Rony Lopes

[Neville Kneville]

Lopes is officially a part of the first team. It would be a shock if a new deal for him was for much less than £40k a week. That's probably about the baseline. If he becomes a key player, we then double his wages in a few years.

I don't really agree with almost anything else you said either, for the record. None of those players have shown themselves to be further along than Lopes.

Matter of opinion I suppose. I think they are all more intelligent as footballers than he was at the same age & possibly than he is now & some are better footballers than he was, in fact most of them I listed are more impressive imo.

He played almost in a different era. The last EDS team is better in almost every position than the one which preceded it imo. Denayer being the exception.

And as for a new deal being 40k pw, surely Lopes would have to prove himself as part of the first team in order to get that ? When will that happen ?

saying all of those other players are further along than lopes was might be a rash IMO. the kid was compared to Hazard and James Rodriguez by Lille's manager. He also looked a class above any of the others when he was in our EDs, standing out more so than anyone currently is.

You and I could look like James or Eden at Lille. That side is void of creativity and rely on a top GK to keep them afloat.

Being sold to Monaco it seems and then loaned out to Lille.
