2014 was one of the busiest transfer Summer window for Liverpool. They brought in 9 new faces into the squad and spent almost £120 million. Among the new faces that have signed for Liverpool, Adam Lallana, one of the most impressive players of Southampton who signed for Liverpool for a fee of £25 million is yet to debut.
Among the other signings, Alberto Moreno currently looks to be Liverpool’s best signing of 2014 so far. He has been really great in his first two games for his new side and goal against Tottenham last week was absolutely incredible.
Talking about the other signings, Dejan Lovren from Southampton was a good signing. He is doing good in the field, however, he looks nervous in a number of occasions. Lazar Markovic, the Serbian who came from Benfica also looks to be a good signing.
The signing of Mario Balotelli gave a topic to criticize for the critics. However, he was good in his first game for Liverpool.
Liverpool brought only one player on loan who is Javier Manquillo from Atletico Madrid. The Spaniard joined Liverpool on a two season loan. This young lad also looks quite promising so far.
Liverpool sold Luis Suarez for a record fee of £75 million. Suarez is currently among one of the best footballers of the world and it would not be easy for Liverpool to replace him. Among the other players that left, Daniel Agger is a name that made fans quite disappointed. Pepe Reina also left after spending nine years with the club.
Liverpool released a total of ten players. Oussama Assaidi left for Stoke City for a consecutive second season. Divock Origi, who was bought for a fee of £10 million from Lille was immediately loaned back to Lille.
Overall, players Liverpool bought are good. But the problem is, the reds do not have enough central defenders in their squad. Loaning Sebastian Coates to Sunderland was an interesting move. It would be interesting to see how Brendon Rodgers do with this squad.
