Great info Sam thank you. My team Burnley f c are heavily linked to Marcus today. All our players defend from the front. So I'm surprised we are linked with a player who does not track back. Fresh start for the lad, as he sure is a talent. Good luck to him and Sporting CP. I watched Victor Győkeres at Turf Moor two seasons ago. What a player.
Fair points, he’s been treated unfairly this year. Not even 350+ mins this season. How can you show what you can do when you aren’t allowed on the pitch
Agreeed, been very unlucky with injuries. But there’s been many times when sporting are either losing or drawing and he’s on the bench, knowing he can change a game and he’s never bought on. I don’t understand
Internal club politics appear to have significantly hindered Marcus Edwards’ (ME) progress at Sporting Lisbon. The club, along with influential agent Jorge Mendes, seems to prioritize players like Trincão and Pedro Gonçalves (Pote), who are considered untouchable assets. These players are tied to lucrative contracts and are central to the club’s strategy, particularly given their potential involvement with national teams. In contrast, ME’s decision not to sign a contract extension was, in my view, a wise move. Agreeing to new terms might have sealed his fate at Sporting, limiting his opportunities even further. Being sidelined by head coach Rúben Amorim throughout 2024 would no doubt have shattered his confidence and stalled his development. Despite these setbacks, I firmly believe the best is yet to come for ME.
Doesn't track back and doesn't defend? Bro thinks he's Ronaldo 😂😂 Bro used to be my FM god signing, it's sad to see where it's gone... Also, he's 26, he's not young, he's essentially at the point where his peak comes into play, if his peak is not getting a game in the Portuguese Prem, then he's not got a hope in hell of reaching any sort of potential they thought he had
And he's now a Claret. Very excited about this signing.

I still believe in him, if he improves his finishing, work rate and starts building back his confidence he can go back to his 2021/22 form.

He’s a great player, but he doesn’t press or come back on the defence side. He needs to be at a club that won’t make him defend as much
Saturday, taça da liga final, arrived late and missed the bus. Unbelievable!!!! Lack of professionalism.
He had an injury and has recently been ill, but yes he has lost impact in the team and seems unmotivated.
