Lazar Markovic

I think Marko would do well in the No.10 role, along with 95% of the rest of our squad unfortunately.

According to this, Benfica & #LFC are negotiating for #Markovic to return to Portugal http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/t...arkovic-return …

I think for years we have tried to sign players who would normally play a number 10 role and stick them out wide, going back to people like Vladimir Smicer and Patrik Berger, we have done this and played them out of position. That said I don't know if this is the case with Markovic, because I still have no idea where he plays

[Phoenix07]

Markovic's best positions are either the right or left wing, but was used primarily on the right for Benfica.

How many times have we used him there? I recall the 1-0 home defeat against Aston Villa being one of them.

[McDermotX]

Gotta admit....... A cutprice return with his meek tail between his legs would be the ultimate flop.

Got to be unlikely........surely.

Just read that Markovic was not given clearance by Liverpool to play in the U21 tournament starting on Wednesday. Strange considering Can has been allowed to go.

Is Markovic carrying a knock?

Are we looking to keep him injury free with a view to selling him this summer? If so, the U21 would have been an ideal shop window. So it can't be that.

Maybe we want him rested and ready for the travails of next season.

Clearly Rodgers asked for him to be withdrawn as he was playing in an attacking role and he felt it compromised his RWB role for next season.

[DannyMan2006]

At a guess, maybe the club feel he needs a full pre season so he can have a fighting chance of doing well this season.

[BigChief]

Which is good thinking. He did look undercooked most of last season despite coming in with a big reputation and price tag. Him, Lallana and Can know where the goal is and we've needed that.

He must be shattered after his 25 match season * 18 as sub

Needs a break to come back firing

He needs all the football he can get.

[Gazzla]

He's got the man of the match award in his last 2 internationals playing in his natural position. Why we've ****ed around sticking him at wing back then seemingly binning him altogether is madness.

His last two games? They lost 2-0 to Denmark in their last game? In the previous match he came on as a sub?
