[Albion] Evan Ferguson

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

I hear this a lot.

Is the only reason you're thinking this because they are both Irish? We have lots of young attacking players. All of them have their own personalities

Nothing to do with being Irish. If when I was 18, I’d just scored two goals in two PL games and received an unhealthy injection of cash I’d be off the rails faster than the speed of light.

Just saying I hope he’s got a better head on his shoulders than I would have and some sound people around him to keep him somewhat grounded.

I get the feeling Aaron didn’t.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Praying that he doesn’t come down with Connolly-syndrome.

Listening to him being interviewed on radio Sussex, he is seemingly very, very different to young Aaron. He comes across as smart, calm, intelligent and mature. He‘ll surely be a star.

The youngest player to score in consecutive Premier League appearances since Federico Macheda. Which says a lot about not getting too carried away with youngsters when they first burst on to the scene. Bound to be ups and downs ahead, but he looks like he's got a big future.

SSSsshhhhh !

Under the radar

Exactly, think he looks really good. And I think the best thing that could happen for young Ferg's career is if Welbz is fit to start the next few games

He strikes me as more sensible and professional than Connolly.

 

[Munchkin]

I’m pretty sure the club have learnt quite a lot in the past couple of years with issues around Bissouma and Connolly outside of football.

With that in mind I’m certain the club will have a protective arm around young Evan Ferguson.

 

[Flagship]

Sensible haircut too.

 

[Hugo Rune]

This guy will surely implode if we sign Rooney Bhaji and he turns out to be another star!

Even with the Dunk / Cook / Rodgers incident a lot was put into young player education but like a lot of young lads they have their ‘moments’ but hope he has a good support network around him and the club look out for him

 

[The Fits]

I say this with slight trepidation but he just looks so at home. So comfortable. So strong.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Let’s not shit ourselves with him just because of Connolly. If he’s good enough and mentally sound behind the scenes - get him out there. I don’t remember Rooney needing mothercare as a 17 year old let alone 18…

Agree, Connolly’s issues can’t be attributed to age alone. Attitude seems to be the educated guess , no smoke without fire.

I’d keep Ferguson in for the Liverpool game and rest him against Boro!

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

... but let's not get too carried away. We thought the same about a useless waste of time that scored two against spurs once upon a time.

Yeah but one of them is a 6ft bull that gets stuck in and the other 5ft 8 and easily pushed around.

Well spotted Sherlock

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Had wondered if Connolly going back out straight away was simply as they didn’t want him around our youngsters

 

[Pevenseagull]

By the following criteria:

1) at least 3 goals in all competitions
2) not Norwegian

He has the most goals per 90minutes played for a top flight player so far this season.

 

[Sea Cider]

Not wanting to get carried away but...



... he kind of reminds me of a certain Man City striker

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I imagine as he’s not needed and/or wanted.

The fact he was allowed to go to New York over new year suggests the club are ‘managing’ him well
