Liverpool have been involved in many transfer sagas over the last decade. We had the Steve McManaman to Real Madrid drama in 1999, which left a sour taste in the mouths of those on the Kop. There was widespread despair on the red half on Merseyside in November 2001, when Robbie Fowler made his £11 million switch to Leeds. Micheal Owen’s departure to Real Madrid almost hurt as much as ‘McMoneyman’s’. There was £8 Million and a lawyer to soften that blow, but it felt like daylight robbery. A transfer that didn’t even go through caused much confusion at Anfield, with Steven Gerrard’s move to Chelsea dominating the news in the summer of 2005. However, the transfer that has had the most positive affect on Liverpool during these years was the signing of a Finnish centre-half for £2.6million that had the whole country starching their heads. Sami Who?
