one Reading fans view of things under thread " clear out started" "Edwards never performed to his potential/fans expectation but how much of that was down to him and how much down to not being properly used we’ll never really know." Edwards is one of 8 reading players either sent out on loan or released many view Edwards as a player who failed to make an impact at Reading and clearing out the dead wood according to the marvels of google 3 goals in 32 appearances 2017 to 2019 my concerns are is fully fit and even if he is 32 appearance out of minimum of 72 games( just the league) would suggests he is going to be a bit rusty many fans on B & A seem to be getting misty eyed at his return so Heart; i am pleased to see him back at town, considering the rumours that he hopes to get into coaching you could see this two year contract as him winding up his career and stepping in to some sort of backroom position in the club ? Head injury prone 32 year old player that a club paid a million pounds for in 2017 and now seem glad to unload him he may have passed a medical but so did loft, does he still have the legs? playing under half the games since 2017 and that does not include any cup games would suggest he is going to be rusty. as much as Edwards may like town i would think he will be one of the highest paid players in our squad, i am not aware of any club wanting him. rickets talked of thinning the squad to pay for new players, what we really need is a keeper, left back, and a forward you would hope Edwards will bring a calming head in to the midfield and he will bring a lot of experience so what do fans on this forum think , good, bad or indifferent ? heart or head ?
Edwards has achieved a lot and he has remained very loyal to shrewsbury and there is no doubt he has been a very talented player. i fully understand why fans are so happy about his return and i do hope it works out for him and the town. only time will tell if it does or not Reding paid a million pounds for him in December 2017 and if there fans forum is to be believed he has been released by mutual agreement, for me that rings a bell in my head.and i feel like i am the only one wondering if this is a great idea
It might work out really well but I do hope we haven't blown a chunk of budget on a player that might not play much due to injury.
that is my concern ,you would imagine he is going to be towns highest wages so i hope that does not prevent us signing a forward and other players we need.
Looks like he will play behind the strikers at the front of the diamond. Could be a good addition as he can always pop up with a goal. with his 40 odd caps for Wales surely become the most capped international we have ever had who is playing for us (I know Hart has more but of course he was not capped at senior level until a few years after he left us). As everyone says fitness will be the key but I have an optimistic feeling about this one. I see some of the fringe players are leaving but we desperately need one or two strikers otherwise we will get sucked into a relegation battle.
if he does play at the tip of the diamond were will Docherty play? he did used to have a good long range shoot but he is not a prolific goal score one goal per ten games.the one thing he should bring in to the team is an experienced head , fitness/stamina and injuries are the issues for me
