Lyon, France
Serbian winger
22 years old
On Liverpool's books
Made 19 appearances for the Reds scoring twice
Been out on loan abroad and hasn't played too many games over the last 2 seasons partly due to injury

Halmosi or Elliott?
 
Whichever way, it's going to be interesting to see if Silva can tune all of these in together. Forget all of the owner bullshit, we're certainly going to have some interesting football times in the next four months - most folk thought we did okay against Chelsea, where Snodders was absent and Jake had moved on.

It was all to do with the formation. A well executed 3-5-2.
 
Admittedly he's done **** all in the last 3 or so years. However, something persuaded Liverpool to splurge £20m on him.

I'm prepared to give him a chance and I only hope his form is reminiscent of his time with Benfica before Livepool.

Having checked with Pool supporters since I've seen this "Well something made them splash out on him" comment a lot, it seems their owners are obsessed with re-sale value so picked him up thinking that as a young promising player they couldn't go wrong.
 
We obviously can't get players who have talent and maximum application. Those are at better clubs.

We lack quality and we lack wingers. If this guy has quality and we're taking a gamble on his attitude and commitment, I think it's a gamble we have to take. Hopefully it comes off. If we don't try something then we'll almost definitely go down, and we're not going to get someone proven so...

Silva's best attribute needs to be motivating uncommitted players with poor attitudes. Let's hope he's up to it.

Talking to a few Liverpool fans I know, and they reckon we've got a decent player.

Same here...a few think he was unlucky and are looking forward to seeing how he gets on with us. He'll certainly add some pace to the side anyway

Each time I saw him he looked a bit raw but willing to try something different. I'm excited to see what he can do.
 
Thought I'd just paste the responses I got:

If he's your answer to a possible Snodgrass sale you'll be disappointed. I think he needs to play in the 2nd div.

TBH no idea right now since I havent seen him in action in a competitive fixture since Rodgers was in charge.

Insanely good in rare glimpses but he was very very raw and didnt deliver much end product.

I hope he makes it because he has cult figure potential. Mop of hair and a high number will do that.

Markovic is ****. He'll flop at Hull just like he's flopped everywhere else.

To which I asked..

If he flops everywhere why'd you spend 20m on a 20 year old?

And got:

Good for the locker room banter.

Because we're fools

Our owners were/are obsessed with buying talented youth for resale value and got fleeced. He had a reasonable year in the lead up and we got sucked in.
