Lazar Marković

[Bobby Hundreds]

"Thankyou for everything and goodbye" is how goodbye should be done. Well done lazar and welcome.

[Jhinge Machha]

He won't even come close to the silky skilled Voronin though.

 

 

hope Lazar has voronin's fashion sense at least

That pissing dog gif is weird

[Iceman]

This is a great signing. I'm very excited about this one! Maybe not as excited as a pissing Ewok, but still very much looking forward to seeing what he can do for us.

[Anubis]

Nobody can rock a tracksuit like The Wolfman. Effortless panache.

With this kid and Sterling in the same side, you have to assume some defensive sphincters are gonna get stretched next season.

[Pureblood]

Hope he's more Stevie G than Speedy G.

How Good Is Markovic? 

Markovic's explosive dashes have become a trademark of his game, as the back lines of Sporting Lisbon and Belenenses found out.

When Markovic is in full flight, opposing defenders are often laboring to keep up with the Serbian's shadow, giving you an idea of how quick he is with the ball. 

While he is elusive and can evade tackles, he is direct and will generally go for goal. 

He scored a pivotal goal against Gil Vicente which engineered a late comeback in a 2-1 win.

In a 2-0 win over Porto, Markovic accelerated deep into Porto's defensive half, forced several of their players out of position and then played a perfect through-ball to team-mate Rodrigo, who lashed the ball past Porto goalkeeper Helton.

From a technical point of view, Markovic is a world-class player, which was displayed when he dinked the ball over Vitoria Guimaraes goalkeeper Douglas, ran around him, controlled the ball and walked it over the line for a goal.

Good styles FAST finishing

[Lario]

"Fucking FSG not spending anything, keeping all the money for themselves, Ayre the fucking fake scouser!"

 

In before the nightcat.

[FrenchEyeGlass]

He's got paddy berger hair. It's a good a sign.

[RazorBack]

Sa Markovićem razjebat čemo cijelu Premier Ligu. Isto onaj United. I Chelsea. I Arsenal. Good signing, now bring us Reus.

[RedKnight]

Finally some decent hair added to the squad.

[Mathewbet1]

Got to be honest never heard of him or ever seen him play. Hope he's good.

[Paco]

"He's very versatile," says James Pearce "He's quick, skillful, he's got a great work ethic so he will fit in well with Liverpool's style of play."

[JagSquared]

He sounds like he should be part of White Goodman's dodgeball team.

 

"Blazer, lazer, tazer and.... Lazar"

Not sure how credible that Tor-Kristian Karlsen fella is but saw someone mention him the other day. On Markovic:

 

@karlsentk: I've followed his career since making Partizan debut, talent and potential obvious from the point of breaking into the first team (1/5)

 

@karlsentk: Top European sides were monitoring him back then, most of those impressed by his great ability though some concerns re "frail" physique(2/5)

 

@karlsentk: In terms of potential there's no doubt in my mind that Markovic is among the top 3-5 greatest talents in European football (3/5)

 

@karlsentk: Main characteristics: great ability on the ball (close control, touch), explosive/very quick in one vs one situations, intelligent (4/5)

 

@karlsentk: Transfer fee may seem high but if player develops according to expectations/potential, he could (should) be worth x2 in 18-24 months (5/5)

Those Tweets sound like they could have been about Vladimir Smicer though.

[Sugar Ape]

Those Tweets sound like they could have been about Vladimir Smicer though.

 

If you ignore the fact Smicer was about 26 when he joined and never rated as one of the top talents in Europe, then yeah.

[Tony Moanero]

[swampthing]

Avram Grant recently claimed he had only seen two players as talented at his age - c Ronaldo & Messi. Just sayin...

[Hades]

Karlsen has been known to be wrong. Was hyping up Coates as the best young South American defender in 2011.

[cloggypop]

He was boss at the World Cup
