It's not making excuses - I just think too many people here just have unrealistic expectations of him, and talented kids in general. With any wonderkid making waves in our academy I generally subscribe to the view that their chances of making it to the first team are around 5%, maybe with someone of Edwards talent, I'd have put it at 10% but nothing higher. History probably tells us that that's generous too.Have to agree with @Trix sentiments.
Seems far too many are prepared to make excuses or ignore his behaviour because he has a bit of talent.
Sorry, knuckle down, try and do all that is asked of you, maybe do more if you want it enough.
Whilst not sure about the recent comments suggesting his dad was constantly turning up at training and arguing, I would suggest that surely his dad would have. or should have certainly spoke to him about timekeeping.
Whilst not privvy you'd think Norwich would've mentioned it if it's reported in the press. ( yep...I know they ate often far from the trith. Gut instinct says not this time)
Shame to see such potential great talent go to waste.
