Ferguson has been with us for 4 years…..I suspect the S&C team have very much been ‘actively working‘ on his physical attributes with him throughout that period.Very interesting scouting report that. Sounds similar to Joelinton to me who was ineffective up top but has now become an absolute beast in midfield.
Very different player in that his physical attributes seems to be outstanding. The only young player we have who hasn't had to actively work on that Is Ferg. All the others have outstanding technical attributes but are clearly being worked very hard on the physical side of their game.
So makes total sense. I assumed he was a flairniac and thought it a bit unnecessary to be signing another player like Sarmiento, Enciso etc.
Really wouldn't be surprised if we see him as someone to develop in the 6/8 role as much as 7/10/11.
