances: 58; Goals: 11

Losing hero Fernando Torres to Chelsea and making Carroll the most expensive British footballer at the time goes down as one of the worst deals in Premier League history. OK, Torres didn't fare much better in London, but Carroll was a disaster and struggled badly with injuries and Liverpool's style of play.
