Was curious as to some of our former players and noticed that Leo Lopes is currently a free agent, I'd take him on a deal to the end of the season to cover the loss of Zambrano.
Not for me. I never want to see any of the lazy Bar stewards of the 8-0 loss to Wigan in a City shirt again
It's odd, he was one of our best players that season yet half the fanbase will tell you he's **** because he swapped shirts after the Wigan game.
Since we had Bowen and Grosicki for half of that season, I assume you aren't including them. Sorry but him and the rest stank the place out at Wigan and undid any of the good they had done previously. Leaves a sour taste for me. (Nothing to do with shirt swapping btw) Wally Out
I thought he was a talented lad and he's still only 23 I think. I don't blame him for that 8-0 loss, the whole team gave up that day and expecting a 19 year old lad to somehow pick up the slack is ridiculous.
Bowen ten out of ten tonight he’s worked his socks off everywhere , he’s very football savvy- Slater ought to watch him and gym it up he’s young enough .
The whole team was to blame for that debacle - he was part of that team. You'd take him back - fair enough, that's your opinion - I wouldn't. For me, we need to be looking at better players than those who got us relegated last time
He wasn’t ****. He was technically-gifted. He was also one of many to completely down tools. I dare say, looking at our squad now, there’s a fair few who I think would do the same if we find ourselves in the same situation next April to May.
You also have to wonder why, after being a key player and starting most games for Cercle Brugge last season and the last few seasons for that matter, he was allowed to leave on a free transfer and nobody has signed him since his contract expired at the end of June. Still in his mid-20s, no injury concerns as he’s started most games for the last three years but hasn’t found a new club in five months? I’d wager clubs and agents know something we don’t.
He was a proper player for us, but it seems like maybe he struggles with not being an automatic first choice.
I also think he’s not suited to the premier league yet. His skill set is odd, he’s not particularly creative, he’s not a top level dribbler but he’s an elite finisher. He won’t get the level of chances though at teams like Brentford
