He really reminds me of Murray. I think he could be what we have been looking for! Great player. Early days yet of course. Great limbs today for his goal.

How tall is he actually?
Seen 6ft but also 6ft 3

That header was like Shearer in his pomp. Very promising.
Completely agree. He's doing very well at the moment, but there will come a point where he has a bad run and it's important that there isn't too much pressure on him.
Being new on the scene, defenders don't have much footage or data on him, but that will change. It's important for us to have Welbeck and Ferguson interchangeable.

He’s one seriously promising young player. He has so many qualities but the one I most rate is his football brain - that is seemingly a pre-requisite to get into an RDZ team - but for one so young, that is hugely impressive. V happy for him and Welbz to share duties this season but, to be fair, young Ev doesn’t look like he needs protecting physically…he’d probably make a brilliant cruiser weight.

Mark my words - we are going to be fending off £75m+ offers for this guy before he’s 21.
All the while we are only playing 1 game a week he should be starting.

I agree. His finishing, strength and positioning is Murray-like. However, I think he has more of an all round game. I’d suggest that he is faster than Murray ever was when he played for us and as for that assist to March against Liverpool, I’m not sure Muzza had too many of those.
Murray was a lower level EPL striker, Ferguson can develop into a top Six EPL striker.
Bit early to say that. Murray had a lot of qualities, other than pace.
Otherwise agree.
What a talent!

When Evan scores a goal with his cock then he's reached Murray's level.
Might not look like it but at 18 he’s not physiologically fully developed so overall load needs careful management. The club’s army of S&C coaches, nutritionists and analysts are in a better place to determine when he starts than some bloke off Twitter
That's good to hear, I hope he does well. I'm not sure he was a grafter in training was he? If he was, what exactly went wrong (I know about his off field antics, but if he was training well why would they matter)?
The Guardian printed some nice words about him today and rate him, that’s an extra 5-10m on his fee.

I don’t know tbf. I always thought he put a shift in when on the pitch but prepared to be corrected. We’ll see.

He'll put a spell on you
De Z doing right thing by not starting him every game. He was also involved in build up to his goal, stuck his head in to win ball back and feed Estupinian before getting into the box. Good stuff!
I presume this is an existing song for some strikers, although I can't remember hearing it?

Although, I suspect the unimaginative
Der, der, der, der, der, der Evan Ferguson
will be the chant that sticks.

Exactly. A mid-20s Murray would've had a field day in this side. Ferguson is ready now. There are so few players who can head a ball these days. That goal was a throwback to the 70s and 80s.
