Bit harsh. Brewitt has been pretty good this season.

The cynic in me wonders whether Edwards has just been stringing us along training with us to keep fit until a better offer comes in for him.
There comes a time when you either piss or get off the pot and I would suggest we start looking elsewhere, one would amuse that other OOC CB's who are looking for a club have not spent the last 3 months watching Homes Under the Hmmer and eating Doritos so get that net spread wide.
Like Mary Tyler-Moore who went to FGR? Of course you'd expect OOC players to be doing fitness work and keeping themselves in shape, but you'd imagine they would need a decent amount of time to get up to speed with the way we play, movement, on the field relationships etc. I imagine this takes longer at our level as the football intelligence probably isn't the greatest. |

Hearing Edwards has definitely fallen through.
For fuck sake.

Whilst it's clearly a frustration the amount of time it's taking to bring a CB in, the challenge with a free agent one, is that we have to know how close to being ready for first team action he is. I believe Edwards has been training with the team for some time now and we're willing to offer him a deal, but not at his terms.
Yes, there are other free agents available, but how fit are they etc etc? Flynn and the team have obviously done all their work on Edwards and are ready to go if the price is right. I suspect it's not as simple as going out and getting someone else straight away? Reading between the lines to me it sounds like we're playing budget chess and hoping he blinks. It's now the middle of September so surely he wants to be playing football sooner rather than later. I suspect he probably still signs, we'll see.
If he’s been training for a while and still not looking like he’s remotely interested in your terms - I’d get Kinsella to stick one on him…..that’ll teach him! |

Michael Flynn on free agents:
We had a player booked for a medical yesterday and everything was agreed, but he has changed his mind and decided to go abroad. We have more things on the go, but that was a kick in the teeth.
Michael Flynn on free agent demands:
I did expect them to go down after the window, but they are still asking for big money and some only want a League One club when none are in for them.

I know I’ve talked about this before but if you’re annoyed about missing out on Edwards then please just watch this on repeat.
He’s Number 12

A shame on Edwards but if he strung us along and didn’t have his heart in it here then better off using that money on other targets

Hearing Jamie Sendles-White and Sid Nelson are on the club's radar* * they aren't, clearly.  |

Personally I think Edwards may have been what we needed, experienced CB, captain of his old club, leader and very good in the air.
But.
He didnt want to come here so he can fuck off for all I care.
Next.

Exactly. Even if he did come here. His mind wasn’t 100% committed. I also wonder if he’s looked at our back 3 and thought he would have an easier deal in India in game time and work load. |
