Hi Ed's and everyone, So reading all the post's ref transfer's recently, I would love to know the Ed's and others View on our Best Transfer we have made a) in the last 10 years b) Ever

I think a) Suarez b) Dalglish.

{Ed002's Note - I would not be surprised to see Van Dijk turn out to eventually be the pick of recent years else the pre-runt Suarez. Going right back I would think Dalglish.}

Agreed on Dalglish but Suarez? after all he put the club through he'd be one of my last picks. I think in the last 10 years, it's hard to say but I'm thinking Firmino right now.

a) Xabi Alonso although selling him was also amongst the worst transfer decisions we've ever made

b) got to be King Kenny.

Zspecialone I think Alonso signed in 2004 mate. He'd of definitely been one of my pics if it'd of been in the last 10 years.

a) Salah. I don't see how you can argue with this with last season and all of the records he broke.

b) I agree with Dalglish.

Salah could be our best recent signing if he hangs around long enough and continues his great form and King Kenny is a shoe in from way back. Top player!

Barnes was a great buy as was Torres (until he let us down)

a) definitely Salah in the last 10 years, great first season and will make a hefty profit if/ when he leaves

b) I'd actually go slightly against the grain and say, from a pure player point of view, I'd pick Rushie. He spent a total of 16 years at the club, with a brief Italian holiday! We bought him for £300k, and then made £500k profit on the Italian adventure, so he actually cost us less than nothing!

If we're looking at overall impact on the club, then it has to be Dalglish, with Rushie second.

Hard to argue with the king for signing of all time.

Last ten years is hard though, if this season wasn’t a fluke for salah and he ends up having a few seasons like that then it has to go to him, can’t give it to him after a season though, that also rules out VVD for now.

Can’t give it to Suarez as he brought as much shame into the club as he did magic.

Firmino is a fantastic player, probably my favourite at the club currently, he was pricey though so you can argue his amazingness was to be expected.

Going to be contraversial and say Coutinho. Bought quite cheaply and he was struggling to make use of his undoubted talent, we bought him and turned him into a great, if not world class player and got mega money for him, him leaving and the manner in which he went was a bit of a disappointment but you can’t argue with the fact of we bought him cheaply, developed him into a fantastic player, got arguably his best years out of him before selling him on for mega money.

Not really an answer to the question: but I think signing Bellamy on a free, at a time when we weren’t great was a fantastic signing.

A) markovich
B) torben pieknik.

Clearly Dalglish but b is harder. Suarez I guess has been our best player. Vvd will become a great transfer but I'll go with coutinio, was good from the start, got better and he only cost 8mil, seeing us get a 132million pound profit.

We sold Keegan and signed Kenny.
Masterstroke.

Oh dear, I thought 2004 was still within the past ten years, I'm getting old! Thanks for pointing that out Salah. In that case, I'll have to go for Firmino.

Kenny, Barnes, Salah.

Torres. Every time he played Utd I loved him more. He was just explosive.

Just as some alternatives to Kenny (who I agree on)

Ron Yeats
Keegan
Hughes
Rush
Hunt

Last 10 years? Hard to look beyond Salah.

Torres signed in 2007 I think? or was it 2008?.

Lol zpecialone, time goes too quick doesn't it mate :) .

Last 10 years - Suarez.
Ever - maybe St John (2nd Div to League 1 Champions) or Keegan (4th Division player straight into First XI, transformed a decent side to League and European Champions) . Dalgliish cost a British transfer fee record remember, Keegan was a £35,000 gamble as a midfielder) .

Probably Kenny.

Gotta be firminio. His numbers this season (goals, assists, tackles) we're incredible. Not to mention his work rate. If he's not in the team, Salah doesn't break the record. Don't get me wrong, Salah is great. But he could also be replaced. Firminio is something special and we'd be happy pressed to find another player that can contribute as much as he does. Suarez had the best of both firminio and Salah. But he left and so for me, it has to be firminio. Plus firminio has a much better attitude and team mentality.

Last 10 years I am going to give a mention to Hendo. £16m is pretty cheap for a player who has gone on to captain us to a Champions League final.

Ever? Just to be different, Hansen. Best centre back ever to play the game.

In the last 20 years it’s got to be Bobby. Think of anyone else that comes close but think the ox has definitely swayed my thinking if he carries on as he has the way he has interacted with the fans got to say I’m well impressed.

Klopp and Shankly 😉.

Kenny best ever. 2nd best ever would be Souness. In the PL era, prob Alonso and then Firmino (both make the team better whereas Suarez was prob better individually) .
