Player Watch: Marcus Edwards

[rossdapep]

All what Matt Law is saying is correct. Sometimes when we bang on about putting him on bench etc few months ago, you arenow aware why. Imho he is going the very wrong way.

Massive shame and sounds like another example of too much too soon.

 

[southlondonyiddo]

Sounds like another Ravel Morrison

Apparently an even worse attitude than Morrison!

 

[mill]

Has been banned from Tottenham for 10 days

Unbelievable behaviour

Sad really. Sounds like his dads a right prick which doesn’t help the lad!

Where’s that come from?

Says who? Ravel Morison had a history of getting involved with violence and thuggery. All I’ve heard about Edwards is that he’s a teenager who’s late a lot, much like myself when I used to sleep in and miss morning lectures at university.

 

[MattyP]

Lock him in a room with Harry and get H to tell how he had to toil to get to where he is.

If it doesn’t sink in after that it never will. And then give all career goals and assistance to Harry

Sauce

Can’t say anymore or I’d have to get the old nerve agent out

 

[Hengy1]

Lol like banning him from training is going to help the situation.

Wouldn’t it be best to get him in and sort the situation out.

No it's not, if you miss lectures that's your own look out, unless you drop below an attendance rate and get booted out of uni. If you're a young lad who sleeps in and misses your shift at work lots, you get sacked.

West Ham to offer £20,000,000?

Seeing as Morrison was involved in crime and got done for witness intimidation I highly doubt that.

 

[Cravenspurs]

So many examples of piss poor attitudes derailing careers. Basketball is full of them and sadly seems Marcus is really trying his hardest to not give a f#@!

One things for sure, if he doesnt make it he will only have himself to blame as he couldnt hope for a better set up in terms of Youth Development, mentoring and the promotion of young prospects.

I think this is a much more complex situation than some people may realise. Saw a very interesting telegraph piece tonight on him. They spoke about Edwards “ introverted personality” and how the Norwich squad took it the wrong way as if he was being aloof. I’ve a feeling this isn’t just a kid with a bad attitude. I obviously dont know for sure but with everything you read I think there’s a distinct possibility that he may have an actual condition that effects your behaviour as a teenager, that makes it difficult conforming or dealing with authority. I don’t wanna start throwing out labels, but as said he may have some issues he’s not 100% in control of. Tbh all this supposition about a kids mental state doesn’t feel right. And I feel just as guilty as any doing it here. But the point I’m trying to get across is that this may be a very complex situation. To on one hand have great ability on a basic level but not quite have the mental fortitude to deal with everything that brings is a difficult situation. At the end of the day if it’s meant to be it will happen. If it doesn’t it will be a terrible shame. But the most important thing is Marcus happiness and well being it’s only football after all.

I think Ryan Mason is the one.

"Look lad, in 7 years time you might be forced to retire. Make the most of the talent you have..." etc

Not impossible, but you'd expect that in this day and age it would've been picked up.

Who knows it may have been. Picking it up and dealing with it are two very different things. Didn’t really want to mention “the spectrum” but there I have. I’ve known cases of people in their 40s before they were diagnosed. It’s obviously impossible to make such a statement on snippets of info that we don’t even know are true. But some of the behaviour does seem quite classic.

U23 game Vs Chelsea on Friday, still need a win to avoid relegation. Interesting to see if he features.

This boy has been given a lot more rope than most because he has so much talent. Unfortunately talent will only take you so far in football.

Who’s said he hasn’t turned up for his shift? The Matt Hughes report states that he was persistently late, even if it was only a few minutes.

I had this problem at school a lot and even at work. No matter how hard I tried I was always late, something kept on coming up. I think it's to do with dyspraxia, it's difficult to organise yourself to get ready in the morning. If it's like this I think he may have a developmental disorder rather than a bad attitude.

Late for every single training session, fuck me
