We have signed some rubbish players that appalled me, Pennant, Crouch, Nunez etc but I have never been so sure that a player would fail at Anfield more than I was when we signed Konchesky, he is a very, very poor player.

Crouch wasn't fucking rubbish, there's a shit load of players you could name before him.
Degen
Vornonin
Nunez
Josemi
Konchesky
Poulsen
Jovanovic
Gonzalez
Practically every sub keeper we've had since Brad Friedel
Pennant
Morientes
Diao
Diouf
Cheyrou
Meijer
Diomede
Xavier
Pelegrino
Dossena
Stupid example.

Mark, at least 11 of those players you listed, 99% of LFC would only have had scant opportunities to see them play before they joined us and therefore could not be 100% sure they would be shit for us (Cheyrou, Dossena, Meijer, Diomede etc). I'm talking about players we saw regularly enough that we KNEW 100% that they would be shit.
I agree Crouch wasn't totally shit but he wasn't what we needed and he wouldn't have been signed by Chelsea, United, Arsenal etc and he was never going to be a success at Anfield.
