not just a great goalscorer but a scorer of great goals, Sturridge will always leave fans wondering what could have been achieved had he enjoyed better luck with injuries.Philippe CoutinhoHaving signed from Inter Milan for £8m in the same January window when Sturridge arrived in 2013, Coutinho was a player in the attacking armoury that almost fired Rodgers' side to league glory in 2014.But just as the 'Fab Four' he became part of alongside Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino was clicking into gear, the Brazilian engineered a move to Catalan giants Barcelona and left for a fee in excess of £100m in January 2018.Rating: 8/10 -

had his moments but never truly convinced, particularly when viewed in the context of his ultimate successor, Alisson Becker.Kolo ToureWas brought in on a free transfer from Manchester City in the summer of 2013 to add experience to the Reds' backline and became a cult hero with the Kop.
