Bale and Owen 'fell off' ?!

[Albion] Evan Ferguson

Frances Jeffers at Everton. Fred Macheda and Adnan Januzaj at Man Itd. I think there are loads.

If he’s happy and the club are happy to continue developing him and giving him occasional game time then so am I. Currently though he is very poor. Who knows, if we start playing well again and giving him minutes at the end of games we are winning his confidence may come back. Relying on him to kick start a struggling forward line is a bit of a risk for him and the club imo.

Owen won the Bal 'on dor, went to Madrid and was never that same world class player.Bale and Owen 'fell off' ?!
Didn’t macheda basically score one good goal early in his career and then do nothing? That was media getting excited about someone rather than someone who had a great season as 18 or 19 year old.

The guy has started two Prem games for us this season. These weren’t consecutive. Anyone that’s ever played football to any level knows you can’t get in a rhythm with that.
But you keep digging.
Although I’d much prefer he was scoring every week with the 20 minutes he gets, of course. As I’m sure we all would. It’s just not realistic.

If he was from Sussex he would be getting all the time & patience in the world to rediscover his form.
March was what 29 before he had a reasonable season as a winger.

Ferguson will be going nowhere in Jan if Welbeck is missing for the foreseeable future (which seems to be the case

The way Evan is playing now reminds me of watching Gyökeres a few years ago.... give it time.

Sure but that was eight years after his debut for Liverpool

Whilst I agree with the principle of what you’re saying re Ferguson, that’s harsh on March. He was excellent at times as the alternative to Knockaert, then spent a lot of time on the left where he was more one dimensional, or at LWB, where he had to focus much more on the defensive side of things.
The key with him is that he played in his best position under RDZ for the first time consistently in his career, as a first choice, and suddenly he showed how good he could be. Not that shocking given the context.

RDZ instilled confidence into Solly. It was quite the bromance. And - penalty taking aside - it paid massive dividends. Will be interesting to see if new guy can do the same, or even wants to invest the time in trying to do so

Makes sense. A season in the Championship would probably be very good for his long-term development.

Pep Guardiola needs to find solutions to Man City’s woeful form of late, and one of those might be, surprisingly, to sign striker, Evan Ferguson, from Brighton and Hove Albion. The 20-year-old has seemingly fallen out of favour under Fabian Hurzeler, and the lack of confidence which comes as a...

The problem is Rodri, the best player in the world and absolutely crucial to their play, got a serious injury…

Rashford is on 300K a week, so I would be VERY surprised if a swap deal like that happened. Reality aside, he’s a player I’d love to see in the stripes.

I'd argue that the problem was far more to do with KDB not being available in the starting line-up until fairly recently = limited quality service through to Haaland
