Liverpool deadline day signing told 'harsh truth' about transfer after his mum called fans 'scum' in 4am Facebook tirade
When discussing Liverpool’s worst ever transfers of the Premier League era, you wouldn’t expect a £4m England international full-back to register so highly.
After all, there’s just so many to choose from big-time villains like the maverick Mario Balotelli and the dastardly El-Hadji Diouf to overpriced misfires such as £35m former record signing Andy Carroll and the £20m apiece quartet of Robbie Keane, Alberto Aquilani, Stewart Downing and Lazar Markovic.
