incometax 116 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Why would Avram Grant advise someone to sign for a team who sacked him because we lost a Champions League final on penalties? Grant still has a good relationship with abramovich and he always was a temporary caretaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Reading the OP of this thread, it's my firm belief he should stay in Serbia for 3-4 more years. The problem with kids moving too early from Europe is they get lost in the system here. If they wait till they're about 22-24 then they have a more significant chance of making the first team squads of the teams that sign them. This way their original clubs make more profit, and allow their individual leagues to grow.This is looking out in the best interest of the game, not just Chelsea, Markovic & Partizan.

Melanicus 5,208 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Because he knows we would pay a stupid amount more than most other clubs would.I thought there were no answer at BlueLion's question, until I saw that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what both Lazar and the club want.Look at what happened with Savic. Went out to early and got the chance to play once a month and that was usually not on his position. Then he gets a big chance against Liverpool and makes a mistake that further makes the manager lose faith in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kids are too quick to make their moves to these big clubs, Erikson learnt his lesson pretty swifly, it's perhaps a blessing in disguise that we rejected him. Well, you could argue it anyway.I mean it's why you have to respect the likes of Neymar, Lucas, Ganso et al. The guys who are willing to wait, willing to develop in their native countries whilst maintaing ambitions to step up. But the step up occurs too often for some of these guys when they're 16-19. Alright we have exceptional cases across the globe, like our own [temproary] Oriol Romeu. However these cases are a rareity.It's why I don't worry about Josh McEachran. The kid JUST turned 18. We don't want to rush him onto the big stage, with pressure on his own his shoulders. Alright we can say he's better than our current crop, but the pressure he'll have on himself is enormous. Cleverly and Welbeck had to prove themselves at smaller clubs before they proved their quality to SAF.Back on topic, Markovic could be an extrodinary talent! He's already proven some of his potential by being a Serbian internatioanl at just 17, but he should be left to develop. Not just speaking for Chelsea, but for all the big clubs from Barcelona to Inter Milan. They should allow these youngsters to develop in their native countries till they reach an age where they have enough years of football to handle the pressure of expectations.

OneMoSalah 8,887 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 He is a Chelsea fan so you can forget Liverpool signing him. Hes mad to play for Chelsea likely, just like Romelu Lukaku xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwonder 11 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Obviously he is good but not on chelsea's level yet. Great burst of pace and he possess some trickery with the ball. he will come good in a couple of years. but i dont think we should buy him now cos he can only play in the reserves. if we can negotiate the right of first refusal on him and let him play at partizan for another two years, it would be nice. a player for the future no doubt. the potential is there and since he is a self confessed chelsea fan, we should give him a trial and keep an eye on him for the next 2 years. looks like a younger jovetic to me.

radaPT 54 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Translation: Chelsea offers 17M for Lazar Markovic.Chelsea is planning to sign the youngster Lazar Markovic, 17 years old from Partizan, offering 17M.Lazar was pointed as a Liverpool possible signing, but the 'reds' got 'scared' with the asked price.With the premiership rival away, the blues are now preparing the negotiations without pressure.20 matches this season and 7 goals scored.My opinion:I gotta be honest, i have never heard about this guy, this was the first time so i decided to share with my Chelsea friends ( i think there isnt a thread about this guy yet ). This new kinda scares me, does Roman think Chelsea will get back to the deserved spot in the world's fooball with a 17yo? Anyways it might be a clue that Roman wants to invest a lot next season... I really dont know what's on his mind, i just want Chelsea back to the top, so i would obviously prefer Hazard or Gotze (tho as for the videos i saw, this Markovic lad seems promising, but who doesnt on youtube.

J.F. 1,484 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 believe me, we can sign him for 5milion, Partizan president Dragan Djuric is cock, he always sell best players for low price, he isn't like Zdravko Mamic or someone else, he is fuckin stupid, and Markovic is really great player, + Chelse fan.

manpe 10,861 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 17 million of what? euros, pounds, yens? Well, doesn't matter if euros or pounds, it's too much nonetheless. Our youth team/reserves is already riddled with imports, it's time we signed some decent players for first team. But if he comes cheap, then why not, I doubt Vitesse would say no.

incometax 116 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 17m?!For this guy; thats an absolute steal. Ive never rated a young player as much as I have Markovic. I would pay up to 45 million pounds for him. He thats good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amblève. 4,995 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Nah, please, no. I know he has great potential, but what we really do need are players in their prime or at least just 1-2 years before their prime. We need players who can make their mark right away, not 3-5 years after signing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
