Everton would be good for him. And us if we could keep it to a loan. Premier League football, not a direct competitor, likely to get lots of game time under a vastly experienced manager who’ll play in a way that suits him. He’d learn a lot I think.

[Albion] Evan Ferguson

Everton? He’d come back looking and playing like Phil Stant or Duncan Ferguson

Here I go reading between the lines again. FH praises Evan and would like to keep him but I get the impression that he’s not putting in the required effort in training and that he wants away in the article in today’s Argus.

Agree. "It’s not only the responsibility from the club to develop him, it’s also the intrinsic motivation from the player to be the best every day, to use the chances you have during the season and to get back to your shape."
I think him going to a very experienced manager at a club in a fight with a demanding fan base would be a very useful test of Evans potential. Also of whether is FH who's struggling to motivate some of these young players getting shipped out.

We hate Chelsea and we hate Chelsea, we hate Chelsea and we hate Chelsea, we are the Chelsea haters!
*However, if Chelsea are prepared to pay the £20m 'Chelsea tax' on top of his suggested transfer fee, I suggest we should consider it.
The more bidding, the better.

That makes sense as he could be reunited with his ankle which I believe is still in their 6 yard box.
I would imagine the price might have just changed in our board room..........

That article is odd. No quotes, no sources, but Simon Stone knows what we want to do...
Likely pushed from the club then. BBC don't just throw rumours out from bad sources and Simon Stone doesn't really miss.
If that's true, then I'd imagine it is an attempt to quash the £40m fee that has been stated twice by the Guardian. Expect a bidding war.

He’s never been the same since he jumped that fence at Leylands Park.
From the board's perspective, a bidding war with several desperate clubs involved, for a position that they all need urgent reinforcement in, with three and a half days to go is ideal.
From the team / fans perspective, it looks like we'll leave the January window weaker than we entered it.

Pushed by the club or is it just one of those vague 'Brighton would sell IF his value is met (which could be said about any player)' type articles. I'd bet the latter.

Would we though? How can we miss Ferguson when he's hardly played?
P.S. I don't want him to leave, but I want 2023 Evan, not 2024 Evan.
Not from Simon Stone though. I know that around this time there is a lot of give and take with journalists and the club and expect something similar to have happened here.
He's got the club's side on the Mitoma negotiations today as well.

Apologies if duplicate. I wonder with this saga and similar if the much vaunted algorithm etc is used when looking at selling players? Would seem a bit self defeating if player sales were sanctioned on the basis of said player falling out with current management? I’m sure TB and PB et al would have the final say??
