His nickname is Ronnie apparently. Anyone know why?

Was runner-up in Junior World Snooker Championships as a 14 year old. Quit after that to concentrate on football
Finally an answer. I've wondered the same meself. Saw it on his Twitter username.
 
His hero is Ronaldo,he apparently used to constantly wear the name on the back of his shirt.....bless......:-)

To be fair,not a bad example to aspire to.

Proper Ronaldo, not Tranny. Has to be pointed out, as it shows good judgement.
I thought it was Christy Ronaldo as he is Portuguese?
Nope, he's actually Brazilian, but moved to Portugal as a young kid. Apparently he turned up to training everyday in Brazil Ronaldo shirt and people just assumed that was his name, then it got shortened to Rony over time

A season long loan to a mid table PL side that plays good possession football, like Everton or Swansea, may help him in the future?

Championship for me. When you think that Deulefeu (?) cant get a regular run of games at Everton, Lopes would have no chance this season

Was getting a decent run of games off the bench before his injury.
 
Ronaldo sent him a signed shirt for his 18th

However much of a twat Ronaldo may be, that is a nice gesture

Do they know each other then?
 
Rony is pretty big news in Portugal, so I guess someone just passed it on to Ronaldo and asked him to sign it for his 18th. I wouldn't be particularly surprised if Ronaldo was told he was named after him

Apparently Pellegrini has told the board to give him a new contract, he must be impressed


He said on twitter recently that he signed a new deal last summer with us.

I know, but if you're trying to get an ego like Tranny to do something nice, you might just fudge the truth though, wouldn't you? ;)

Players develop at different rates. Some then stall, some keep going.

No reason Lopes can't and won't be a bigger talent by the time he's 21. All depends on the development of the two. Right now, Januzaj is in an advantageous situation as he gets to play in a poor team, while Lopes has Silva, Nasri, Navas and Milner to contend with (also potentially Jovetic).

One thing is for sure, if we're serious about talents like Lopes, there is no way we should be signing any new attacking midfielders/wingers in the near future (i.e. Reus, Di Maria, Draxler), or it could destroy any hopes he has. There would just be too many blocking his path, none of them particularly old.


who's 21 ??? .. he is just 18

Date of birth : 28/12/1995
LoveCity never said he was 21.

Sorry for Misunderstanding , English isn't my first language & I've just understood it like that
