Totally agree although these is also some element of choice. At school (many, many years ago) I had a choice of French, German, Spanish and possibly Italian too - probably the four main European languages, apart from English. Most people will probably choose one language but which one is most useful?
I'm in no way certain but I'm pretty sure that in other European countries, it's pretty much a no-brainer that you learn English.

The british empire may have had something to do with it aswell.
These are the countries that first language is english.

If you can speak English, Spanish and Mandarin, you've got most of the globe cracked. So it I read somewhere!

Poch always ready to give youngsters a chance, looks like Marcus has not developed as hoped.

The fact that one of the most talented & highly anticipated youth players to come through our academy, only made one first team appearance in 3 years, is so dissapointing.
The club has to have a look at it's development of young creative players. What are they not doing to be so overlooked? It can't just be willingness to press, because players can & will learn this with age.

The Europa League group games against Woolwich will be perfect opportunities for him to prove us wrong.

If Edwards is to be a star of the future surely a much larger club than Vitoria would have come in for him , e.g Sancho picked up by Dortmund from Man City. All the larger clubs have extensive scouting systems I'm sure Edwards must have been watched and failed to impress.
PS Now see that he had a trial with Brentford and was considered not good enough , think that probably sums it up.

All this speculation and guesswork about how we handled him and how his mind works is completely avoiding the fact that he just isn't that good. Its easy to look exciting playing 17 year olds when you are quick and have fast feet but as we saw when you don't add anything to that and go up against grown men you get caught out and shown up, and thats exactly what happened last year in a division that at times is about League One quality.

He should take a look at Ravel Morrison’s career....

He's nowhere near Morrison territory.

He might not have the same type of hangers on / crowd as Ravel but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him with the same career trajectory.
He doesn’t have the talent Morrison had either.
Always excuses as to why we didn’t make the best of his talent...oh, it wasn’t just us though, it was every club he went on loan too as well.
I wish him well of course but the one common theme is teams not wanting to give him games. It can’t always be everyone else’s fault

There are a lot of hyped youngsters with weird careers, but Morrison buried himself because he's a massive idiot.
