Maybe not the best EVER, but Hyypia has got to be up there. No one had heard of him and he only cost about 2.5 mil. If Liverpool had decided to sell him at his absolute peak about one and a half to two years ago he would have been worth 15 mil easily. Glad we kept him though!!

This new era. Cisse, no doubt in my mind that he's the missing link up front. Alonso looks like a superstar in the making & Carra in the middle putting Hyypia in the shade. Dont forget Berger from the Evans era Fowler From Sous era Barnes from Kennys Era.

Kevin Keegan was a good signing. I liked Heighway too.
King Kenny was a beauty signing but the pick of them for me has to be Ian Rush!

litmanen - best signing and most stupid sale.

Very hard to pick any individual from the late seventies to mid eighties, you got Barnes, Beardsley, Mcmahon, Rush, Souness, Aldridge, Hansen, Lawrenson.......the names just go on. Fairly obviuos I'm gonna say Kenny, but as a Liverpool and Scotland fan I guess I could be accused of bias!!

As for recent times....maybe Redknapp, my favourite player since Kenny hung up his boots, but I think baros could become a very influential player in the near future. By the way, Traore.... a much improved player under Benitez, but I don't ever see him being the best we ever had!!!!!

Even though Daglish cost a huge amount of money at the time, he proved to be a legendary signing.

Ian Rush, Alan Hansen and Steve Nicol cost hardly anything and went on to be legends.

As for Traore, even if he cost "only" 500,000, there at least 50 players who came for similar amounts (adjusted for inflation) over the years who had 50 times the impact Traore has had on Liverpool. What drugs are you on Mick?!?

A little too young to remember daglish, so my choice will be rush. I still remember the record he had for so many years. If rush scores liverpool does not lose.

For me, Rush is the most complete striker we ever had.

To be fair JBG, I did say 'in modern times' and use the word 'value' very clearly. That said, it was a bit out there come to think of it. I think he could become a good player though. Then again what do I know? It wouldn't be the first time I've posted up some nonsense, remember Earnshaw?

by **andy_g** » Sun Nov 21, 2004 4:59 pm

its another thread isn't it?

who, in the present squad, has the potential to become the best signing ever?

this way, bigmick, yer mate traore's in with a shout.

possibly!!

in terms of influence i would say litmanen and mcallister, both had bundles of experience and just being there was an added quality, i felt sorry for jari as he didnt get the opportunity to flourish and mcallister i firmly believe turned our potential treble season into in fact reality.

So it seems to me to be ANY Liverpool signing.

GK;Tommy Lawrence, Ray Clemence, Bruce Grobbelaar.
DF;Alec Lindsay(superb crosser of the ball),Tommy Smith, Emlyn Hughes, Alan Kennedy,Phil Thompson, Mark Lawerenson, Alan Hansen, Sami Hyypia.
MF; Ian Callaghan, Ray Kennedy,Terry McDermott, Graeme Souness, Jimmy Case, Steven Gerrard.
STRS; Ian St John, Hunt, Keegan, Dalgleish(sp?), Rush, Owen.

Overall I would pick;
Goalkeeper: Clemence.
Defender: can't pick between Hansen and Lindsay.
Midfielder: Souness, Gerrard. (The spanish trio need to settle in, a part of one season is not enough for me to judge)
Strikers: Hunt, Dalgleish.

Best ever signing? I agree with whoever said it before.
Shankley....He started it all!!

The best ever siging was shanks...

What about Emlyn Hughes?? Have we ever had a better captain?
John Barnes would be very high on my list.
