[Albion] Evan Ferguson

[chaileyjem]

In 6 PL appearances - he’s now scored as many goals as Jurgen Locadia did in 35.

 

[Machiavelli]

3 goals and 2 assists in 239 premier league minutes.

Surely he is now about to go on loan

Corrected for you

 

[Swansman]

In 6 PL appearances - he’s now scored as many goals as Jurgen Locadia did in 35.

But can he play eurotrance?

 

[veuve]

Looks absolute quality.

 

[Seagull27]

That header was extremely difficult - not able to get much power from that angle so had to be right in the corner. Anywhere else and the keeper is saving that easily. Superb.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Shhhhhh!!! Chelsea might be listening

£375 million, if you want him Todd

 

[Luke93]

Outstanding finish. Only 18 is scary.

 

[Whitechapel]

Honestly who’s talking about loaning Ferguson out? This lad looks premier league ready and he’s just getting started.

Who said he was being loaned out? I must have missed this?

It wasn’t that long ago people were talking about him going out on loan and it was ridiculous then. Was just trying to make a point about that, although admittedly I worded it horrendously so that wasn’t very clear.

 

[The Wizard]

Loved the way he barely even celebrated, shows you that winning mentality.

Yes the Albion certainly wanted to go on and win it. DeZerbi was frantic for them to not celebrate the goal but get the game going again. A positive attitude to have

 

[brighton_dave]

Such strength and awareness for such a young player. Off to transfer him into my FF team before his price goes up...

 

[chrisg]

Expect Chelsea to bid next week a nice low £5M offer next week to try and unsettle him.

 

[CaptainDaveUK]

Needs to start against Bournemouth.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Ferguson is scoring an EPL every 87 minutes. Haaland is every 68 minutes so still some work and development to do for young Evan yet.

 

[Munchkin]

Dare I say….. Reminds me of a young Harry Kane.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Needs to start against Bournemouth.

He probably will but I do think RDZ made the correct call starting Welbeck today.

We’re managing him well and rightly so, what a talent.

 

[andys320]

Really was a cracking goal today, very difficult to score from there, great technique.

 

[warmleyseagull]

Loved the way he barely even celebrated, shows you that winning mentality.

This. Picked ball out of net and charged to centre with a clear "we want the win" message; very mature. Stunning header; dont often see them go in from that distance.

 

[Vin]

Dare I say….. Reminds me of a young Harry Kane.

I was saying the same thing this morning. Always rated him and think he will be world class player. Amazing how we keep unearthing these gems.

It wasn't ridiculous then. After-timing and hindsight really aren't that clever. He was 17, and a promising youngster in the U21s - nobody would have been surprised or disappointed had he gone out on loan in the summer, and everybody would have been delighted if he had been tearing up League 1. Had he not grabbed his opportunity with both hands when given his chance in the first team, nobody would have been surprised or disappointed if he went out in January.
Now, to coin a phrase, it is what it is. If he carries on like he's started (unlike Connolly, who couldn't sustain his good start and should have been loaned out much sooner) we can all just enjoy having him here.
