The 2014 summer transfer window was a rather horrific one for Liverpool.
The Reds spent a huge £136.29m on players, including the likes of Lazar Markovic, Alberto Moreno and Rickie Lambert. Even the likes of Dejan Lovren and Adam Lallana, two players who are still with the club, are regularly lambasted by portions of the club’s fanbase for their performances.
The big fat Liverpool quiz of 2019 – how much do you remember about the last year at Anfield?
Brendan Rodgers was the manager at the time, and that window came just after the Anfield outfit had finished second in the table to Manchester City. Balotelli was perhaps the worst signing of them all. The Italy international managed just four goals in 28 matches following his arrival. But it seems he was not the first-choice signing.
Whilst tweeting about Wilfried Bony’s interview with The Athletic, journalist James Pearce said that Rodgers wanted to sign the 31-year-old instead at the time.
The club’s supporters have been reacting to the comments in numbers on Twitter, and many are counting their lucky stars that the deal didn’t go through.
Bony’s move to the Etihad Stadium certainly didn’t work out. He signed for £25m, but scored just 11 goals in 46 games before moving to Stoke City instead.
Other fans, though, would rather have had him sign than the former Internazional centre-forward.
It certainly looked like a good deal for City at the time. The Ivory Coast international had scored 26 goals in 54 Premier League games during his time with Swansea, which is a good record for a side that finished 12th and 8th in the two seasons he spent their during his first spell#.

Others, meanwhile, just want to forget that whole transfer window ever took place.
Looking back at the players who were brought in, you can’t really blame them.
