Marcos Lopes

Ducado said:
So as a player what does he offer the team?

goals, creativity, good with a dead ball and he's a left footer who plays on the left which we don't have otherwise, potential potential potential at the moment really but that's why (imo) we should give him game time whenever possible and see how he turns out.
 
By far the best player I think we've ever had in our academy, I know it will sound ridiculous, but I genuinely think he could be a future Ballon D'Or candidate. He has everything you'd want in an attacking midfield/winger. Pace, direct dribbling at speed and with accuracy, an eye for a through ball, brilliant technically and a real eye for goal. The lad is going to be special, he's part of an incredible generation coming through in Portuguese football. Hopefully he starts tommorow

Sounds good, I look forward to seeing him play

He has played in some cup matches before hasn't he?

scored the 3rd goal against Watford last year in the 3rd round, played alright against Wigan this year, hit the bar and made a couple of chances, might have a punt on him for first goal tomorrow if he plays.

getting me all excited inside... hope you're someone who goes and watches the ED games, not just saying that off a couple youtube clips. I've only seen him play a few times on TV. definitely looks class, but I need to see more of him before I believe anything like that

Not seen him that much in full games for our EDS, mainly for Portuguese youth sides and a lot of highlights from our EDS and from Benfica's kids. He has the rare combination of raw ability and fantastic attitude that look just so exciting.
 
IMO,not quite the talent BO describes,however he certainly has fantastic ability and,i do agree,that he is one of our very best academy prospects.

A current criticism is his consistency and decision making,he impresses in patches,other times he disappears,i'm hoping this will be rectified with experience.

At his best,he has superb close control,excellent vision and a wicked shot,i hope we get to witness some of that tomorrow.

Spot on .Plays a lot from the right side for the EDS. Hope he plays ( as long as we win of course)
 
He posted a picture of him and David Silva on Twitter saying that he has traveled with the squad to Blackburn, so that's a good sign

Travelled to Blackburn? Surely the coach will depart from Manchester tomorrow ?

Don't they stay over in a hotel the night before, even home games? Might be wrong.

Not even a single mention of Pozo.. Everyone was raving bout' him last season, but he hasn't been himself ever since the injury it seems.. oh well, there are arguments for which is of our talents are the biggest, but obviously none of us can know for sure.. we can only guess :)

pozo? raw as Fuck, good though, there's a lad who'll get better with age and experience.
 
Hope Lopes gets some time on pitch v Blackburn to show how good he is. Difficult to give youth a chance but today should be one of those days. If not Lopes then one of at least our other promising youngsters.

Agree.

Thought he had a good game against Wigan, not exceptional mind. Big opportunity for him today, hope he takes it.
