It's been a bit dispiriting (as an Albion fan) watching Delap in the PL this season, as he is pretty much everything I want Ferguson to be (and Evan most certainly isn't, at this moment in time at least). Of course, Delap is 20 months older and has more league experience so it probably isn't an entirely fair comparison. I still have high(ish) hopes for Ferguson but he hasn't yet had the impact this season I would have wanted.
Yes - I remember him chasing down all sorts of half chances and going in on the defenders when they were dawdling a little - scared them witless, and we got a few goals after his harassing of the defence. That all seems to have vanished rather.
Liam Delap has been considered a world class prospect since his England U21 days. Sure, City gave up on him because he's struggled in his loan spells, but at least reaching PL level has been no doubt imho.
I disagree, I don’t think having Ferguson on the pitch does us any good at all at the moment. In fact it does us harm as we’re effectively down to 10 men when he’s on. He’s miles off it.
Agree Just like Connelly score 2/3 goals early in PL. Club than protects investment by giving a big contract in case the next star and than just hope. He may well put good % of chances away but he has to earn them by good movement and ability to retain the ball. Neither is he able to achieve. No good forward runs in box always with back to goal and waste of time hitting long balls to him because does not have the ability or strength to retain By this time in his career should be making such an impression in sub appearances that manager considering resting Welbeck for a couple of games He is still young but with lack of improvement not looking good. As manager often says its not only goals but what you do off the ball.
When Harry Kane was Ferguson’s age he was preparing to head to Norwich and sit on the bench in the champo.
You haven't mentioned Fat Frank's Coventry.
Pointless move for him. He'd still be on the bench there, until Chris Wood retires!
Rumours seemingly started by Football Insider - whose research is so good they haven't even realised that he can't be loaned to Leicester (unless Buonanotte's loan is cancelled, which ain't gonna happen!)
