IMO, he just doesn't have the desire or attitude to play at the top. He seems more focused on his image and thats really it. Good luck to him, however.
that's the wrong vitoria.
The Pro Edwards people on here are crazy. Joining a second rate Portuguese side and 1700 minutes in a relegated Eredivisie Football Club are being spun as positives.
No criticism of him is allowed and it means despite all evidence to the contrary our Academy sucks.
The beauty of this is eventually, we will all find out if we were wrong to let him go.
He was seemingly available for pretty much every club this summer, and given the premium on English talent you’d have thought plenty of English clubs would have taken a look at him.
Perhaps they didn’t fancy the tribunal fee, which wouldn’t have been huge anyway.
Will be interesting to see how he goes out there
Agree the thread should be moved to General Football.he was still under contract so wouldn't have been a tribunal, we also have a 50% sell on clause with vitoria so maybe that appealed to us more than what english clubs were offering.
i watched the last 20 mins or so of their game today(marcus wasn't playing as still injured) but the quality definitely seemed higher than the dutch league. anyway, i think this thread should be moved to general football now seeing as he's no longer a spurs player, plus that way i can post about him without annoying people.
Interesting about the sell on clause - of course if he does come good then we can buy him back at half the going price!he was still under contract so wouldn't have been a tribunal, we also have a 50% sell on clause with vitoria so maybe that appealed to us more than what english clubs were offering.

But to be fair Kent has had a few very good seasons in the championship and SPL. Edwards made 1 appearance for Norwich and was by all accounts mediocre in the EredivisieWould be interesting to know a ballpark figure of what the Edwards fee might have been, given Liverpool seemingly selling Ryan Kent for £7m today. Who ever is responsible for arranging their outgoing transfers really is the best financial operator in the game currently IMO.
Edwards was repeatedly talked up as the most talented player we've had come through our ranks in a long time, so would be good to know how his sale stacks up against the money that our competitors are earning when they sell youth players who are deemed surplus to first team requirements.
Came off the bench today and nearly got his first goal,picked the ball up ouside the box run round two players then had a good shot that was going in bottom left hand corner but the keeper pulled off a good save.
I have started to watch the matches on my Paddypower account the problem with that is I will keep having a bet on him to score first or last goal, lucky for me today I only had £1.20p left in the accounti got you:
showed good tenacity to win the ball back a couple of times too.
