Why would we be interested in a winger from Crawley - A league 2 club, we are no longer in that division. We need to be looking at wingers from Coventry, Gillingham, Oldham etc surely if we want to progress.

So there are no good players below League One? I suppose if Jay Simpson became available, you wouldn't want to sign him because he's from a League Two club?

Remember when Leicester signed Jamie Vardy and Brentford signed Andre Gray? What were they thinking?

According to a Crawley fan on thefootballforum, Charlton and us are in for their right footed winger who plays on the left, Gwion Edwards. He's Welsh so seems a good link to me....
The fan also said that he'd be easily good enough for league one.
Gwion Edwards is a decent player, I'd be very happy with us signing him as he's an upgrade on Adams imo.

I can't decide if this is a wind up or not.

Gwion Edwards will have played for the Wales U21, who are / were coached by a Mr R Page, so i guess he might know a bit about him.

Didn't realize Page had coached Wales. When was this?

Sounds like he'd be good if we could get him, apparently Charlton and MK are interested who both would blow us out of the water in terms of wages.

Not everything comes down to money does it? ...no... wait, this is football in 2016 we are discussing isn't it!

Should imagine that might have gained you full entry to the exclusive "one liner" club.

Gwion Edwards, Crawley's number 7 - I spent a lot of time watching this guy against us back in April during our game (we'd won the title by then!). He scored a great free-kick, but this was the ONLY thing IMO he excelled at. Was very surprised to learn he is a Welsh U-21 international, didn't look like he could be bothered.
Firstly, defensively he did not want to know. Holmes and Lelan were running rings round him down that side, only through the complete lack of effort Edwards showed to help his team mates. Seriously poor, it was like he'd never played football before at times. Going forward is a bit harder to dissect as Crawley offered nothing. We certainly didn't get troubled by him, though hard to tell when in a poor side. Remember his touch looked half decent.
If we were to even think about looking at him, his effort levels have to rise by 200%, as the way we play relies on that. Plus we see how the likes of similar current wide players put the effort in both ways, supporters appreciate that after seeing how far effort gets us.

Interesting comments which are hard not to disagree with! Having seen GE at the Crawley(a) game which their programme lauded him as a match winner; Sids comments are pretty accurate.

Still under contract for another year so if it's between us, MK & Charlton can't see us competing/getting involved in a bidding war...
