Liverpool: 10 Over-Priced Flops Who Failed At Anfield

By WhatCulture /

1. Robbie Keane

The self-proclaimed "lifelong Liverpool fan" lasted just six months on Merseyside, before returning to his previous home at Tottenham Hotspur. Bought for £19 million in July and sold for just £12 million in January after scoring just seven goals in a red shirt. To call his tenure at Anfield a disaster is a gross understatement as he just never settled into the team and couldn't form the chemistry with Fernando Torres that he previously held with Dimitar Berbatov. If it wasn't for his transfer fee, Keane would just be an afterthought to most Liverpool fans - that was the degree of his impact. Save for a brace against West Brom, he was entirely insignificant during his short stay and the fearsome strike partnership Liverpool desperately needed was nowhere to be seen.
