I don’t think it works like that. Every player and every manager are ‘never going any where’ … until it’s announced that they are

Do you honestly think Ferguson is going to single-handedly move a team up 8-7 places in the table based on his form this season? If WHU finish above us this season it’s going to be because we are dropping points when we should be winning them not if we loan them a young lad who is struggling to...

Tbh our poor performances against lower teams are the biggest threat to us rather than any difference Ferguson might make at another PL Club. Everton could be the answer instead of WHU but I think he’ll get more game time at WHU. Acknowledged several times above abd an excellent point but how...

I was the one on the thread who first suggested West Ham (last Sunday morning following news of Antonio’s accident ) because I think it would be an excellent option for Evan to play half a season with a team that still regularly plays a single 9 to lead their attack and I’ll stand by that...

Good point. It’s a conundrum- young player, 20 yrs old, still developing and having what appears to be a significant wobble in his career. What would be the less of two evils - a failed loan or risk not climbing out of what ever doldrums he seems to be stuck in at Brighton? Either would...

No, just asking what your reaction is to the idea of him going to WHU in January? No idea why you think I am upset 😂 WHU seem very keen according to the rumour sauces https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-west-ham-accelerate-evan-ferguson-deal-after-his-reveal/...

Obviously a typo.☹️ What about a loan to WHU (or any other EPL team) (in the absence of any ability to call him back?) Do people think that would help?

Whatever. What do you think of my suggestion for West Ham? That was the point of my recent posts.

define ‘long term’ 😀 The way round it might be short term loans (4-6 weeks) then assessing our injury situation before agreeing to another short term loan. I don’t think there is any limit to how often you can loan a player to the same club? I’m not saying we could negotiate something like...

Any fair terms can be included/negotiated into a contract if both parties agree. It‘s called negotiation…

You have a point but look at the long term picture. We currently have an investment development player that if he were on form could get £90+ on the transfer market. Currently we’d be lucky to get half that. If Evan can get back up to his peak performances of early 2023/4 by spending 6 months...

As I said several days ago - a move to a Club like WHU could be an excellent option for Evan to finish out the season. It obviously could help out WHU with Antonio out for the foreseeable - however it really depends on why Evan’s off form and whether either Club thinks he will suddenly find it...

Indeed. The difficulty for Evan I think, is our goal scoring system now (and was becoming increasingly so under RDZ) is very widely distributed; inverted wingers cutting inside to score and FBs playing wingbacks can leave a traditional 9 like Evan feeling bit redundant in a final third...

Yes exactly that. He passed to Mitoma what for him should have been a tap in as I said on the match thread at the time. I referred to it above as ‘poor decision-making’ but I believe that’s down to a lack self-confidence - he’s been out a full match time for so long, it will take a while...

Well 70mins today and made some poor decisions - also not enough effort in fighting for the ball or shaking off defenders. Im not knocking him but you seem to think all it needs is Fergie getting on the pitch is all it takes. Its not that simple - he is in a physical and mental place that...

And I suppose you are at the squad training sessions day in day out are you? No of course you are not - if you think the decision about whether to start a player solely relies upon on how many goals they scored in the previous game then you have a lot to learn about professional football my...

Can understand the speculation on whether Ferguson will be on the move in January based on his need for game time as a young player but I don’t understand the pile on with his level of performance. Most of 2023/4 Evan was either ill or injured or recovering from an ankle operation - You can’t...

Yep, that and being ill, injured and working under a manager for an entire season that by all accounts was throwing coffee pots around when he couldn’t get his way, being overly critical of young players and training them to get injured 🙂

He’s clearly had a crisis of confidence for various reasons.

”There, he showed a really good performance and now it’s also up to us to give him the right advice, to give him the right training sessions and to give him the right ball touches on the pitch to improve him, to get the confidence back after his long injury and then I’m sure that he will be back...
