[Albion] How much would you accept for Evan Ferguson *this transfer window*?

[Giraffe]

We should not sell. But if offered £50m+ right now that seems a reasonable deal.

Still think he has the potential to be the Irish Harry Kane but equally could disappear into a list of promising youngsters who haven’t quite made it…

The Irish Aaron Connolly?

Or maybe the Irish Paddy McCourt?

I agree; he has the raw talent to be exceptional. Unfortunately, talent alone is nothing like enough though. The people at the top have amazing talent and a ridiculous work ethic. If they lose the latter they go downhill rapidly.

I hope he stays with us and becomes what we all think he could be.

Do you understand what this website is?

People putting their views across …which is what the poster did…hope that helps

 

[Simster]

Where's the option for "£1.50, as long as he takes that tedious cock Zeberdi with him"?

 

[Oh_aye]

No money. Get him fit and get him playing.

 

[Justice]

It’s a difficult one as Ferguson clearly has very high potential but has only shown it in small flashes. He could easily turn out to be like the Swedish chap we let go & start scoring regularly.

£50m I think is fair because there’s definitely a good striker in there plus he’s still very young & homegrown.

Swedes are often departing this place unfortunately some come back.

For Ferguson or for the message board?

For my sins I often have TS on whilst I’m working I find Darren Bent’s insights interesting. He said when he thought he had made it as a youngster he saw how the older established pros trained daily and soon realised he was way off it. I don’t agree with the clubs stance of giving youngsters mega contracts when they have promise we’ve seen it destroy Connolly and now possibly Ferguson. Make them work for it keep them hungry.

On the basis that fella Duran Duran at Villa is worth about £57 million, I'd suggest about £20m for Ferguson.

Let's be honest, he's done nothing for ages and is a sick note.

I think he'll be playing in League One in 5 years time.

20m for Fergie? What Planet Earth are you on?

If Ferguson was hungry like the wolf, then he may command a higher fee.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

If Ferguson was hungry like the wolf, then he may command a higher fee.

Maybe his agent should sent his reel to potential clubs, seeing his Goals on Film might bump the price up as well.

Let’s hope he doesn’t end up in Rio?

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

He's been invisible recently, maybe we should save a prayer that he finds his goal scoring form soon. That will send the Amex wild, boys.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

In the Ordinary World, that’s unlikely to happen.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I can't really believe this is even being entertained.

 

[armchairclubber]

Exactly, potential clubs might be left thinking, 'Is there something I should know?'

 

[Bozza]

I can't really believe this is even being entertained.

Was that an obscure album track?

I'd go lower on the price but higher on the sell on clause. Say £25m and 50% of the whole sell on fee.

That said, he's a young lad with bags of potential who's seemingly lost his way a bit. Rather than off load him, we should be doing all we can when he's fit to get him back to the player he was.

This is the key part for me.

He has shown how good he can be, but has lost his way.
Would another club pay a big up front fee for a player that showed huge quality at a young age and has massive potential, but really hasn't shown it for some time?

A relatively low fee and a relatively high sell-on covers the club to an extent if he fulfils his potential elsewhere (a la Viktor G).

A sell-on clause isn't worth much if he stays at his next club until he's 30 though.

£40m + 30% sell-on and an extra £20m if he's at the buying club for 8 years or more?
