Marcos Lopes

It's going to be very difficult now for Lopes to force his way into the side. With potentially De Bruyne and Pogba both arriving and even more likely Nasri not leaving it's going to be difficult to find they boy a chance. Let's hope it works out well for him.

Lopes will be up against KDB, Sterling, Silva, Navas and Nasri if we end up keeping all of them. However we appear to be moving towards playing an single striker which'll allow him more opportunities it must be said, that combined with the fact he's seems to be left sided means he'll actually be against only KDB and Nasri, and if Nasri's form is anything to go by, he could get a fair few starts in this transitional season before becoming truly second choice and fighting KDB full time. If we actually get him that is.

Nasri may have more game time in a central position, he certainly looked like he was on a mission against Melbourne.

Rony is at his best centrally but can also play left or right just like nasri, silva, sterling and de Bruyne in fact the only attacking mid u might say has a set position is Navas and also sterling has already said he wants to play left wing not right.
 
In the last few years, we've rarely had a time when all of our key play makers have been simultaneously fit, so there's every likelihood that Lopes will see game time. Pellegrini, however, will have to be more assertive with his substitutions and introduce attackers earlier from the bench than he has done. Doing so will keep players happier but will also help us play with greater intensity throughout games rather than allow matches to drift.
 
What do we think about this new link with Lyon who are looking to buy or loan with an option to buy?

We'd be stupid to let him go, looked very comfortable when he played on tour and can play in a number of positions, also he is the only club trained hg player in our first team.
 
The more I think about the possibility of us getting rid of Rony it makes lass sense he has been the poster boy for 3 years, the example to all the scholars to see what they can archive if they apply themselves so for us to ship him out at 20 after a great debut and an even better full debut followed by an impressive loan spel baring injury of course it would just undermine everything that has been said and done around our new academy completely, I get that if he was shit but he is good enough for a squad place and is on low wages so why would we sell?
 
wouldn't be suprised if he left, pelligrini isn't going to play him in the first team. He doesn't want to play just cup games. Unless we get a manager who actually plays youth then i think most of them will end up leaving. I can bet that it will be kompany and mangala most of the time instead of denayer.
