Who will come out on top? 
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] Ferguson vs Welbeck and Joao Pedro
- Thread starter Harry Wilson's tackle
- Start date
I feel a bit sorry for him - been poorly advised.
Looking at his introduction interview, where he's saying he's just looking forward to getting back out there, playing football. He averaging more minutes per game with us, than he's got during this loan.

What was the point of sending him out on loan, only to sit on the bench.......five subs used today, but he just fist pumped the players coming off.....yet again Potter has shafte us !

Absolute waste of a loan for him. We should've given him game time in the U21s
Well we don't know what other options there were, or what level Ferg would have accepted a loan at.
Still he might take his lumps and do an Ayari. Which would be nice.
Just maybe Evan has been way below the level that West Ham need to see before letting him play first team minutes. When he has got on the pitch he’s been a carbon copy of the player we saw this season that doesn’t seem to want to run around much. My West Ham mate said they have been super underwhelmed with what they’ve seen when he’s got in the pitch.
Sometimes the player has to take responsibility. I’m really not sure Evan is going to make it at this level unless he starts to look like he’s really prepared to graft. Maybe another one who started to well and rested on his laurels thinking he’d already made it. Seems to be a speciality at Brighton for young strikers.
In all honesty, I feel like it's us that shafted Potter. He wanted a striker on loan and he got one that hasn't been able to break into a team that was desperate for one. The fact is, West Ham are garbage, and he's not been good enough to get in that side.

But with Pedders looking like he’s out, it would be nice for Fergy to learn from this and find a way back to form and be our guy up top.
Maybe it’s me being old school but why should he have had a say? He’d have been better off banging them in for fun in League One, that’s where he should have gone.
“Oh I’ll go on loan, but only if I can go to Barcelona.” Sod off, you’re going to Charlton and you’ll like it.

Don't clubs do due diligence/research prior to taking a player on loan ? If so, how could Potter make a decision on a player who hadn't had much, if any game time ?

Ferguson only got 151 minutes of football on loan, such a waste of a loan. Would have been better to loan him to Scotland or the Championship, get him banging in goals for confidence. Now, his confidence is probably worse than when he left.
That's kinda what I'm getting it. I expect Potter took him on faith that there was something he could use at West Ham. It's our responsibility to msake sure we pick the right club for him and that he's fit enough to progress

Well what can you say?
As I’ve said earlier in this thread- this was always a bit of fun, a win win situation, but young Evan probably never stood a chance. I realy hope he can sort himself out for next season because there’s a goodun in there.
Congrats to @Harry Wilson's tackle for calling my bluff and running away with it.
As promised here is my losing bet. I wanted to give it to an East London charity and these guys seem small- it might make a difference or at least they can buy their volunteers some well earned treats.
