After spending two and a half years with the club, Marquinhos will be heading out on his fourth loan spell, further confirming that he is not part of our long-term plans.
It would not be an understatement to call him a forgotten man, given the amount of time the 21-year-old has spent away on loan. Having recently returned from a year-long stint with Fluminense, he is set for another spell in the Brazilian Serie A, with Arsenal confirming his move to join Cruzeiro on their official website. He will be with the side until the end of the Brazilian campaign in December, spending the entire year with them.

It was a mistake for him to come to Arsenal… at that time he should have signed with Fulham
I don’t believe this was that much our worst mistake to really worry about considering the level at which we got him.
There’s real bad blunders we made and we may not be ready to correct them as fast …. that is if there’s a desire to correct them anyway. Our left side and especially the attack and even the central attack have become permanently experimental despite results showing how badly serious solutions are needed in these areas …… and we have mastered the art of burying our heads in the sand against this situation. With things as they are, I’m beginning to doubt if we, as yet, have a long term solution for our defensive midfield.
MA might fight the best he can to spin us out of our mess, that he sometimes blames the match ball suggests we’re badly stretching him.
Yes. But it was still a mistake for him to have come here instead of signing with Fulham. I think he would have had more playing time there. We made a mistake by not choosing better teams to which we loaned our young players. Brazilian football is a total mess (yes, I’m Brazilian) and here Marquinhos played more as a right back and defensive midfielder than as a winger. I saw that Monaco bought a strong striker with a good finish. Will we be paying 50 million for him in two years?
Valid point. Thanks
That same CF was with us and he was never have a look at by our coach.
Why are they still loaning him out. Why don’t they just sell him, they’re just mucking the poor lad around.
