Thought I pasted that clip before - but yea - that game solidified the awareness of people that he is special. I have never seen a 14 year-old being able to handle himself against big club defenders like Ferguson did in this match. The last kid that was able to do it like this was probably...

He's full of himself - a smarmy, slimly, little d*ckhead - from day one when he made his debut for Ireland he got on my nerves. And he loves sucking up to the powers that be - being one of their boot-lickers. I hope he has an absolutely disastrous time in Israel with that racist bunch of sh*ts...

In the meantime I like Sinclair Armstrong - think he could become a top player and we still have Adam Idah who is getting a run of games at Norwich which will do him the world of good. Yea - the weak point of the Irish team is midfield - Smallbone also has some potential. But you have to...

Three years ago when people here were raving about Connolly after he scored against Spurs - I cautioned that the hype was not warranted and that Connolly had a long, long way to go to make it as a PL player. The day Brighton signed Ferguson I stated that Brighton had got the best prospect in a...

Neither Evan - nor his father - have ever given the impression that they were interested in money. It seems to be all about the football. His father knows have football works having been a player himself - if you focus on the football you are going to make decent money on the back of fulfilling...

A further addition to this - have a look at the 2min highlights from QPR and Ipswich yesterday and you will see why I think Armstrong is going to be a good player.

This is the point - When Rodrygo went for a world record for a 18 year-old he already has 63 games for Santos - Ferguson played three games for Bohs and has played 22 for Brighton. When Mbappe joined PSG he had played 41 games for Monaco and (technically) another 27 games for PSG (he joined on...

The world record for an 18-year-old is £42m - Real Madrid paid that for Rodrygo last summer. £120m for Ferguson would treble the current record. It is a lot of money for a kid would is still learning his trade and anything can go wrong along the way. Mbappe was 19 when PSG paid £125m plus...

Kurt Zouma couldn't push him off the ball when he was a 14 year-old - it is well nigh impossible now to shove him over.

Pretty sure I'm not - his dad is a very level-headed, experienced ex-footballer who, in his currently job, noted for working with people in a constructive way. It would be completely out of character for him to dictate to Evan what he should and shouldn't do. He didn't dictate to Evan that he...

Evan's dad doesn't dictate to Evan - the kid is way too mature for his dad to take that approach. From a footballing perspective there is no way that Ferguson should leave. However, players do get injured and sometimes you have to give serious consideration to a big money offer - just in case...

Apparently Lineker is now touting Ferguson as Kane's replacement.

IMO Ferguson shouldn't go near Spurs - they are a hot mess at the moment and no one knows how Ange will pan out - but Brighton do operate on the basis that every player has his price. As for Armstrong - he is far from a ready made replacement - but he is definitely one to keep an eye on.

Rumours in Ireland that Spurs are offering a British transfer record fee for Ferguson - Would Bloom take £120m ?

Well he has a five year contract - but ????

The Irish squad that qualified for the Euros in 1988 had Mark Lawrenson Ronnie Whelan Ray Houghton John Aldridge (all Liverpool) Kevin Moran Paul McGrath Liam O'Brien Frank Stapleton (he joined Ajax in 1987) (Man Utd) Tony Galvin Chris Hughton (Spurs) Liam Brady (then at West Ham) Niall...

Oh yea - Ferguson is streets ahead of anyone else at this point. Ireland does not have the population to produce a pool of players of the standard Ferguson can achieve. One is celebration time - two at the same time would be start pinching yourself.

By the way - there is another Irish striker who really came of age last weekend that Brighton should keep an eye on. On his way to a MOTM performance Sinclair Armstrong scored one and set up a second in QPRs win at Cardiff. He played well in 14 games for QPR last season but the kid looks like he...

Fairly standard with LOI clubs - English clubs get young players for a small fee but including a sell-on clause. It was the same with Jamie Mullins who joined Brighton from Bohs in January - undisclosed fee with a sell-on clause. Although things have changed since Brexit - it is very...

Ferguson is not just any 18-year-old - he is mature way beyond his years. For a young man so much in the spotlight it is incredible how level-headed and humble he is. Furthermore - his father is right there watching out for him. Barry Ferguson spent 4 years at Coventry before having a decent LOI...
