Liverpool are set to make their first loan signing since 2022 this weekend, with Ronald Araujo arriving on a temporary basis from Barcelona.Reds fans have reacted fairly negatively to news that centre-back will join until the end of the season, with Liverpool’s dismal recent record in the loan market no doubt playing a part in the feeling of disappointment.Given their status as one of biggest clubs in world football, Liverpool are not usually in the business of taking players without signing them permanently, and only usually do so as an emergency measure.

Cissokho appearances: 19, Goals 02014 – Javier Manquillo (on loan from Atletico Madrid)Rodgers was at it again in 2014, making perhaps the strangest loan signing of his time in 2014, when right-back Javier Manquillo arrived on a two-year loan from Atletico Madrid.There was an option to make the move permanent after one year, but Manquillo never looked like giving Liverpool a decision to make in that respect.The then 20-year-old began the season in the XI, but was not helped by the Reds having a massive downturn in form, and he ultimately played only three times during the second half of the season.Unsurprisingly, Liverpool did not take up the option to sign him permanently, and though he did go on to have a decent Premier League career at Newcastle, it was definitely the right decision.Appearances: 19, Goals: 0 Photo by Nick Taylor/Liverpool FC via Getty Images2016 – Steven Caulker (on loan from QPR)If Manquillo was the strangest loan move of Rodgers’ tenure, then Steven Caulker takes the cake as the weirdest of all-time at Liverpool.The centre-back arrived as an auxiliary forward for Jurgen Klopp during his first window in charge, in January 2016.Caulker was actually on loan from QPR at Southampton at the time, and had only made eight appearances for the Saints. Nevertheless, for whatever reason, Klopp decided to bring him onboard.Unsurprisingly, Caulker made no impact at all, either when being thrown on up front or playing in his natural position at the back, and he returned to QPR to become a bit-part player in the Championship the following season.Appearances: 3, Goals: 02021 – Ozan Kabak (on loan from Schalke)Klopp went another five years before making a loan signing for Liverpool, with his hand being forced during the January window in 2021.

Though his stint was not all bad, and it coincided with poor performances from those around him, the Turk did not do enough to make his stay official.Injury played a part, with Kabak unavailable throughout the final weeks of the season, but the centre-back has not exactly made Liverpool regret their decision in the years since.Appearances: 13, Goals: 0 Conor Bradley will miss MONTHS of the season… Who should Liverpool sign to replace him?
