10 Transfers Where Liverpool Dodged A Bullet

Nightmares avoided (for a change).

As a self-confessed Buying Club, Liverpool have always kept themselves occupied with regards to the pursuit of new additions to the squad. Under the likes of Rafa Benitez and Kenny Dalglish, they continuously delved into the transfer market as they sought to bolster their squad. Too often Liverpool supporters have been left smarting as a result of a failed transfer, ruing the 'ones that got away', such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Eric Cantona, who have gone on to achieve success elsewhere. However, amongst all the business in the transfer market, there have been a plethora of players that Reds fanatics will be relieved that they never signed. Having been inches from sealing the deal, these transfers collapsed at the last minute, often leaving both player and club very frustrated. In truth, it was a blessing in disguise, as these players have gone on to disappoint, with their once-promising potential amounting to nothing more than a mediocre career. Whether these subjects of the scuppered deals have gone on to be dogged by injury woes, bounce between mid-table clubs or simply fail to live up to their potential, Liverpool supporters will certainly breathe a sigh of relief that these transfers never materialised. Take a look at the ten transfers where Liverpool dodged a bullet.
