Markovic going on loan for the season to Fenerbahçe.

27 Aug 2015 23:08:05
Gutted, he should be getting game time as an impact sub. He has the technical ability and will only get better with consistent mins in my opinion. He is a bit light weight but needs a few seasons to fully develop physically and mentally. But i'm no expert.

27 Aug 2015 23:12:12
This seems a bit silly for me. I know our squad is huge but when europa/cup games kick in, we're going to need every player we have.

27 Aug 2015 23:49:07
Best of luck to him, pity he couldn't stay in the Prem

28 Aug 2015 01:06:35
I would have preferred to see him go on loan to an English club, its experience here that is needed not in Turkey

28 Aug 2015 02:00:06
Another debacle by Rodgers has not had any chance of a run in the team what a waste goes from Europa cup player of the year to Rodgers plaything, another career ruined by a stubborn manager who thinks he bought a def right mid.

28 Aug 2015 05:07:17
Markovic needs regular games, he will not get it here. I watched him break through as a 17 year old at Partisan and he was rated as THE top 17 year old in Europe at the time, I just don't think he is suited to the prem. We are disappointed Fenerbahce never qualified for the CL.

28 Aug 2015 09:35:05
Bad business. Ibe is out of touch and Markovic could be given some game time but no, instead he is shipped off on loan. A player who cost us 20million. Will we ever learn?

28 Aug 2015 09:45:52
Markovic came to the premiership a year too early and this stunted his development. As we know from Ed002 he was under consideration from a number of other clubs but all except us felt he was not yet ready. This has proved to be correct. so let's hope that the loan to Fenerbahce gets him back on track to be the player we can all see he potentially is.

28 Aug 2015 09:56:47
Will he make the team there?

I'm no expert on Fenerbache but everyone knows they signed Nani (who is their own player and on big wages) and I know they have Raul Meireles and Diego who would both be far more central players but still very attacking.

I think going for a move like this would be confirming it is his transfer fee being worked on. If he was in the long term plans then a loan to a PL club where he would play is what would be of most benefit to him.

28 Aug 2015 10:17:09
I get the impression that Br doesn't think he's physically up to the demands of the premier league at the moment. I would get in yarmelenko but not at the cost of stunting tex,Ibe and rossiter

28 Aug 2015 10:32:07
Well Acered, signing yarmulenko is exactly what that would do.

28 Aug 2015 12:13:01
Never given a real chance in the team and when he was given a start it was out of position.

A couple of years on loan then shipped out with us paying most of his wages.

Another brilliant piece of business

28 Aug 2015 12:26:45
Absolute shambolic decision. He should be loaned out to an EPL club to cause our competitors maximum damage. Its a tactic used by the other top clubs but we seem to be very slow learners!

28 Aug 2015 13:02:03
I would prefer to see him stay and used as a rotation / impact player, given his chance in cups and from the bench. I do wonder where the width will come from in our team this year. Failing that I agree a loan move elsewhere in the prem would be preferable. Fenerbache are a very decent team however.
The comments about his career being 'ruined' lack objectivity and really aren't too bright. The press releases around his loan make it clear that this is to ensure playing time and his continued development, it being the expectation he'll return to us next season.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool cannot afford to do that with players - and the players won't be happy. Liverpool has done enough damage to him already.}

28 Aug 2015 15:34:50
Ed002, do you think the plan is to increase his resale value or to actually develop him for us? I appreciate you might not know but i'd still be interested to hear what you think!

{Ed002's Note - Right now just to get him off the books.}

28 Aug 2015 17:47:28
IMO wrong decision to buy in first place not strong enough and can't see that changing. I am a very big fan of BR and am hoping this season goes well as much to shut up all those that mouthed off without giving him a chance as to see our great club prosper again, but this is a signing I belive he did make a mistake on and am glad to see the back. Would be better as a sale imo tho!

28 Aug 2015 18:20:25
This is frankly hysterical. He is bang average, in every game he looked like a little boy lost.

I know it is en vogue to criticize every facet of Rodgers management but Christ on a Bike championing Markovic.

Newsflash: Markovic loan cancelled, plays next game, is rubbish, as always. Brendan gets slated for playing not very good player.

You guys truly are flogging a dead horse on that one. Markovic is simply a very ugly lady.

28 Aug 2015 22:36:47
Very very very well said Almighty. My sentiments entirely. Yes BR has made some mistakes but even the very best make mistakes. This player is not even average imo and BR has clearly realised that and is finding a way to deal with a mistake made and credit to him for that. I support the decision I continue to support and believe in a very decent coach who is learning to be a decent manager and Whilst I say good luck to Mr Markovic I say it with a happy face though that he is departing after all his mistakes were even more plentiful on the field of play but seem to have gone somewhat unnoticed by a good few!

29 Aug 2015 12:01:56
The way I look at it the lad chose us ,we are to blame for not giving him a chance ,a £20 million pound investment shouldn't be going out on loan simples why buy him ??

29 Aug 2015 13:24:45
He's had chances and under performed pretty much in each. How folk can say give him a chance and then many of them not prepared to offer the manager a chance niggles me big time!

29 Aug 2015 22:41:20
That goes both way, Bantered.

27 Aug 2015 18:24:54
I've seen rumours floating around regarding Borini, Is he any interest to Tottenham?

27 Aug 2015 13:56:03
dad lives in france and watches rc lens and reckons that Liverpool have been watching Taylor Moore a young English cb

Hi edds

Can you see anymore players coming in before the window shuts?

Good to see balo gone!

{Ed001's Note - no, it doesn't look likely.}
