KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Apparently it's happening, the SOS channel in Serbia have confirmed-they were also right about Jovetic going to Italy before anyone officially announced it.Will he be loaned back? If so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 I just read it on the SOS website. It appears Partizan has sold the rights for Markovic to Chelsea though Partizan itself has denied that information. There will be more news following I guess. SOS is a respected TV channel here.

Thor 2,745 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Wow, this kid is 18? I just scrambled through a few youtube highlights and I can't really gauge anything. Is he really good and dominating the league over there back home?I think loaning him out to a German or PL side would be the best thing instead of back to his current league. It would give us a good understanding of where he's at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would give us a good understanding of where he's at.No, he is not dominating at the moment. He exploded this season under Partizan's previous manager but when Grant came things changed. Partizan didn't play as good as they did and he kept Lazar on the bench a lot of times. He is I believe the fastest player in the league and probably the one with best dribbling ability or at least is among the best.He is one of the most talented players Serbia has produced in quite a while.

termninja 5,290 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Any comparisons as to what type of player he is? What are his strong/weak points outside of the things you mentioned?Speed, football brain, dribbling and his best attributes which is the most important since you can't acquire those through training or at least not in large scale.He needs to work on his stamina, strength, jumping, finishing and FKs but that's of course something normal for an 18 year old. As the times goes he'll improve them.He can play as a winger and a second striker. He was used mostly in a 4-4-2 formation at Partizan and he did well.

termninja 5,290 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Those Ballon D'or winners aren't good enough for you? Well he really does remind me of Messi Very agile and fast and the way he moves between players is like Messi does. He doesn't do any fancy dribbles and stuff like that, but when he has a defender ahead of him, he'll beat him but he will also check if there are any players in a better position then him.But despite all this, it is not the time for him to leave. I would be happy if we signed him, but only if he stayed 1 more year. I would be really sad if we brought him, dumped him in the reserves, sent on a few loans and still not give him sufficient playing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a sensitive soul does that.Well it's got nothing to do with my soul though I'm not a cruel man It's just that he is the biggest gem in Serbian football at the moment, and our players are mostly not good when it comes down to speed and trickery instead, they come, don't ask a lot of questions and kick arse like Vidic and Ivanovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I don't want us to sign him. He will rot in our reserves, have a couple of unsuccessful loans and be sold. Where upon he will be a devastating player, but never reach his potential because of his development being hampered by us.Same reason I'm glad we never captured Erikson, Hazard & co. when we had the chance years ago.

Manas Agrawal 3 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 It was pretty sure to be a long drawn transfer saga for this young lad before the window opened, well, roman did the unexpected and we have a genuine talent in hazard and another star in hulk almost @ CFC!In this frenzy it seems that ppl (media incl)have forgotten abt this link and liverpool and advancing with talks.any news you have come across?

Strike 7,527 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 don't see the need for him. however good he maybe, there are better players at chelsea who look set to hold on to the striker spot for 5-6 years (sturridge and lukaku) and with Piazon coming through the ranks, the wings too have adequate backup. would love to add a CM ahead of a CF or LW atmalso, please rename the thread to just "Lazar Markovic" for ease of use and uniformity.

Usually, if there is some news regarding a player they get posted here, so if they haven't been posted chances are high that there is not news, or at least, nothing credible.

Spike 12,049 Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 As of now, joining Chelsea would be career suicide. He would not even get a look in if Hulk and Hazard to indeed join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
