Nottingham Forest Academy And Under 21's

[Paplane]

I will admit to not knowing much about young Marcus but the fact that he has been at both Arsenal and Barcelona gives me hope that he could turn out to be a very astute signing.

I'm hoping the same Alf but the negative side of me says that previous potential & previous clubs played for often have no relevence to how good a player is. I give you Bostock, Roger Riera, Bendtner as examples.

He's 21 so only a year younger than Yates so no reason for him not to play if he's good enough. I just wonder if by saying he's in the under 23's, they're trying to look after him, get him reaclimatised, property settled after etc before they expose him to the pressures of the first team. It sounds like hes lost his way a bit recently.
