Evan Ferguson

[I'm With Stupid]

His goals to games ration of 115 minutes per goal is based on his 24 league appearances.

Yeah, but goal per minutes are largely bollocks unless it's done over a number of years. There are plenty of super subs that have had world class goal per minute ratios when coming on against tired legs, but don't replicate it when they start matches. There are also plenty of young players who exploit the unknown factor and score loads initially only to find that the goals dry up once opposition defences figure them out a bit. I'm not saying he's not going to be a fantastic striker, just let's give him some time before we declare him the next Alan Shearer.

It feels like 99% of the negative reaction is because we know we've got our striker situation sorted, so Ferguson is likely going to Chelsea, Liverpool or United and he's already being treated like a rival player.

He's what we all got hyped into believing delap would be. He's a brilliant traditional centre forward adapted to the modern game, he's going to be an exceptional player but he won't be a city player, not whilst Haaland remains a blue.

Cant see him being sold anytime soon. He chose Brighton ahead of united because he thought he stood a better chance of developing and getting games and he's just signed a new long contract with them, seems to have a good head on him. I don't think he's the type to be in a rush to move clubs. unless Brighton implode, staying there for a few years yet will give him everything he needs.

So this thread is mostly about whether he’s English or not and whether we need him?

Easy goes, couldn’t care less, and we have Haaland, an Evan Ferguson respectfully is never reaching these levels

Liverpool will have the money to tempt Brighton into a sale so for me that's where he'll go next summer. Assuming of course he maintains his recent form for the whole season and not just a handful of games. There's been plenty of up and coming stars who ultimately can't sustain the form/levels required by top sides like City. I'd want to see alot more before we compete to sign him if we are interested.

He’s class.

Any English in him?

Brighton also know they have 200m so they'll be asking for 150m

Might as well be since I did not predict Liam Delap could outdo Haaland
