    Looks a proper prospect, replacement for Millar

    Apparently released a rap song to celebrate West Broms’ promotion. 

    I can see a collab here….

    23 former West Brom player here he started as a child.  Edwards was very highly thought of and was a Celtic target not long ago.

    Very quick and direct and plays on the wing.  Not too dissimilar to jaiyesimi.  Would be an entertaining pair of wingers though might compete to see who can turn their defender inside out the most times in a match.

    Was apparently recently on trial at Reading. Is also more of a winger than a striker 
    Makes sense in as much as Washington is a striker who can also play out wide, and DJ is a wide forward who can cut in. If we assume Stockley is the big target man, this makes sense

    Can cross the ball with both feet as well, something Millar really struggled with.

    Hoorah a rumour

    Also great to finally have a triallist, I'm still baffled why our 3 games so far have had no triallists, especially as the 1st team squad is stretched at the moment. Yes the academy players need games as well, but don't they normally have their own pre season matches?

    Decent player. Feels like more of a good rumour because we want it to be true, rather than the source it’s coming from being true, lol.

    maybe it's a Covid thing?

    In so much that we've got people with Covid so trialists didn't want to come here? Because almost every other club have had trialists in preseason so far

    I'm not aware of this player, but interesting that Robinson tried to convert him to a right-back. Doesn't sound too happy in the quotes!

    ed - Oh I've got that wrong, he joined Oxford as a right-back, and Robinson played him as an 8? I wonder where we're looking to play him then.

    Also reading that he's a penalty taker, which we need.

    Wow, both players look/sound decent. 

    But why are rumours appearing on *this* thread? I thought this was the argument thread?

    Came through our academy I think. Attacking player I think. Was impressed when I saw him play against us last season.

    Clare presumably one of the reasons Burton turned into a force second half of the season (and not being able to play against his parent club one of the reasons they got thrashed in the last game)

    For the purposes of excitement, I agree.

    Says as much on his Wiki page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Clare

    And here... https://www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/sport/sean-clare-gillingham-charlton-return-157705/

    Although going by the later am not sure if he decided to quit the Academy or whether we released him

    Played against us for Oxford at The Valley last season and then against us for Burton at The Valley when he joined them on loan

    Is he a holding midfielder or more of a box to box midfielder? I have no recollection of him from when we played Burton

    I think you were right first time round! He's a midfielder first

    However, Karl Robinson tried to switch him to right-back away from his natural midfield berth.

    Oh right... On the Oxford website it says he joined them as an attacking right-back, which is confusing.
