Whoever said Edwards has an ego problem and what's Sylvia's Mother got to do with all this
Only seen him play twice, once as cameo for the 1st team when he was injured and once for one of the junior teams against Real Madrid. He is very small physically and plays and looks like a schoolboy. Maybe he needs a lot more physical conditioning before he can hope to play in the EPL? Of course that will not help if his attitude stinks...we’ve had a few of those before. The young lad we bought from Crystal Palace whose name elides me to name but one. He never made it.
Think that was John Bostock . He was supposed to be the next superstar but sadly he went backwards . There was a lot of criticism coming our way because of how we signed him . I read very recently in a double page spread , in the Mail I think,that he had signed for a foreign club , got his head sorted out and was making it big again in football. Shows that it can be done
Thanks Ex It's good to know that when things sometimes go wrong , there are people out there willing and able to help these lads get back on track . Hopefully the same can be said of young MarcusJohn, got back in with Royal Antwerp - and really impressed, went to Lens and came on leaps and bounds - got snapped up by Supalige side Bursaspor in January, but hasn't put a foot on the pitch for them yet...if he makes his mark with Bursaspor, he'll be back in the big time....
On the subject of promising youngsters. What has happened to KWP ? With Aurier being a disappointment and after Kyle's MOM performance in the first game of the season why has he not been given more game time ? I feel sorry for the kid.
So do I, I think he's a better all round RB than Trippier already, but sitting pulling splinters out of his arse for a season will have sent him backwards - supposedly we've offered him a new deal that he's dragging his feet on - which suggests he/his agent sees his future elsewhere - the summer window will show us.
Can only assume he's dogshit in training because he's been great when selected, which can't be said of Aurier.
I think KWP is a victim of his own versatility. Ultimately, his best position is RB, not LB. He had a shocker (1st half) in the FA Cup away from home and got the hook at half time from memory.
Against Watford, I've play both him and Toby and revert to a back 3 with wing-backs. As I've said on other threads, I'm bored of complaining about the full-backs every week. Let's change it and let them play as wing-backs and start rolling over these sides. That's how we finished last season.
I'm pretty sure his contract ends 2020, not this June.
