Edwards is also 16?

Marcus Edwards is what? 15-16? Most kids grow at least a few centimetres more at that age so he could well end up at 170 something and he seems to have a fair bit of acceleration as well. It's too early to judge the physical attributes and talent a kid who's in the middle of his teen years.

At 16 I was 5ft6-5ft8 max, by 21 I was 6ft2, so growth at that age is varying.

He's 16, and please read my first post on him, that was also potted, where I identified that he was 16. What I'm saying is I hope he still has that major puberty growth spurt in him because statistically he is up against it in the PL otherwise. Look at Lennon for how you go at 5'5" if you lose your elite turn of pace.

And look at David Silva who is about the same height with not a lot of pace. He did quite well for himself I believe ;) In the end, it's too soon to say anything and even if he doesn't have a growth spurt he could still turn out to be absolutely world class. Not saying it's going to happen, just that the potential is there.

so edwards is short and has a reltively small cock for his age? im richer for this knowledge. although given his ethnicity, im in the still to be convinced camp. having played youth football in the area myself, showering afterwards wasnt exactly confidence building...

anyway i hope we pay up and he signs, otherwise this sends the completely wrong signal especially having invested in such a glorious training complex.
