CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 why? Because we own half of him. It's right there on the previous page! EDIT: Actually it's not on the last page, but I could have sworn that I read it here somewhere. Anyway: As far as I understand, Benfica own half and us the other half.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Im still questioning why we bought Salah. Its not because he wouldbt be good enough, but more because we have Thorgan, Atsu who could fill that gap or we could buy Markovic who was half ours anyway and is bigger prospect.About Markovic, I think he will be very good for liverpool in future. He is special talent, fast and hard working. Brendan knows how to work with youngsters (Danny, coutinho, Sterling), Im sure Markovic will be another one who will succeed in this system. 25m is too much for him right now, but his potential is worth it. I dont know much about Can, but I heard he was great in Bayer, Lovren is also quality CB. Lallana is overpriced and definately not what Lpool needs atm. They need LB more than another AM right now, if they signed Markovic and Lovren ofcourse.I think their team will be good next year; Sturridge is still there and he will score goals. Sterling will improve and they will cover some areas in depth aswell as starters like Lovren.But Suarez is added quality. Before match, opponent shits themselves if they know who they play against. Manager also marks Suarez with more men. This gives more space for rest of lpool players etc. New signing wont have that effect and thats why Lpool wont be in title race. But I still think they will be quality team. Top 5. Suarez is world class and they havent signed such player as replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chels 2,502 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Because we own half of him. It's right there on the previous page! ...As far as I understand, Benfica own half and us the other half. We have the option to buy Benfica's 50% share; Markovic's agent owns the other 50% I believe. So we don't actually own him at all and I assume this means we get nothing out of his transfer to Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chels 2,502 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Could have had him for just under £12m according to the reliable Duncan Castles. Similar price to Salah then and personally I think Markovic is the better player. Not too fussed though.http://www.oneworldsports.com/stories/liverpool-secure-capture-lazar-markovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Losing Suarez and bringing in Lambert, emre can, lallana and markovic is underwhelming. Add Bertrand to their possible ins and Origi with potential loan back to lille and thats pretty shit considering theyre losing luis suarez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrExcalibur100 7,124 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I'm slightly disappointed that this guy is going to Liverpool as he has the potential to be a world-class player in 3-4 years, especially under Rodgers. I know we don't "need" him desperately, but last season we were looking to start with 6 players in those attacking midfield roles. I guess the signing of Salah negates any potential deal. Still won't mind a Di Maria though. But Pogba and Luis first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Really find it interesting everyones saying we shouldn't of signed Salah just because Liverpool are getting this guy. If he was really that good we would have used our option to sign him to be honest, a young winger isn't what we need, we need more players who are coming towards their best years to improve the team as well as developing the younger players. I am really excited to see Salah get more minutes and hopefully hit the ground running in the PL after 6 months of adaption and after his performance vs Swansea in particular, also the two games in the champions league against us, there is also a hell of a lot more to come from him. Also cmon we got Salah ahead of Liverpool, we can't just sign everyone Liverpool wants.... Markovic will be a great player but right now, Salah is better and further ahead in his development.

Strike 7,494 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 1-2 years ago, we'd get him and send him on loan but as BlueLyon said we already have Atsu and others. The timing is wrong to sign him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
