Report: Number of teams interested in Lazar Markovic

[Harry Squatter]

Don't know what happened to him as soon as he signed for us. I was genuinely excited when we bought him having watched most of the Europa League run he was on the season before. Part of the reason why Benfica lost to Sevilla was because he was banned having been sent off in the semi final.

 

When he came here he got played out of position but even if he was he still would have shown something to demonstrate why we paid 20m for him. He just did absolutely nothing. Maybe it was the realisation that he was getting paid shitloads for doing very little but then 4 clubs basically a level below us have all taken the decision to wash their hands of him. Don't think there's ever been a footballer who has dropped so low in such a short time. He's basically gone from one of Europe's most promising and exciting players to the fella you wonder how he's managed to blag everyone that he is a professional footballer.

I heard he got one of his mates to pretend he was George Weah and he rang up Rodgers saying Markovic was his cousin and that he should sign him immediately, and Rodgers being a bit gullible rushed to slap the money on the table without watching him play first.

Made up when we signed him. Boss name, boss player from a boss club. Was at the Emirates when he went clean through and fucking blew it. Instantly new he was shit. 

 

Benfica though. What a club.

I used to call him Euro Downing but, to be fair, that was beyond generous. He represents maybe the worst phenomenon of modern football: the player who can make an exceptional living to the point where he need never work again, despite being so shit and lazy he almost never plays.

I remember we were linked with him so I looked up his YouTube scouting video. The most underwhelming scouting video I’ve ever seen. I remember posting it at the time.

A product of the policy during Rodgers to buy raw talent at inflated prices in the expectation they will be top players.

Most don't.

The summer we signed Markovic, Lambert, Balotelli, Lallana, Lovren I was convinced Michael Edwards was a useless cunt. Thankfully FSG are a little more patient than i am.
