Yeah but he's not at university. I was working for min wage at 18 and would have got sacked for turning up late every day. And my job wasnt fun

He'll learn but it might take time.I think one issue with Edwards is he has never had to put anything extra in at youth levels. Even with minimum effort he has still been stand out. He's now at an age though where he's competing with hardworking players of all ages, most of which have had to put the graft in and have masses of experience on top. Neither players or managers at senior level will put up a player not doing their share of hard work no matter how much ability they have.
Sure but generally in life you abide the rules of youre employer if you want to have a job unless youre self employed, even if youre shit in the mornings (which i was) you need to make the effortEveryone is different mate.
If he doesn't he'll be a Championship player on 20k a week for the rest of his career.

I mean, not necessarily. If you had some kind of condition that meant you were late for work on occasion - be that a physical disability that sometimes delayed you getting ready or using transport, a mental illness, or a development disorder impacting organisation like dyspraxia - the law literally says that the rules have to be adapted if reasonably possible to account for that. Now odds are we're just dealing with a dickhead here, but if there were to be something behind the scenes such as depression or aspergers that may be causing some of the issues we're not just well-advised but legally obliged to give him every chance to succeed despite that - and I think we have more incentive than most businesses to take that obligation seriously. If that were the case we obviously wouldn't be privy to it as fans.Don't see your point?. The rules are the same for everyone.
If the bit in Matt Law's article about him not turning up on time for a single training session is true, then that's a fucking disgrace. No wonder they wanted rid. What the actual fuck
@Breezer who knows Edwards family has confirmed everything in Matt Law's article is true.doesn't totally add up though as farke had been pretty positive about him recently saying how much he'd improved and how close he was to the first team, plus he was beginning to break into their match day squads and finally made his debut a few weeks back. if he really was late for every single training session/team meeting then surely farke wouldn't have given him the time of day, maybe it was true to begin with and he made a bad initial impression but i find it difficult to believe that it was the case for the entire time he was there.
And more than TRUE!!!
Stop finding excuses peeps. Kid is an absolute prick to himself, and his family not happy with him. Enough said on that now.
A very long way for even that to happen. Trust me on that?If his family are in agreement with the club then there’s a chance things can be turned around. At 17-19 most kids do the self destruct rebellion stage and come out of it, his being a stroppy attitudey teenager, the problem is his in the lime light has a tonne of cash and insane ability. His been told his a world star since he was little, football comes very easily, so his never had to work as hard as others. suddenly his hit 18/19 and has to adapt, grow up, become a professional it must be a shock.
Let’s hope he gets though this to become a spurs legend.
When?@Breezer who knows Edwards family has confirmed everything in Matt Law's article is true.
I’m also dyspraxic. I do some dumb shit. Nothing else to add.Speaking as someone with dyspraxia, there is no way Edwards suffers from this if he’s as talented and skilful as they say. Amongst the most common and predominant symptoms of dyspraxia are a complete lack of coordination, balance and spatial awareness, which makes controlling a football at pace difficult at even a ‘kickabout with mates’ level, never mind at premier league academy level.
Edwards it seems is a spoilt brat who doesn’t appreciate the fortunate position he’s in. I hope he matures and turns it around but the signs aren’t good.
