Agreed, plus he's already moved over to Manchester from Lisbon when he was 15, He's probably only still settling in so it might be asking a bit much if we didn't get him in with a local club.The Fat el Hombre said:BoyBlue_1985 said:He needs to play games, undoubtedly talented but if he doesn't get game time he wont develop, needs a loan move either now or in the summer because he is not going to get many games with us in the run in
I don't buy this 'he needs a loan move now' business. He's barely played for us and there's no gurantee he'd play for a club that we'd loan him to. If we keep hold of him til the end of the season then he can be useful to us and we will look out for his own interests better than anyone else. We're smashing teams at home every game, there's no reason why he can't come on and get game time in these games. This is a club where he's settled in a team that is playing well and football that suits him with people that are looking out for him. Keep him til the end of the season then take it form there
Yes but we have battered a lot of teams so far this season and how many appearances has he made when we have been cruising to victory? How many times on the bench? I did also say end of season as I dont think he will be going anywhere in the January window which is panic station window. I also agree with you on the style of football if we let him out on loan he would be wasted at a kick and rush teamThe Fat el Hombre said:BoyBlue_1985 said:He needs to play games, undoubtedly talented but if he doesn't get game time he wont develop, needs a loan move either now or in the summer because he is not going to get many games with us in the run in

Cleverley is the best example out there for that. That's not us being biased because most rags would tell you the same. Lopes has the best person to keep his feet on the ground and keep working hard. That is viera.AntiUnited said:Lets not go jizzyjazzayahinho on this kid.. He had a solid outing played really well but that is it. the more he does this the more you can build the hype. nothing is worse when a kid thinks hes the shit and is already planing on big things before proving it on the pitch. look at cleverly for example..

Everything that has come out of the club so far about Lopes suggests he's very focused and very balanced, luckily for us I think the quality in the first team will help to keep him that way too, as well as the quality in the youth ranks below him.AntiUnited said:Ireland_for_pm said:Cleverley is the best example out there for that.

Hopefully but when some young people get that rush of money and fame it will smack them hard(not soccer experience american sports experience witnessing it). and they can stray. its better to keep him lock and key focused on his goals in development and all that glory shit will come later. hopefully this will happen and your correct viera was an amazing footballer that did his talking on the pitch you hardly heard anything off it from him hopefully that will seep in to the youth prospects.
