Benali was poking fun at the Reds’ transfer policy, which saw Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren and Rickie Lambert swap St Mary’s for Anfield last summer and Nathaniel Clyne sign on Wednesday.

Last year’s trio failed to make a major impact, although Lallana impressed in small spurts, with Liverpool struggling to get a meaningful return on their £49m outlay.
