[Albion] Evan Ferguson

[Questions]

This kid is the real deal (and I have been saying this since I saw him as a 14 year-old playing for Bohemians).

He will be in demand this summer - and a lot of clubs will be after him. It will be massive for Brighton if he is here next season.

He’s going nowhere for quite some time. He needs as much time learning off Welbeck as possible

 

[Swansman]

Have Ireland got a midfield to give him service, matching his talent?

This dog is something extra. Will be a struggle to keep him around for more than five minutes or so. Hopefully we'll get two more season of his finishing.

Nice to see the ‘we’ buddy.

Doing what he's doing at 18 is ridiculous.

He's the real deal and he's at the right club.

Extremely exciting player. I am certain he will make it to the very top, hopefully with us.

It's crazy to think he's only 18! He speaks like he's in his 30's and plays like 25 year old. The lad could be the next Harry Kane or Wayne Rooney, an absolute superstar in the making.

Peter Ward, Bobby Zamora and Glenn Murray.

Can’t think of any other No.9 that is at his level and he is just 18! Phenomenal.

Connolly, Tau, Towell.

Ireland has probably the best midfield in the world.... Sexton and Gibson Park! Unfortunately for the FAI, the football midfield is not quite as talented as their rugby team

I knew it. Swanny’s drunk the kool aid

 

[GrossTurn]

Very Murray-esque first goal. Clever movement, and the most efficient way of getting the ball under control, out of his feet and in the back of the net. A natural born scorer.

I consider myself very fortunate to have witnessed the phenomenal rise of Our Lord Peter Ward in the 70s. We used to get to school and eulogise about him and his ability. It was truly fantastic and a memory I will always cherish. So now let's praise the next coming. I think the school-kids both in Sussex and In Eire will be going bananas at his play, poise and potential.

It's Fergy-time

For sure!

I did think about them too

 

[Ding Dong !]

It is quite amazing to see the difference between Ferguson and Connolly........Night and day springs top mind.

Love him already

 

[brighton_tom]

He just looks incredibly intelligent with all his play, which is normally the last thing to slot into place as a player develops.

Yeah he has that calmness about him as well and he uses his body well to win the ball and shield it from opponents.

 

[Whitechapel]

'Starboy' as the kids say.

 

[Mellotron]

We have FINALLY replaced Glenn Murray.

Now PLEASE let’s not undervalue this one.
