exciting young prospect that no one has heard of
But if he gets loaned, Poch will sell him. :chadliwtf:I refuse to believe this is the performance that made everyone on my Twitter lose their minds. Way to add unnecessary hype onto a young player's shoulders people.
Looks like he needs a loan move or two.
Depends on the hypeOxymoron.
How can a player be exciting if he's completely unknown?

Can we lower the hype by changing the op name to Marcus Edwards- Damien Duff with a peroxide mullet-fro
No, we need to hype him up. The thread should be called something like:
Pele+Maradonna+Beckenbauer+Cryuf+Puskas+Ronaldo+Di Stefano+Keegan = >Marcus Edwards
And that still playing down the hype too, because Marcus Edwards is just that good. Marcus Edwards will be the greatest footballer the world has ever seen.
#ITKStrange they didn't tag Marcus Edwards in the tweet.
I think people need to be a bit more grounded to be honest. In that clip his pass completion/lose possession ratio is roughly 50/50, in 45 minutes over the two games he scored no goals, made no assists and created no clear goal chances for others which are the markers most people use when describing "fantastic" performances. Not slagging him off for a second but it doesn't really stand up to the New Messi hype that some (not here, elsewhere on social media I mean) are throwing at him. Some suggesting for example we dont need to sign N'koudou or anyone else for that matter, Edwards is the answer to all our prayers and so on
There's no doubt he's a promising young talent, but he's still 17, still looks like a teenage lad as opposed to a man. I doubt he'll make 10 league appearances next season
