Recalling Players

Status
Not open for further replies.
Lazar Markovic has hit out at his former manager Brendan Rodgers. The Liverpool winger, who cost £20m from Benfica, is currently on loan at Fenerbahce and can’t be recalled until January (aka end of season). “I didn’t have a good relationship with the coach,” Markovic told Portuguese newspaper A Bola, cited in the Express. “That was a problem. I played in many positions but didn’t play in mine.”

So can he come back in Jan or not?

Why is Jan the end of the season in Turkey?

From being a football manager connoisseur, I can tell you it is not January, it's sometime in May, as I usually go poaching youth players from them around then.

James Pearce from the Echo has backpeddled on his story and confirmed today he can't be recalled in Jan.
 
However, suggestions Markovic could return to Liverpool in January under Klopp appear unlikely, as the ECHO understands Liverpool do not have the right to recall him from his season-long loan.
Representatives of Markovic did believe he could be recalled in the winter transfer window, but it now appears he will stay in Istanbul for the entire campaign.

I guess it's still possible, but we would probably have to pay the turks whatever they ask to get our Marko back. Bad idea to loan him out; it has to be said that Rodgers did some damage with his decisions in his last few months in charge.

Thanks. James Pearce confirmed he's full of shit today. Yesterday saying he could be recalled, today confirming he can't.

I think the fact that both the player himself and his agent thought it WAS possible to return shows how little anyone actually knew about the details of the deal.

Changed for accuracy.

Fucking shoddy by the club to loan him out, considering they had been watching him for years. Loans for established players tend to be the death knell for us
 
You do wonder if those blank pieces of paper that they photograph the players signing actually ARE the contracts! I bet most players have little idea what's in their contract, apart from the wages.
 
Just as a matter of course, why WOULDN'T we put in a potential recall clause? Regardless of whether we think that we actually might or not. It would appear to me, not knowing the details, a ludicrous position to not have the option to recall.

I assume a helluva lot of clubs wouldn't play ball if you did unless they really wanted the player desperately or the loaning club are still playing a large portion of the wages.

If you were manager you wouldn't want a player if you knew as soon as he started playing well he would be off at a moment's notice.

For the club getting the player on loan it's almost a guaranteed lose lose situation!

Yes. I don't know how this stuff works, but I can't see why the club can't be much more forward-thinking about these deals. Last season we recalled Ibe when we really needed another first team player, only for him to be cup-tied when we had the biggest game of the season coming up. Surely if the club isn't sure it wants a player to stay on loan all season, it would make sense to stop him getting cup-tied? Especially when his loan club probably only plays one round before getting knocked out. Ginsoak was always on top of this aspect - the loaning club has the power to dictate terms, so it dictates them.
 
Remember when Ferguson took back a few player out of spite when he son was sacked?

Not a moment's notice, the FA wouldn't allow it. I'm just talking about in the Jan window
 
[article]Liverpool currently have 17 players out on loan -- many of whom are youngsters looking to gain first-team experience to help their development.

Some of them, however, may have been considered by Klopp for first-team action had they still been at Anfield this season.

Winger Lazar Markovic is at Turkish club Fenerbahce, right-back Andre Wisdom is at Norwich and central defender Tiago Ilori is at Aston Villa.

Striker Mario Balotelli, meanwhile, is at AC Milan for the season, while young wingers Sheyi Ojo (Wolves) and Sergi Canos (Brentford) are on loan at Championship clubs.

Klopp has not said which of those he would like to recall, but has made clear that he has considered bringing players back -- not least because it would have given him more options for the Bournemouth clash, which is his team's fourth match in 12 days.

The manager said: "I don't understand all the rules at the moment. With players on loan, whether we can get them back or not, that's really different to Germany.

"But that's not the most important thing for the next game. I don't have to think about this right now."[/article]
