Just saw Wealdstone won 7-0 tonight so thought I’d check in to see how EBD was doing, turns out he’s returned from his loan after 6 appearances, was this ever announced? His demise is baffling even Taylor Richard’s is kicking it (and scoring) in league 2. |  |

Arsenal and Liverpool academies, Liverpool contract and some cup appearances, FA Youth Cup Winner and England U16 captain.
Very good background but he's just one of many, whose developments stalls and they can't bridge the gap to become a first team player. | | | |

At 25 years old, he's older than Kwame Poku, Koki Saito, Harvey Vale, Richard Kone, Jon Varane, Ronnie Edwards, Amadou Mbengue, Rayan Kolli, Kady Dembele. He's a full 6 years older than Esquerdinha, Daniel Bennie, Kieran Morgan. While I am a firm believer that players develop at different rates, he's just played so little football compared to all of these guys and his development has been properly ruined for it. It's not too late, he could play a whole lot of National League, become an alright player in L2. But, we won't see him again certainly. |  |

Didn't Warburton play him a bit at QPR, or have I hallucinated that?
EDIT*
I checked, sub appearance before, but full debut was under Marti
Unfortunately, he's going to be one of those players who looks ok in the Champ (but not really good enough), but can't cope in the lower leagues.
Feel sorry for the lad, he should have been loaned out earlier in his career, so that by the time he was Morgans age he had his 20+ professional apps [Post edited 1 Apr 17:28]

He came after Warbs, was signed by Mick Beale who apparently knew him from the Liverpool academy and didn't play him once

Makes sense, I don't think Warbs played many of the DS, apart from Eze, which was one of the reasons he clashed with Les wasn't it? | | | |
