On Wednesday, Virgin O2 Media released the results of the worst signings in Premier League history, with Carroll, who joined Liverpool for 36 million euros in 2011, topping the list, and the top 10 players also include Torres, Sanchez, Van der Beek and other players.
In 2011, after selling Torres to Chelsea, Liverpool signed Carroll from Newcastle for £36m. However, in his three seasons for Liverpool, Carroll scored just 11 goals in 58 appearances.
Coincidentally, Torres was in no shape after switching to Chelsea for a transfer fee of 52 million, and then his career went all the way down, so he ranked third in this selection. Second-placed Coutinho also played for Liverpool, and after switching to Barca for 140 million euros, Coutinho was never able to make it into the main squad and was regarded as the biggest parallel in Barca's history.
The players behind him are Di Maria (Manchester United 2014), Drick Water (Chelsea 2017), Sanchez (2018 Manchester United), Pepe (Arsenal 2019), Balotelli (Liverpool 2014), Van de Beek (Manchester United 2020) and Irving (Newcastle 2005).
