Has he gone yet?
The manager and club know what they are doing. There is a ridiculous amount fo football to be played and he is still just a boy, he'll get plenty of game time. We may also be trying to manage his exposure to a certain extent as if he had a storming first 7-8 games of the season the vultures would be praying by January and almost certainly end of season.
No doubt RDZ knows what he is doing and I have total trust in him, but a huge part of me also wants to see this lad light up the PL on a regular basis and I think it’s commonly accepted he is going to be the next big thing.
That’s the trouble. An 18 yo doesn’t know what’s best for him.
He's a growing lad. Managed well, he'll peak in 10 years.
Agreed. He’s still developing physically at 18. Playing week in week out would cause problems later in his career....exactly like Michael Owen.
Agree with this.
Disagree with this. If he has a storming first 7-8 games, we get more points, which is great for the club. If the club were really worried about bids in January, they could simply have words with the entire team stating that we will not be forced into selling anyone mid-season, so at least he'll know in advance.
Obviously if we need him to play he would. But against a team at Luton’s level , as proved, we have more than enough without Evan.
Sure, but there are almost no games where we can be assured of 3 points without him.

Has he still not gone yet?
You smooth talking barsterd. But if you're after winky wanky woo, I expect a bit of wooing first.
Maybe he's considered to be behind the club's record signing in the pecking order? Shame if he is, IMHO.
Ferguson is not just any 18-year-old - he is mature way beyond his years. For a young man so much in the spotlight it is incredible how level-headed and humble he is. Furthermore - his father is right there watching out for him. Barry Ferguson spent 4 years at Coventry before having a decent LOI career ultimately ended by injury - he knows the pressures on young players in professional football. He now works as a development officer with the FAI (with one of his responsibilities being player development programmes).
I think this just shows unique he is. Most teenagers would be busting a gut in preseason. But he's so calm and confident in his ability. Much more like a seasoned pro to treat those games with a certain amount of irreverence. Looked absolutely bang up for it on Saturday.
