Hi Eds, just watched the Acadamy show - with lots on there about Sergi Canos. Just wondered if you have any insight or thoughts on him as a player? Is he deemed as a player that is believed can make it to and in the 1st team by the club? Do you think he's good enough?

He seems to really love the game and have a great attitude but I haven't seen much of him play.

{Ed001's Note - he was left at Brentford as it was felt to be a good loan for him and helping to develop him as a player. He is still very raw though, hit and miss, with more weaknesses than strengths to his game. He is a long way away from being ready for us right now, but he needs a chance in the first team to become ready. Opinion is divided on him, he has the potential, he needs to polish his game a lot and work on his game intelligence.}

Thanks Eds, appreciate your thoughts on him. We have so many talented youngsters don't we - just so hard to make that step up consistently.

{Ed001's Note - it is made more difficult than it should be due to an overly large squad. I expect that to be trimmed down in the summer, opening up the path for youngsters to progress.}

The Academy is cutting its numbers also Ed. Only the best lads will be kept, or recruited with the emphasis on Quality.

{Ed001's Note - it has already cut its numbers.}

I was chatting to one of the Brentford players on Saturday night about Canos. He said that the lad has bags of ability and is a really nice guy with it, and would love to see him back at Brentford next season (although doesn't think he will be) . From what I've seen of him and heard from Brentford fans, Eds summary sounds about right the ablity is there, but will it be enough to break through?
