Ohhh, the possiblities are endless once you start to go back in time. But sticking to the recent past I would have two choices. The first is obvious: Ronaldo. The second is slightly more disagreeable: Carlos Tevez.
Recently I'd say I wish we could buy back Berbs , looking back: carrick, sherringham (the first time),(what do all of these have in common ) Kanoute, Mounir el Hamdaoui. Keane (the first time)

I'd rather play every match with 10 men than see that disagreeable hatchet faced back stabbing utter twunt Carlos tevez back in a man utd shirt.

Ha ha. I thought of you when I posted and I could have almost written your reply for you. It'll never happen of course and I agree with you as regards his personality - but on pure footballing terms he'd still be a major asset.
How about I wind you up some more. Let's buy back RVN and Paul Ince
Michael Turner. The way he left still makes me angry, even if our current defence is pretty slick (goal conceded against Burnley aside...). Great, great defender.
Sami - total legend who was not treated with as much respect as he deserved in his final season (Degen in the CL squad over him?). A lot of us LFC fans say that one day he will be back at Anfield and please God make it happen but he seems settled at Bayer now and they seem keen to keep him so I would not hold my breath. Tragic - Rafas worst man mangement mistake imo
Alonso? - thats an interesting one as imo there is a lot of half truths and rumours said about it. He had a bad season (In 2008 was it?) and Rafa did look at Barry that summer - I am prob in the minority here but I would not crticise him for that. Once we did not get him then the next season Xabi was great and no way did we want to sell him. But then the next close season Real Madrid came in - and for a Spaniard they all would want to play for them so he went,. By that time I do not think there was a prob between him and Rafa and since then he has been back at Anfield several times and is definitely still a passionate 'Red'. Some say that what upset him more was the way Rafa criticised him for not playing V Inter when he dropped out due to his wife having a baby - which is believable for me.
But yes Xabi is a legend too - and I would also want him back.
Alonso's a definite for Liverpool, but also with our left back problems over the past few years, we would have done well to hang on to Riise for longer.

I'd get Ibra back from Milan especially as we only have Bojan in reserve who is totally ineffective . One bad injury to one our front three and our season capitulates .

By the end I hated Riise and no way would I want him back - dodgy defending - bad tackles, playing people onside ...etc, shooting from 40 yards (usually miles over the bar), wasting free kicks by firing straight into the wall, trying 50 yard passes which were telegraphed and anyway never went near their intended target ...etc.
I agree LB is a problem position but Riise back? - No!! (I quite like the idea of Clichy but it does go a bit against the philosophy in the club of buying young players but at least if we got him we know we'd get quality)
Ipswich Town:
Darren Bent and Shefki Kuqi were the most fun we have had in recent years. Tommy Miller as well and most recently Jon Walters. Alan Lee just for our songs for him.
Problem is for every one player i wish to have back, there is 5 i wouldn't. Anyone remember Findi George? Thought not.
Manchester United:
C.Ronaldo and Beckham for sentimental reasons.
Pique for the quality he has become although it is difficult to judge how good he actually is because majority of Barcelona's defensive strategy is simply keeping the ball and winning it back high up the pitch. He's more handy as a striker to them.

Damn you Paul Duffen.
You can have him back now, just make a reasonable bid and he's yours.

a Ba / Defoe partnership could be very interesting I think my choice would be to re-sign Joe Cole.
