Some great goals in that lot. Away from the spectacular ones, I love the header at Leicester, and the especially the first against Grimsby - the technique and awareness there is top, top class.
The Ferguson who DESTROYED Newcastle, early last season, is a top level premier League striker. If he can get back to that level, he's comfortably our best number 9.
Welbeck has started the season really well, which is great, as it takes away any pressure to rush Evan. Once he is ready, I'd...
Probably with the idea that a player who has featured in 18 (11 starts) of our 20 PL games is ‘struggling for game time ‘ surplus to requirements?
or maybe with the valuation of €28m?
or perhaps with the idea that we’d even consider selling to one Of our direct rivals for a fringe European spot.
That would be really disappointing for him (and for Ireland) if true. He definitely was troubled by something towards the end of that game - looking over to the bench a couple of times, pointing at his leg.
I'm fairly certain that BHAFC are NOT paying Ansu Fati £160k/week - there's just too much risk of upsetting the culture / wage structure within the club.
When the reports state that we are 'covering 80% of his salary' I'd expect that the transaction that will actually take place is that we are...
He arrived in the same car as Connolly, too. Much as there are plenty of influences from those two, I'd rather Evan didn't pick up, I'm sure they are all good mates.
The only chances of Evan Ferguson still being here in FIVE years' time are:
1. He gets a big injury that massively stalls his career.
2. He doesn't develop further, and ends up not being nearly as good as people expect.
3. He's left us, failed, and come back again!
Great hat trick, and unlucky with a couple of others. The take and turn for the chance saved by the keeper's boot at 2-1, is top class.
Looks a real talent.
You'll probably see him a lot sooner than that. He came on as sub in the EFL cup game at Cardiff, and Zeqiri who was the starting striker in that game has now gone.
Every chance you'll see him against Swansea in a couple of weeks.
