yes lol. bennetts is a fair bit taller/more built and is with the u18s.
OK, cheers, I just thought Edwards was way smaller than he looks in the video, that's why I was unsure, face looked like Keenan aswell lol. Thanks for clearing up.

I asked a mate if he knew anything about Edwards (fuck you, I have mates :eek:). This was his response, is it fair enough?

Mate, he's been phenomenal by all accounts. He's been touted as influential as the likes of Messi & Ronaldo... Now whether he's that good already or he's just way beyond his age groups skill set, is still to be proven. However, Barca have been keen, as have Utd & City, I think even PSG were interested.

Now the greatest thing about us keeping him, is he's yet another to make it from Youth (8yrs old), now into the the 1st Team.

Personally think he is similar to Maradona than Messi, with the exuberance of Pele...;)

Tax dodging, greedy, always moaning at team mates etc...?

Pro contract signed! Officially a Yid!
This is the best news I've heard all week. Signing of the summer, actually. Widely regarded as the most talented youth prospect in a while, linked to just about every single big club in Europe and he is ours. Happy days!

I hope the club announces this one and he's been promoted full time into the first team. I cant wait to see this kid play. Sincerely hope he plays with our first team this season.

sounds like he's just telling you what he's read, rather than seen himself.

it's not that his skill set is beyond the age groups he plays in, it's beyond most players at any level but he's still just a kid so should be treated as such. hopefully our fans are sensible enough not to expect the finished article at 17.

Sounds like good news if we have a player at 17 good enough to break into the first team!. Let's hope he is handled carefully

Very much this. No need to make a song and dance about it, just let him find his way in to the first team if he's good enough.

Bobby from FTL who I think knows the family has said Edwards rep asked and was given assurances of first team action this season. They are speculating it will be League Cup games etc.

He'll probably be handled like Mason. If he impresses in pre season, he'll play alot. If he impresses in his game action, he could very well find himself in the starting XI in a league game.
