10 most questionable signings made by Liverpool in the last 10 years

#1 Lazar Markovic (2014)

Lazar Markovic

Another one of Rodgers' signings in the wake of Luis Suarez's departure, Lazar Markovic looked like an extremely talented bloke who had the skillset to become a very successful Liverpool winger in the future. He was brought in from Benfica for £20 million. Fans were immediately excited for this new kid to show what he has, based on the hefty price tag alone. He could not do anything. Sure, he showed flashes of brilliance here and there but he was poor for the most part in 2014-15. He failed to impress throughout the season and he was shipped off on loan for the next few seasons.

He went to Fenerbahce, Sporting Lisbon and Hull City, but he would not find much success at any of those clubs. Markovic would return to Melwood after each of those loan spells, hoping to do something of note to impress Jurgen Klopp. But it never happened. The Serbian winger spent the entirety of the 2017-18 as a member of the Reds squad, without stepping onto the pitch for one moment. This just shows how far the once promising wide-man has fallen since his big move to England.

Shockingly, he remains at Liverpool as the club have been trying to recover some amount of the bomb the shelled on Markovic. There are no takers for him because of that and it is getting increasingly frustrating for both him and the club. This is similar to the Aquilani case, only more extreme. He is still a Liverpool player, despite his last start for Liverpool coming at wing-back in the FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa where he was replaced at half-time. That pretty much sums up his Reds career. Even though he remains at Anfield, Lazar Markovic's Liverpool career is dead and buried.
