Ridiculous thing to say. Clearly one of his biggest issues has been his introverted character and possibly some form of social anxiety. The kid obviously lives for football and has Spurs is the club he'd like to make it at but it's probably come to the point where he has to consider all options.

No, they don't have similar statures and body type. Bernardo is 2-3 inches taller than Edwards and at least a stone heavier. He is a good role model for Edwards though,

In both Transfermarket and on Wikipedia he is taller and heavier than both of them!!
Who is taller and heavier? Your statement needs clarifying. Bernado is 5' 8''. Edwards is 5'5''.
To put things into perspective, most of the England women players are bigger than Edwards.
Why is Edwards playing for Excelsior then? What's holding him back?
Bernardo is 4yrs older than Edwards. 4yrs ago Bernado was still playing for the B team (he made his ONLY first team appearance that year) what was “holding back” Bernado back then?
No, he was 21 when he went on loan to Monaco making 15 appearances (I think that's a good number). So Edwards with 14 appearances for Excelsior has had more Senior apps (15 in total) than Bernado and he's still 20!!
Your maths was better than mine for Silva’s birthday but that still shows Edwards having played one more Snr level football game than Silva before their 21st birthday. Career path isn’t that different is it?!?
So in summary he’s heavier, taller and has made 1 more Snr appearance than Bernado (at the same age in their career). If he can emulate the work rate shown by Bernado we will have a genuine world beater on our hands.

Drogba, Van Nistelrooy, Klose etc weren't even/ had barely started their professional careers at around 19-21.
This is the most damning thing for me, arrogance not a problem but to choose to stop in a training session is very bad.
Strange news considering this article Marcus Edwards outlines his future ambitions ahead of Spurs return
Made it seem like the kid finally grew up some

football.london understands that the 20-year-old forward is in pre-season training with Brentford as he attempts to earn a deal with the Championship club.
According to some, he's more worthy than Lamela.
It was not me.
I guess Pochettino hoped it might motivate him to live up to the hype. Clearly hasn’t turned out that way.
Having said that, I’m not sure how much you can gain from on-field performances when he’s playing for a shit team and surrounded by shit players, though of course he’s up against pretty shit players too. Spurs are probably way more interested in his attitude and professionalism.
