Reds set to Fire the Lazar?

He's shown glimpses in some matches he has something about him and a run of games in his right position would help him. 

There's certainly more than enough other dross in our squad we need to move on first before him.

Who knows what he'd be like if played in his proper position, in a fucntioning system, with everyone knowing their role.

Alas we will probably have to wait til he moves to find out.

It's a tough one because as you say, we are well stocked for attacking midfielders and wingers already, and have also signed a player in Milner who could be used in those roles too. We've not really used Markovic in the role to which he is best suited (the same one as Lallana incidentally) and it seems to me that we unnecessarily went for both those players last summer when we really should have gone for just one of the two and pushed the boat out for a better striker instead of Balotelli. We've not managed to get the best out of either of them whilst also nullifying the effectiveness of the others we have.

If you are going to sign a player, sign him only if you are mainly going to use him in the role which suits him best, otherwise don't sign him at all. Apart from us regularly signing players seemingly based on them having had a good game against us the year before, we also sign too many players and end up using them as square pegs in round holes. The player never recovers, is deemed a flop, and either gets sold on the cheap or placed on endless loans elsewhere with us picking up most (if not all) of his wages.

That has got to stop.

He's shown glimpses that he's not very good.

Another one in the fail column for transfer guru Brigant Molloch.

Haha 'a loan' yeah that's no doubt how it will end up.  Another £20m playing for another team.

I wonder if anybody at all on our transfer committee is even capable of taking a step back and looking at just what a fucking farce they are.  How much cash did we have tied up in players on loan last season, we could have probably signed most of what we needed for the squad including a world class striker if we just spent the money on players to actually play for us.

Useless fucking cunts.

Nothing would sum up our transfer policy more than us giving up on a £20 million, 21 year old after one season in which he didn't even play in his proper position.

I'm not sure what to make of him.

But if the speculation has foundation, it really underlines the mess we're in when we're contemplating off-loading 20m players after a season.

We could easily be talking about Lovren here too, couldn't we?

Exactly the sort of signing we should be making. Good young talent that Brendan can mould. So of course well let him go and watch him flourish somewhere else. Smh.

In Brendan we trust

He is a kid who has played one season out of position in a new country.

give him another season at least.

 

 

 especially as he appears to be behind the likes of Ibe, Adam Lallana, Philippe Coutinho and - for the moment at least - Raheem Sterling.

For what position? In what formation?

Ibe is a winger. Lallana is a number 10, as is Coutinho. Sterling is an inside forward or number 10, same for Markovic. In most formations we'll need three of these five players playing, and Sterling, as you allude to, looks to be off. Basically, there will be plenty of chances for Markovic.

I just said something similar on the MF, we can't keep spending big money on these young players, playing them out of position in their first season in a new league, and then binning them off. We're setting fire to money and, obviously, remaining a shit team.

Concentrate on getting rid of the older players that aren't good enough, as they definitely never will be. Spend our money now on established top quality players.

Rubbish the lad's not up to  the PL . Get rid

A million times this.

All this talk about young players wanting to work with Rodgers, so he hasn't even got that anymore.

I'd rather that he was allowed to go back to Portugal if it was just a case of homesickness, that's understandable.

£10m back to Benfica, with a 50% sell-on clause.

He's shown glimpses that he's not very good.

Wheres that? As a wing back?

He might be shit, but we dont know, because the manger has fucked him up.

See Emre Can.

 It is going to be interesting watching him play in his favoured position when Klopp comes in. I reckon he is going to be fucking brilliant. His confidence looks shot to bits. But then again, so would anyone's be if they were asked to do a job they don't do.

For what position? In what formation?

For any position. Rodgers would pick all of those mentioned over Markovic out wide or centrally. He did do for most of last season. I'm not saying he's right, but that's what the evidence shows.

Completely agree with the rest of your post though. I'll be disgusted if we bin him off this summer.

I really do think evaluating a player's ability AFTER you buy them isn't a good strategy. 

I'm not sure what to make of him.

That's an entirely different, tarantula infested, case of bananas.

Binning a 20m outlay after, what, 10 games?

That would be outrageous, even for us.

Fof fuck sake the man is 12 years old.

Fof fuck sake the man is 12 years old.

In that case, he looks like he's had a hard life.

Fucking hell, we are total fucking retards at this fucking transfer thing, are we fucking not?

I'm assuming Rodgers won't be manager beyond about November.

I expressed my doubts after the Boro cup tie and they haven't gone away since, so this wouldn't surprise me.

I hope he goes, there's no scraps in my scrapbook.

It really is a depressing way to think, two full months out from the start of a season.

But I can't blame you.
