I think its pathetic that you think that those who dare to criticize Dier is basing it on one preseason gameHow pathetic, one preseason poor game from dier and it's "god forbids"he plays now

While I agree with both of your overriding points, since when was Chadli not at least a qualified success? He came in at a low price and, despite in large not being a first choice, managed to both score and assist goals with some regularity, provide a fair bit of flair and play more than his part as support act to the emergence of Kane as a top class player. Ginola or Bale he might not have been, but he deserves far better than being tarnished with the same brust as the likes of Paulinho and N'Jie who were unmitigated failures with us.
Its easy to point to the failures and state that the kids would do as good a job. But there is no Chairman in the world who could buy Eriksen but not Chadli, Dier but not Paulinho, Dele but not N'Jie etc. You have to take the rough with the smooth.

Miller 10. Good write up https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnati...am-hotspur-prospect-rankings-2017-will-miller
Anyone who has read my posts knows I rated him really highly at u18s, he's been very unfortunate, should play at at least Champsionship in the future

Reading this, I get the impression that they saw the clip of him running from CB and scoring and translating it to he used to be a CB. Though IIRC I did see him play more than one game at the back at u16s, he wasn't a CB.
And he did play for Cyprus there were highlights posted
I am still a bit bemused as to why Georgiou was out there yesterday rather than Edwards.
My predictions:
5. Tashan Oakley-Boothe
4. Kazaiah Sterling
3. Josh Onomah
2. Marcus Edwards
1. Kyle Walker-Peters
Because Edwards is too small and isn't physically ready yet
He will grow another spurt of 2 inchestoo small in terms of what, height? if that's the case then he'll never be involved as he's not going to grow anymore now. that's not the reason he wasn't there though, he was still on the last few days of his break.
maybe, i'm surprised they have sterling this high though(assuming they haven't left him out completely). for what it's worth my top five would be -
5. cameron carter-vickers
4. tashan oakley-boothe
3. kyle walker-peters
2. josh onomah
1. marcus edwards
i'd have whiteman and tanganga in my top 10 too, though they were only part of the "honourable mentions" list. others not even mentioned whatsoever like eyoma, tsaroulla and skipp would be up there as well.

Need to figure out the "training" regimen that Messi used to overcome his size...Because Edwards is too small and isn't physically ready yet

Growth hormones with special dispensation from FIFA, I believe - he had a diagnosed medical condition causing his extremely small size as an adolescent.
According to at least one source he was diagnosed two years before joining Barca and wasn't expected to even grow to 5 foot tall without treatment. Barca are more than capable of playing dodgy but I think this case is probably genuine and not really comparable to Edwards who's just small.Wonder if that condition would have been "diagnosed" if barca weren't involved.

Also, Messi was always going to reach his current height even without the treatment, it would have just not happened in time for him to make it as a footballer.According to at least one source he was diagnosed two years before joining Barca and wasn't expected to even grow to 5 foot tall without treatment.
