I gave the final verdict on Edwards over a year ago. Might have been two years ago actually. Anyway, like Onomah, nobody listened. As ever I am vindicated by reality.

Thoughts on our lord and savior Olivier Skipp?
Let's just say yes and celebrate!Haven’t been up too much lately, is this guy a new signing?
I genuinely always thought Edwards had the air of a massive douche about him, right back from when Sherwood first named checked him all those years ago. He comes across as someone who was hugely gifted as a youngster and just kind of fell into football, without actually really loving it. Even if you go through his social media (I know not the be all and end all, but still) he always gave the impression he really didn't give a shit about Spurs or being a footballer in general. In that interview he did after the Gillingham game he just came across as an arrogant toss pot. All of this culminating in that abomination of a loan at Norwich, and really you'd have to question if he will make it at any level unless he drastically changes his mindset.
Onomah is a bit different, I think its more a case with him that he is proper Spurs and does care, but he was just massively overrated and far too much was expected of him.
Amos stuck out more for me too, Tbh. Really mature performance.
Both looking good though.
To keep your hands warm when you have to push it!
Good cars now though after VW took them over!
How do you increase their value by 100%?
Fill the tank up!
Another classic Baz!
What do you call a Skoda with twin exhausts?
A wheel barrow...
(sorry for the off topic nonsense all)
Let's not forget some of you guys have been jacking off over Edwards for the past two seasons, predicting he will make it into the squad, get minutes and some even stated become a regular. In that time he didn't make a single appearance.
Poch hasn't rushed youth into the Squad for quite a while. He might get some minutes in the cup matches, but just going off the way Poch does things, I'd be surprised if he was a regular in the squad.
Let's remember he's 17 and Poch could literally train him for the next 2 years and he'd still be one of the youngest people in the squad. He won't be rushed.

FYI - Marcus Edwards hasn't tweeted in a year and has a handful of instagram posts. So I'm not sure where you're getting that impression.
Both against Barca and Milan did Amos make blunders that could've cost us points (conceded after his mistake against Barca). He can look however good he wants otherwise, but as long as he's prone to such mistakes, he shouldn't and won't play in our midfield.
Tony Kroos imo. That guy loves arm movements
I know, hence why I said not the be all and end all. But even when you go back and he did tweet, very few Spurs related tweets, no tweet when he made his senior debut, doesn't even follow Spurs or any senior player at the club. Just all rather intriguing for a young up and coming player at the club.
Skipp, perfect utility player; who else could we rely on when Bruce falls down a mine shaft and breaks a leg?
I like him. Skilful, tidy in possession, and looks for the ball.
Needs to work on the physical side of the game but he's 17, that will come. Ease him in gently - hopefully some cup minutes for him this season.
