I thought I read it in the Sentinel a few weeks ago. Unless I'm seeing things again, which is always a possibility. I saw that some interest from Premier league was being mooted and that he'd rejected a loan move to Blackburn. Right you are. Interesting he turned down a move to Blackburn. Wonder if that was linked to any move for one of their players?

Wonder if that was linked to any move for one of their players? Have Blackburn got any decent players? Living where I do I know a few Blackburn fans and there are very few that have too many good things to say about their players. The total has definitely been better than sum of the parts. They appear a pretty dour, uninspiring group to watch by all accounts.

They have a NI international midfielder and a midfielder in Joe Rothwell who the manager has already name checked in an interview last season.

I know someone at Leeds academy and we have talked in the past about how players can have a negative influence on young players.
Edwards had the influences of our relegation squad as role models.
So I am not surprised Edwards has not progressed as he should have done.

I won't be too sad to see Edwards leave on a permanent deal. If he stays just to pick up his wage packet he really is a player without ambition. MON will stay for a long time and he doesn't rate Edwards, as simple as that

It's a shame because he looked like he could be the real deal. Maybe it's still in there somewhere but the damage looks to be done with Oneill.
Sad but that's football.

Unfortunately he was never good enough he showed promise but it failed to materialise. For me he lacks pace and is not as good at defending as some seem to think he is.

"Something stinks about Afobe though." Meaning? The deal? The way MoN treated him? Onlooker alluded to it. MON couldn’t have been more glowing about him and then two weeks later he’s gone. Just stinks of the board going over his head? No idea if they have and I hadn’t even thought of it until he said something. But it is bloody odd. Very straightforward business and don’t forget MON has a business background, he gets football finance better than almost any other manager. Afobe is an expensive asset and so if MON can get him to perform it would be great all round. Talks him up and gives him starts but it is clear he is way off the pace. Decided to get him a move,Afobe appears to react to this on Twitter, and Stoke move to sign Brown with the money freed up. I would estimate the loan and wages cover a year of Brown’s wages plus the amortisation of his transfer fee. Simple

The fact he's even playing Smith in the shadow League Cup team and just giving him minutes in the u23s seems to say it all. As with Butland and Ince, he seems to be signalling to them pretty hard they're not wanted.

Your obsessed, give it a rest. He’s in the first team, is currently a better option than Edwards, the Manager thinks so and knows more than you, just get over it. You give absolutely no credit to Smith, even if he has a good game, so just says to me you don’t like him as a person not as a footballer. Any player who makes it to this level, is not exactly ‘shit’. How on earth would I know him as a 'person' A £4M full back in this division should be the real deal, not half a job. The most accurate crosser in the league and Captain now too 👍 Hopefully we can get through this window without having to entertain any 8 figure bids 😉

It's pretty obvious now that MON would rather play a dustbin at RB than pick Edwards again. Whatever's gone on behind the scenes, his goose has been well and truly cooked.
Smith's about as average as it gets, but we could really do with him not getting injured now otherwise there's going to be some square-peg-round-hole action straight out of the TP playbook!

We clearly need to buy another right sided defender now it's clear that Edwards has zero future at the club.
Smith has been half decent in the last two cup games but pretty poor in both league games. Either way, he's not going play 50 games this season and desperately needs some real competition

I thought we were buying brown for competition for wing/wingback (his best position according to Barnsley fans) but it looks like he'll be used up top.
So If we are getting rid of Edwards we need another wingback in. Doesn't make much sense but obviously somethings gone on.

Yeah - RWB is looking like quite a big hole in the squad now. If anything happened to Smith, hard to know what we'd do.
Because Pottermus is in front of Bauer and Edwards in MON's pecking order and he seems to view Brown as mainly a striker

Edwards future? Bleak. The Kieron Freeman rumours definitely make sense, but Edwards and Bauer need to go first, you'd think.

Edwards is a good player,or at least he looked like he was going to be a good player.
Absolutely critical that the manager shows little tolerance of unacceptable off the field behaviour. Look at the damage Hughes tolerance of arsehole behaviour from several players has done.
Edwards exclusion shows everyone else that you have to be professional or you don't play.
Ideally Tom goes on loan as far away from his mates in Stafford as possible and grows up and comes back next summer with a clean slate.
That does leave us a right back short.

With Brown now given a shot a right wing back in the cup, you’d have to think that only an injury crisis would bring Edwards back into the picture.

The dislike and calls for Tom Edwards to be “fucked off” and “written off” and not deemed good enough remind me of the calls for Harry Souttar and Josh Tymon to be “fucked off” and “written off” as not deemed good enough right up until a few months ago ....if only the club had listened to the oatcake oracles
Fickle fuckers

Or a very congested fixture list?- a loan for Tom would give him lots of match experience as well as a test of his character
