C Palmer for sure

David Luiz to Arsenal. Thought his tank was empty and hated the signing at the time. He had his share of mistakes but overall was solid and became one of my favorite players in the squad during his time at Arsenal

Thiago Silva

Ramsdale!

Jarred Bowen. I thought he’d be decent just not as good as he’s turned out to be.

Jordan Henderson

A lot of ppl (me too) were suprised by the signing of Robertson.

He got relegated with Hull, and had a slow start in the Liverpool team.

I thought he will be just a wasted 15 mill

Matic when he signed for United. Nothing incredible but I was sure he would flop but he was solid for us.

Kai Havertz - entire fan base was sure he’ll be a flop at Arsenal after we bought him for £65m despite that he flopped at Chelsea, but, oh wait, he actually is a flop just like everyone expected, so yeah, there’s that

KDB. Thought he’d go to Bayern and make his career in the Bundesliga. Then thought he wouldn’t cut it in the prem – it seemed that every Bundesliga player that crossed the channel during that period of time flopped in the prem, at least, those big transfers. Especially, when Chelsea bought every promising youth only to go out the back door.

Pedro. When he left Barca I thought it was over and then he did Pedro things, coming clutch in big moments with his goals and assists.

Cristiano Ronaldo as a teenager frustrated me a lot

Peter Crouch stands out for me.

If you told me 2 seasons ago, Taiwo Awoniyi would outscore Nunez is a Prem season, after Nunez did so well in the CL & Taiwo never got a game for Liverpool in all the years he was on their books, I wouldn’t believe you.

Didn’t like Jordan Henderson’s chances, hadn’t really bought into the hype at Sunderland and we were in a terrible state at the time, felt like he’d be gone within a season or so, basically like Charlie Adam was and Stewart Downing should have been, both of whom I predicted the same level of failure for. Tbf he nearly was gone early on, Brodge tried to sell him to Fulham to get Clint Dempsey, but I’d have never called him being a PL & CL winning captain for us.

Also thought Wijnaldum had potential flop written all over him after going a whole season without an away goal for Newcastle and four of his goals for them coming in one game rather boosting his total. Had no idea he’d turn into the type of midfielder he played as for us as opposed to the attacking midfielder he was for them.

Milner too, was never really a fan even when he was playing well for City, can’t really put my finger on why, and was pretty sure he’d be another one who’d come in from a club who were doing better than us and leave having accomplished very little as we didn’t really feel like we were going anywhere. How wrong I was there.

So basically the midfield that won us the CL & PL, minus Fabinho.

Virgil van dijk.
