10 Best Premier League January Transfer Window Signings Of The Decade
1. Luis Suarez - Liverpool
In terms of polarising transfers on the same day, few can compare to the arrivals of Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez to Liverpool back in 2011.
With the Reds looking to immediately replace Fernando Torres, Liverpool splashed the cash on both Carroll and Suarez as a double signing. Amazingly, they paid more money for Carroll than Suarez, with both players enjoying completely different levels of performance at Anfield.
In terms of Suarez, put simply, he is one of the greatest strikers the Premier League has ever seen. He can count himself extremely unlucky to not have a Premier League winners medal. Indeed, had he not missed a handful of games where the Reds dropped points in 2012/13, it might have been a different story.
Despite his off-field issues and controversies, in footballing terms, Suarez is unmatched in terms of January transfers in the English game.
Few players have been so exciting and consistently brilliant over such a short period of time.
His performances since for Barcelona have proved what a good player he is and Liverpool fans will probably look back on his time with the Reds with a sense of 'what might have been'.
