Match Thread | Al-Ain vs Man City (015/05/14)

Lopes out on loan to Leicester or Burnley for a year and watch him flourish.

They would never play him, to trust a young loanee player to help a promoted Championship side stay up in the Premier League is a bad move.

Spain for me, or even Portugal if we were to loan him because I want to him get at least 25 appearences.

I think City will promote him next season though, time for us to be brave and believe in the lad.

Micah the MAGNIFICENT!!!

25,000 sell out apparently, good news.

Lopes has got to get more game time next season. Looked classy today - fast, competitive, smart, aggressive and great with the ball at his feet :)

Send him to NYCFC or MCHC for a season or two.

Maybe he would want to go on a loan to MCWFC, although it might hurt his skill development. I mean in footballing terms.

No no. Keep Lopes in the squad for at least 3 years. We need club home-growns.

He's also probably one of the few youth players that are capable of coming on and not looking out of place in our team. I'd like to see him eased into the team over the next couple of years, because he's definitely good enough.

didn't read the whole thread, so excuses if this is a silly question but - is there a way to watch the whole game somewhere? missed it yesterday due to work. highlights won't do for me since I want to see the younger players (especially Lopes and Huws) in action.

cheers in advance.
