[Albion] Evan Ferguson

[zefarelly]

Apologies if fixtures, but just stumbled upon this.


Brighton appear to have beaten Liverpool in the race to sign 16-year-old Ireland striker Evan Ferguson from Bohemians. Manager Keith Long said he had already made an agreement with Albion. “He has a deal already done with Brighton," said the Bohemians manager.

We love these Irish Man-Boys.

“He made headlines in the summer of 2019 after making a substitute appearance as a 14-year-old against Chelsea in a pre-season friendly.”

Hopefully he can follow in the footsteps of Mr Connolly.

I'm kind of hoping he's going to be better than that.

A Welsh-Scottish hybrid, so it's a no thanks.

Think it’s a verbal agreement not signed because of his age . May come good , may not - have to see in the next 2-3 years

AZ Gull might correct me here but I believe this deal was made a long while ago (over a year) but perhaps this is another one? Can't seem to find evidence of this now!

Crikey he is a big lad for a youngster with probably a lot more growing to do!

Ridiculous comment. Very hard to break into a PL team, especially at that age

It rung a vague bell which is why I mentioned fixtures . . . . U23's or 1st team squad when COnnolly goes out on loan in Jan ?

Why is it ridiculous to hope he's going to be better ? Connollys not exactly the new Michael Owen

i recently found out that my oldest daughters boy freind is Jack Grealish's cousin on the mothers side ....there are apparently many " beautiful" footballers in Ireland but they are soon way laid by the drink , a fate that very nearly befell Jack himself ......worth some thought.

"In fact, I believe if a player is a tiny little ****er, but is too good for his age, then he should be playing up (an older age grade) as well."

My 15 year & 11 month old towers over that short arse.

One of the other lads mentioned in that article, Andrew Moran, is now with us a 1st-year scholar.
