    I have not seen him play this season, so that’s not an easy question to answer. Supposedly he’s gotten taller, which I think would make a big difference for his game.

    I liked his game last season. Wouldn’t have said he was one of the few best 08’s, but was a prospect to watch. Certainly wouldn’t have been out of place in a USYNT camp.

    Possible he’s improved a lot this season and is now an elite ‘08 or it’s also possible this is a very low level and these stats are indicative of that he’s a good prospect playing at a very low level.

    So you’re saying that’s why he’s on the bench?

    It always has to be a conspiracy....
    He's on the bench because of the great satan Rafa Marquez and he will undermine his game by putting acidic ben gay cream in his gloves so his hands burn and he plays poorly to get cut by Barca and ruin his career. That's why I posted it....or just because I thought it was interesting.

    So everyone will exhibit some epic ardido while losing and get dumb red cards.

    Rafa Marquez was an awesome player in his prime.

    I was joking.

    I think it's great that he gets a shot to be with the reserve team. He's a U-17 in age, so normally he'd be with the Juvenil B team, I'd think, or maybe Juvenil A.

    My opinion is that it'd be best if he was playing those weeks as opposed to sitting on the bench, but maybe that means they rate him very high. Always hard to know. Some clubs will put the top prospects on the bench at higher levels rather than playing them at lower levels, and other clubs will put the lesser prospects on the bench (when they won't play) at higher levels, and let the top prospects play at higher levels.

    Hard to know which it is and it could be some of everything trying to balance playing time of multiple keepers they rate, but it's certainly notable that he's making the reserve team bench.
