[American Seagle]

Looking forward to his development!

I've a sneaky feeling this lad is going to be a absolute goal machine in the not too distant future,I'd get his contract extended for as long as possible,perhaps I'm over hyping him for my own personal inkling but there's definitely something special about Ferguson. I may even tweet it to my 9 followers

Hopefully for 3 different clubs, in 3 different divisions, over the next 3 seasons.

Before returning to the Albion having actually learned his trade.

First half hat trick for Evan today in PL2.

 

[brighton_tom]

Just catching up on the u21s highlights from their Leicester game. Really decent hat trick from Evan Ferguson, 3 very nice finishes. & when he has made brief appearances for the mens team he also seems fine with the physical side of the game. At 17 we need to tread carefully with his development and not rush things, but obviously lots of potential there. Maybe he would have got a loan this year had we brought in another striker. Hopefully he can start that loan journey soon, like Ben White did, and ascend through the leagues.

Great hat trick, and unlucky with a couple of others. The take and turn for the chance saved by the keeper's boot at 2-1, is top class.

Looks a real talent.

It was a brilliant hat trick. The commentator said his third goal was the pick of the bunch but I would say his second was, that was a wonderful clinical finish. He put it in about only place he could have scored from there.

As you say, a special talent.

Been wondering what the plan for him is.

Will he go on loan, or not?

And will the plan change with the new management coming in?

Feel it's important we do our best at getting this one right, after (arguably) misjudging Connolly's development.

He's still only 17, keep him in the u23s for now.

Exactly. He is already regularly involved with the first team on match days. Well, at least he was under Potter. Can't see that changing much.

 

[nwgull]

Can you loan out a player before his 18th?

Anyway, one to be patient with. Connolly scored for fun in the U23s but wasn't able to make the huge step up in one go, so hopefully lessons will have been learned.

I'd love to see him get some minutes off the bench occasionally. He certainly doesn't look too far off looking at his performances in the cups. My worry with loaning him is that he'll attract a big offer before he ever really gets to do his stuff in our first team.

Interesting watching him at FGR in the cup game as not seen much of him live before. Big and powerful, especially for 17. Will need regular game time so almost certain to go out on loan I would think - maybe he hasn’t as yet due to lack of Welbeck-type cover in the squad

 

[brighton_tom]

This season with the u21s, next season a League Two loan I would assume.

I've just caught up with the Leicester highlights and he is in a different League to the others at U21 level. He is big and powerful but seems to have a hunger and ability to score which , without wanting to talk him up too much, puts me in mind of Harry Kane.

He might just be the exception that proves the rule, and he could make the transition into the first team as a teenager. If Welbeck was to be out of the team for whatever reason, he looks the player most likely to fulfil his role and allow us to play in the same style. The new head coach will have the say, of course.

Agreed…….suspect he’s on the cusp of ready/not quite ready. Needs carefully managing……

 

[Jesus Gul]

They'll be calling him Erling Ferguson before long. Star in the making.

 

[Lethargic]

So off to Chelsea then?
