Marquinhos: A No Marq?

[jones]

Finally our Wellington Silva replacement

 

[Tom Mix]

Delighted with this! We've been needing a new Wellington Silva for years.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

He'll have been given a Marseille kit & open ended one-way ticket on the side just in case his initial meeting with Tets goes just how we'd expect.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

The type of signing that makes you dream

 

[FinnGooner]

Welcome. Hopefully more Martinelli than Wellington Silva

 

[SA Gunner]

Welcome son

 

[sergio_giorgini]

Our Marquee-nhos signing of the summer.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Welcome and best of luck. I hope he does well for us.

 

[GDeep™]

I wouldn't be expecting anything from him in the next couple of years, if at all. It's basically like hoping one of the academy kids comes good, a small chance but highly unlikely. Cases like Martinelli are once in a blue moon.

Stating the obvious here aren’t you Fieldy.

Easy for people to think it will be another Martinelli. People shouldn't be under any illusions that it's nothing more than a punt.

So was Martinelli. No one here was excited when we signed him. You never know, he may be better than Martinelli

 

[Paperino]

Martinelli was identified by a real talent eye. I dont know if thats the case with this guy. Edu has no talent ID.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Who?

 

[tap-in]

Hopefully this is where the group stages of the Europa league comes into its own.
6 games and early cup games should give him a good feel for things. Throw in match day squads in which he gets thrown on with another 5 attackers when we need a goal. At that rate he will end up with the same amount of appearances as Saka.

Agreed. Get him involved pre season then see if he can play a part in the games you mentioned. Got to be happy with this signing, its the only way to unearth a future starter for little money, or a sell on for a big profit.

 

[Entropics]

Apparently he's physically not ready for England in general so wonder who will we loan him to.

 

[sergio_giorgini]

Btw Marquinhos is no Wellington Silva. This kid has a good chance of making it here. It all depends on his mentality and dedication. Is he an elite youngster?probably not. But the talent is there, just a question of whether he can implement it at the highest level. Let’s wait and see.

 

[Barry]

Great to be signing some experienced defensive cover. I'm all for more Centre Backs. Welcome.

 

[billyf]

Welcome

 

[balthazar]

To pisss of Wolves, we should loan him out to Grasshoppers as well.

 

[Heskey]

Technical director Edu said: “We’re delighted to have completed the transfer with Sao Paulo, as Marquinhos was a player we had been watching for a while. At 19, he is still very young, so he is a player for the future. We look forward to Marquinhos now joining us for pre-season, making his new home, and continuing to grow and develop with us.”

Arteta was tired of Pepe ignoring his shouts on the sideline so replaced him with a new forward with big enough ears to never be able to close out Arteta.
