Why did Marquinhos spend all his time around the first team instead of training with the academy?

This is a rhetorical question btw.

I already answered you earlier. Can't believe you're continuing this.

He wasn't bought for the first team for 3 million pounds ffs. He surprised in training while getting adjusted to the country and club, so they kept him around to show if he can surprise everyone and to have some cover.

He was loaned after 6 months after his adjustment, and having not been able to perform that well in the end, which was expected.

The argument was silly in the end anyway, because Segoe Jr. had not been bought at all unlike Marquinhos, which was why you said there is 1% chance for a youth player to start.

Btw. I also have the impression that he trained with both U21 & first team on different occasions.

Marquinhos, however, is regarded as a development player and will not be a barrier to other first-team acquisitions.
