As they won the Champions League and FA Cup together (with Cisse scoring in the final of the latter), the move proved to be a successful one.
Milan Jovanovic, who turns 43 today, was not so fortunate, and the whole structure of the club changed during his early time in England.
As the Hicks and Gillett ownership continued to spiral out of control in early 2010, it was announced that Jovanovic would be joining Liverpool on a free transfer ahead of the 2010/11 campaign.
The Standard Liege forward, who had played at Anfield for them in a Champions League qualifier in 2008, was a man in demand.
While not the manager who had brought him to the club, Liverpool’s new gaffer did at least give Jovanovic a chance to make his mark.
The new number 14 started seven of the first eight matches in all competitions but struggled to make much of an impact.
The whole team was playing poorly, in fairness to him, yet worse was soon to come.
When Jovanovic got his first goal for the club, in the ninth minute of a League Cup tie with Northampton Town, he barely celebrated.
The final instance occurred at Blackpool, in what was the first league fixture of caretaker manager Kenny Dalglish’s second stint in charge of Liverpool.
In 10 Premier League appearances for the club, Jovanovic took just three shots and lined up seven chances for his teammates, at times looking incapable of even controlling the ball.
