Diamond Edwards

[trousers]

Promoted to the pre-season first team squad.... probably worthy of his own thread....(?)..... the next big thing for us.... or another one to possibly follow Dibbling out of the door....? His current contract expires end of June next year....

Was he the one who scored against City in the league final? Looked a good player if it is him.

That was Doyle.

He was out for a long time with an injury but made a good run in the U18s and I think got some games for the B team too. Decent close control and scored a couple of goals last season. I think he would probably be playing either as an 8 in CM or as one of the 10s

Saw him at St Marys on a couple of occasions last season and looked very lively. Very fast and agile

He played in that game though? No? Number 7?

He did play, yes!

[Give it to Ron]

From memory was he the one who had bulked up a bit compared to his signing video?

He has got a bit more muscle on him compared to players like Doyle and Ballard but he is slightly older and also, quite often when players are out injured for a long time and can only do gym work they come back with a bit more bulk. Exceptions I can think of the top of my head Smallbone and Hesketh but generally.

I can’t get excited about our youth prospects if many are just walking out and joining other clubs.

[Toussaint]

He's always been a shining example, he's really hard, not a carbon copy of any of our other players, many facets to his game. I hope he can cut it at this level.  looks like a real jewel.

What about ones that walk out of other clubs and come to us?

Saints got Edwards (and many other academy players) from other clubs.

Saints do the same to others!

You forgot to mention that he's a diamond in the rough.

[Pilchards]

Yes I totally agree that these kids come to us from lower clubs and will move on.

Its just a shame as you watch a video of Dibling score a promising hat trick and the next thing he’s gone.

Diamonds are forever.

Surprised this hasnt been bumped yet, but I thought he looked very promising last night. Looks like he can be direct, good close control, pace. Fingers crossed.

Lets hope other clubs dont steal this jewel.

[Bakovnetski]

Out for the season with ACL injury poor lad.

[Holmes_and_Watson]

Wishing him a full and speedy, as possible, recovery.
