Roy Hodgson dropped Liverpool transfer clanger by 'selling the wrong player' to rivals

Roy Hodgson's stock is particularly high at the moment given the way he has turned things around at Crystal Palace after stepping in to replace the sacked Patrick Vieira.

However, things weren't always looking so bright for Hodgson. Back during his time at the helm of Premier League giants Liverpool, the experienced manager is alleged to have sold the wrong player by mistake according to Alex Kacaniklic, who claims Hodgson sent him to Fulham in a bid to sign Paul Konchesky.

Hodgson landed Konchesky's signature early on in his Reds reign and was a keen admirer of the full-back from their shared time at Craven Cottage and reached the Europa League final with him in 2010. As part of the deal to bring the defender to Anfield, Hodgson agreed to part ways with two young talents in Lauri Dalla Valle and Kacaniklic.
