Marcos Lopes

[silvasleftleg]

I don't see him as a midfielder. He's similar to Aguero, a forward.

Deserved his MOTM today. We need to keep playing him in games like this as clearly he has plenty of talent which needs nourishing. Deserves game time against Watford on the weekend.

Could this lad be the new Silva . I was impressed when he played against Watford last year . He looks very good we have another gem .

more of a Nasri than a Silva but I think he's more direct that the two. Hopefully tonight will earn him some serious suitors in the Premier League if we do decide to loan him

If we loan him out . I don't want him to go to any crap team like West Ham . He would be wasted at a team like that .

What he lacks right now is forward passing. He needs to make more risky passes, right now all of his passes have been to the side or back. But that will probably come with confidence. What a lad!

Except that he is not at all. More like (but not the same ) as Silva but a better eye for a goal.

Played very well tonight, very quick, had some good moments during the match and I would like to see him get a start on Saturday, Marcos could be a very good addition to the first team if he keeps focussed on his development..............

Lopes praised the holistic approach at #mcfc which is making his transition to first team more straightforward

Agreed, he looks ready. For our system too....

I agree. I can see a bit of Tevez in him

Lopes was M of M against wigan and again tonight , the lad doesnt give the ball away , good first touch , sees a pass , got all the attributes to get a place on our bench regularly and hopefully progress to the first team , he reminds me of aguero/tevez/silva , needs to start against watford , great to see a player of this quality come through our academy.

From what I've seen of the EDS I don't think he's that comparable with any of our players. Might turn out to be the closest to Jovetic. He seems to me to be a wide-forward, similar to Messi and Ronaldo (in style), hovering out wide and cutting inside onto his favoured foot.

Very good today, I just want people to remember he'll have some very bad games ahead of him, it's only natural at his age and I hope people don't start selling him down the river when that happens.

As he showed today, the kid has some incredible talent and this game time will be vital to his development. I wonder how long he is from a Premier League debut.

A great performance by Marcos

You can all forget about loaning him out as he will have a couple of cup finals to play in this season and be part of the first team squad next season :)

 

[I Live In A Blue House]

Excellent exciting player that will get better & better with more game time! Confidence & skill factor already there for all Blues to enjoy:)

 

[Nelly's Left Foot]

He's not been setting the world alight often for the youth teams he has played in this season so it was good to see him play well tonight. Developing ok.

 

[Silvas_Left_Foot]

I think it'll be important for us as fans to stick with the lad, could be very easy for us all to lose patience with him if he makes a couple of mistakes. Manuel is doing the right thing to slowly integrate him into the the team and he has a very bright future ahead of him if he carries on progressing as he is at the moment!

This thread shows just how far we have come - posters now believe that joining Barcelona from City is taking the easy route? Some might call it taking the opportunity to go home and join the worlds biggest club!

 

[kun]

How do you come to that conclusion! He has been with is for at least 18mths. Will you say the same for any player we pay money for? Some right miserable people on here.

Been with us since he was 16.

My pal who's a coach at City said he was brought to the academy at 15 from Benfica, but within 2 weeks of arrival he was moved to Carrington as he was that good. Got high hopes for him.

Yep, he actually came on the 2012 pre-season tour at 15 with the first team and made a few appearances.

Hopefully he plays a part against Watford on Saturday
