Markovic

I think he has more talent than people give him credit. He obviously was a confidence player yet never really was backed or got a decent run regularly being subbed etc GL to him dont think we'll see him again even if he does well. Probably doesn't have the 'character' to make it with us.

Better than a few who play more regular for us imo

I think Brendan has totally mismanaged this lads development. Both in the loan and in where he played him last season. A huge waste of money too.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's wasn't mismanagement to play him at wing back. He is one player, it's the team that matters and that was the system which picked us up points when all else had failed. Not only that but he actually had quite a few good games from wing back.

Personally I thought this season was gonna be his breakthrough season but for some reason Ibe was preferred. Possibly Ibe shows a much better attitude in training.

I would agree with that if Marko was now being given a chance to step up but as it is he's never been given a chance to stake his claim in his favoured position week in week out. So the fact he's filled in at wingback has been detrimental to his Liverpool career not a benefit.

Players should be played in their best positions but Brendan was at stages last season doing it by numbers.

Thankfully we seem to be far more settled this season.

If you find a winning system during a season when things aren't going well then it becomes about keeping it and fitting the players in it, regardless of their natural position.

TOOR is right marko was a victim of a poor league campaign which mostly stemmed from an inability to bring in backup for sturridge.

Basically it all came down to Sturridge being injured and Balotelli proving to be a poor signing.

He should show it on the pitch and training pitch then, that's what gets players in the team.

You don't get picked to play football because you have talent.

Millions of players have talent.

Reports that we are getting a loan fee as well as 100% of his wages, Liverpool have made assurances he will return next season to be in our long term plans.

We are still negotiating the terms of the deal, i imagine it will be some clause to pull him back in january if hes not getting the right number of appearances, or is being played in unfavourable positions.

I expect Markovic to have an average season in Turkey where his fans say he is playing amazingly every game (they will watch every game).

He will score about 5 and assist about 5, then we will sell him next summer.

Could be wrong but just my hunch. I don't think he has the cojones to be a Liverpool player.
==================


Ok, will see

Hope he gets some good playing time, which will be in a team that will win a lot therefore boosting his confidence. Could come back a much more rounded player.

Hopefully means we will hang onto Teixeira for the cup games and back up.

It's a good loan IMO

There are a lot of technically good and experienced players there to learn from.

RvP, Nani, Diego, Kjaer, Moussa Sow, Meireles

and he'll at least be able to get some Europa experience

Markovic's confidence is absolutely shaagged at this point. Getting him a loan move where he will play regularly in a less competitive league is a good move, will do him the world of good imo.
