Yes. Afaik Liverpool loan him to Dortmund until the end of the season then Dortmund will loan him from Real for another season.I'm confused, He's a Real Madrid player, loaned to Liverpool who are loaning him to Dortmund ?
As said 2017. And they probably had to adjust the wage as he had a contract until 2016 before that.Bender has just extended his contract until 30th June 2016.
To be fair, he had a long-term injury to recover from, while also having to fight Alonso, Khedira and Modric for a CM spot. He was doomed from the very beginning imo. Going to Real was a stupid decision in the first place, considering that he was the star of an up-and-coming Dortmund team. It makes no sense to warm the bench in Madrid then. I'm also sure a lot of other good clubs offered decent contracts as well. Why didn't he pick them? In hindsight, his Real move could potentially be the move that destroyed his whole career.he failed big at Real Madrid too.

He didn't have Modric there during his first season, and he wasn't injured that much at all. I remember he played couple of games for Turkey while he was "injured" for Real Madrid. There was one period when Mourinho was saying he was injured all the time, yet he got national call and played good for Turkey, and Mourinho said this after:To be fair, he had a long-term injury to recover from, while also having to fight Alonso, Khedira and Modric for a CM spot.

Another point i seem to recall was that mourinho suggested Sahin needed the team to be built around him, and that he didn't seem comfortable fitting into different types of systems.He didn't have Modric there during his first season, and he wasn't injured that much at all. I remember he played couple of games for Turkey while he was "injured" for Real Madrid. There was one period when Mourinho was saying he was injured all the time, yet he got national call and played good for Turkey, and Mourinho said this after:
"No offence, but Real Madrid is a much better team than the Turkish national side. Club sides are better than national teams and it's easier to play regularly for your country's team than for your club because the teams are stronger.
"It's great news for us that Sahin did well and he can do even more if he continues to have a great preseason and to grow with the team. We're in no condition to kid around and use players who, in my opinion, aren't as productive as others right now."
...which proved he wasn't injured at all during that period, and that either he simply wasn't good enough, or that Mourinho didn't trust him for some other reason. Considering Rodgers never trusted him also, it's not hard to figure out what was the main problem.
And even when they were declaring him as fit, he was getting apps in some odd (most often cup) games where they already had good results from first the game.
However, I agree on part where you say he shouldn't go to Madrid, that was immature from him, and what was even more idiotic is that he was saying he wouldn't go anywhere else even on loan because "Real Madrid was the best club in the world for him, bla bla," even when they were clearly ignoring him. He practicly slowed his development for almost two years.
Could be, yes.Business for him as usual in Dortmund? Seems to be doing well again. Perhaps one of those players who shouldn't leave the bird nest?
Rodgers seemed to be using him wrong, instead of playing him where Xabi plays as that deeper playmaker at Pool he was often the most advanced of the three from what I saw. I remember Allen and Gerrard sitting and Sahin being played in that position off the striker where Henderson has been getting games. He didn't seem to know how to use him at all which might explin why he didn't really perform.Could be, yes.
Sahin has undeniable qualities, which could help nearly any team in the world. He has one big problem, though. He is quite one dimensional and can only really deliver on one position as creative CM or "8".
This spot was taken by the nearly untouchable Xabi Alonso at Madrid, when he transfered there. It was clear, that he would have a hard time there to get play time. His injury at the start of the 2011/2012 season basically sealed his fate there. The Modric deal at the end of his first season made it quite clear, that they planned without him.
What followed was his unsuccessful spell at Liverpool and there it was not so much his competition or injuries, which were the roots of his problems. The biggest difference between Sahin at Liverpool and the current Sahin at Dortmund sits on the bench. An overall decent coach in difference to a world class coach.
Rodgers simply could not manage to use him to his biggest potential.
