[Albion] Evan Ferguson

There appear to be some, put kindly, ignorant comments, put harshly, quite dumb! To suggest Owen, Bale or Rooney all peaked at 18 beggars belief.

Surely City would be more likely to go for Liam Delap.

Exactly, and apparently they have a buy back option on him. That might not get clicks though.

To be fair, I think Owen did peak at France 98 and the subsequent season. Still had a glittering career and was a natural goal scorer, but he was never quite the same devastatinlgy quick player once he started getting those injuries.

Also appeared to be a prize knob if that soccer skills video is anything to go by.

Pep Guardiola sets his sights on one-goal striker for Man City | CaughtOffside
