Edwards signed
mate I know from a very reliable source that we did everything in our power to keep Edwards , he was promised things, that we as a club were not ready to give him, but basically forced to, or loose him . We GAVE IN . Where did it get him ? It proves he was not ready . Do you honestly think he was ready last year for first team football whether it was physically or mentally , he was not ready . Now you are seeing a similar situation with Griffiths , physically he may be ready but mentally he is not . Before you say he is , just going by all his social media rubbish shows he is immature . The minute he does not get picked or does not go his way , he’s off to a club who’s promising him this and that . This is not the first time tottenham have had problems with him , surely you can see that ? I have no doubt that we will give in to him and his agent . Rightly or wrongly time will tell .
Both these players are talented but what you need to realise is it’s so easy to get carried away in the glamorous life of a footballer . That is when you need good advice .
I hope both go on to prove me wrong , but as it stands unless they change their mentality it’s going to be bloody hard !
Has Edwards done anything remotely as fucking idiotic, crass and out of order as Rose did in a national newspaper?
Jesus, is all this fucking hoo ha about Griffiths re-tweeting about Barca being interested in him? Fuck me, if I was 17 I'd want all my mates to see it. Jesus wept, all these kids now live their lives like this. I don't like it, but lets keep some perspective, and remember they are still just kids, kids fuck up, all the time. I know I did.
And, on ability and mentality, Edwards was ready to play first team football minutes and cup games etc over a year ago. He might also be a chippy little ****, who isn't quite conforming to the behavioural blue print but he hasn't posted a video saying that his manager is a faggot who sucks Ibra's dick, or been nicked for assaulting someone, like one of the player's we were happy to buy last summer for 25m.
Of course any player with us needs to show respect and work hard, and not be a tw*t. But lets not pretend that being a tw*t is confined to the kids in our set up.
