The only reason why we monitoring him is so we can plan in case for whatever reason Haaland is either long term injury or will leave the club.

Evan Ferguson
- Thread starter Dribble
- Start date
In terms of age and scoring, Kelechi Iheanacho was outperforming Ferguson. Ferguson maybe a little younger when he broke into the team, but his stats aren't even close to Iheanacho's breakthrough season.It's very unusual for an 18-year old striker to be performing at the level he is in the PL. The last one to be performing at a higher level was Rooney. He may not be a total freak like Haaland but I'd be surprised if he doesn't develop into a 20-25 PL goals a season striker.
Kelechi was 18 at the start of the 15/16 season and scored 14 goals at a rate of one ever 86 minutes. Ferguson is now on 14 at a goal every 117 minutes.
Perhaps. But he just looks the part of a future menacing striker.In terms of age and scoring, Kelechi Iheanacho was outperforming Ferguson. Ferguson maybe a little younger when he broke into the team, but his stats aren't even close to Iheanacho's breakthrough season.

I had a feeling someone might mention Kelechi. Ferguson has more PL goals at the same age in a worse team.
It's close in terms of age - Ferguson a little younger, but Kelechi had a better record in the same number of minutes.I had a feeling someone might mention Kelechi. Ferguson has more PL goals at the same age in a worse team.
As for the 'worse team', I'd agree if it were pretty much anyone apart from Brighton.
Since De Zerbi arrived, which is the period Ferguson has been playing, Brighton have taken more shots than any other team in the Premier League. And these aren't pot shots from outside the box - their xG since he arrived is second only to ourselves, and it's not far off, which suggests that Ferguson is getting pretty much the same quantity and quality of chances as he'd get at City.
Obviously they're the highest scorers this season, but since the start of last season, Liverpool have just a single goal more than Brighton, and Arsenal and City are the only teams who have scored more.
Kelechi on the other hand played most of his games the season before Pep arrived when City scored just 71 goals - less than Brighton last season.

Shame that he is/was a Rag so possibly has his heart set on Old Toilet. He looks the real deal.

Erling wouldn't be leaving anytime soonThe only reason why we monitoring him is so we can plan in case for whatever reason Haaland is either long term injury or will leave the club.
This is the type of player the GPC would have bought back in the day.
Doing great things for his age etc but I wonder what alverez would be thinking reading city’s interest in this guy.
As someone else has said it will be a plan b
In case erling fucks off to Madrid.
