Just for fun. Which past or present LFC players in their pomp (1 goalkeeper, 1 defender, 1 midfielder and 1 attacker) from the Premier League era would cost over £150million in today's market?
18 Jun 2026 15:49:23
Ali, Virg, Stevie G, Suarez.
18 Jun 2026 15:55:37
GK-Clemence
Def- Hansen
Mid-Souness
St- King Kenny.

John Barnes, surely? Though I don't know if he counts, his best years were pre-PL, but he did play in the PL for Liverpool. McManaman and Fowler too, I guess, and probably Xabi, even if he didn't hit his peak with us. Unfortunately, you'd have to put Owen in there too.

Ali
Hyypia
Gerrard
Torres.

Sorry, didn't read post properly. Go with JK23 selection, but Salah for Chewy.

Peggy Arphexad
Bjorn Tore Kvame
Salif Diao
Sean Dundee.

Ali
Virg
Stevie
Suarez.

We seem to be correlating around similar picks:
1) Ali
2) Virg
3) Stevie
4) Salah.

Loris Karius
Paul Konchesky
Christian Poulsen
Charlie Adam.

During the EPL era and players from the start to today?
I would say Alisson, VVD, Gerrard, and Salah. I would add that Suarez and maybe even Mane would squeeze in there. The rationale being that 2 Spanish teams and 1 English team (Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Chelsea) were, and still are, capable of paying idiotic prices for players they really want.
18 Jun 2026 17:09:46
Ian Rush
Peter Beardsley
Alan Hansen
John Barnes
Rushy was the original pressing machine and scored for fun.
18 Jun 2026 17:11:28
Liver_La, It was £150 million, not thousand!
Seriously though, how embarrassing that these were all first team players for the club (three of them at the same time!).
18 Jun 2026 17:18:15
Not sure a keeper would, but I'd go:
Clemence
Hansen
Gerard
Torres.
18 Jun 2026 17:20:28
stouffer,
I was thinking more £150. ?
18 Jun 2026 17:22:40
John Barnes
Graeme Souness
Steven Gerrard
Ian Rush.
18 Jun 2026 17:55:33
Clemence
Hansen
Gerrard
Fowler.
18 Jun 2026 18:02:36
Clemence definitely
Stevie
Souness
Hansen
Barnes.
18 Jun 2026 18:20:26
Didn't he ask for players from the "Premier League era"?
18 Jun 2026 21:31:31
@ArAy, Yep, the OP did say from the PL era.
18 Jun 2026 22:40:48
I'll only pick players that never won the league with us. Reina, Hyppia, Gerrard, Torres. Not sure Reina would've been worth £150m though, nor Hyppia. Gerrard and Torres in their prime were the best in their positions in the world.
