He's completely finished.

Lock up your daughters.

Some people believe in redemption, others don't... Who's to say who's right..
If the root cause of his problems is recurrent ankle injuries, as some have said, then that's a different situation. But if it's mental/social then I don't believe in writing off 20 year olds as lost causes, and to me it's a gamble worth taking.
It could start with a 6 month loan and sticking him in the u21s to start with.

So that’s great and it’s glad you don’t , I’d have been delighted to see Dele make a comeback of note . Genuine question who’s come back from falling off in football ? If Ferguson is going to have his redemption arc it has to be soon otherwise he’ll be likely not coming back .

What if Beto is our main striker and Ferguson takes Chermitis place in the squad?

it’s not musical chairs mate

Feels a bit like that now with PSR tbh

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

It’s like there’s been some challenge for the maddest ‘we should sign’ shouts

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Chermiti is a better bet than Ferguson currently.

Wouldn’t mind Sancho if Chelsea aren’t going to buy him and he’s still persona non grata at United.

He has looked alright whenever I have watched him play for Chelsea this season, so I would be prepared to take a chance on him. Plus, he can play out wide on the right, which is a position which we desperately need to fill.

he's better on the left
Would prefer we went all in on McAtee, an actual RWinger and probably cost less in wages

The Ferguson situation is strange. Certainly all the attributes are there to be a top striker, more than Delap in my opinion, but something seems seriously wrong with his career at the moment.

I expect that DM would still have enough contacts at West Ham to find out what happened during his loan spell there.
There certainly would not be a big fee at this stage and DM has rehabilitated players in the past who have lost track of their careers, but it still would a big risk based on the last couple of seasons.

Hard to believe he is still only 20.

His age could very well have something to do with it.

People are still growing between the age he has been a professional footballer. Slight differences in a players body can change how they perform. It's the main risk with young players.

I would prefer McAtee myself, but wouldn't be completely averse to taking a chance on Sancho. Obviously, Sancho would need to take a pay cut to come here.

 

[Zatara]

Oscar Bobb and Nico O'Reilly would be great signings for us.

With the homegrown sales strategy City have....wouldn't Rico Lewis and McAtee be the best two to come in on our right hand side?

I would love Pedro from Brighton, Asprilla from Girona, and Richy back for good measure.

I really like Asprilla...in the right team (alongside Alcaraz & Ndiaye perhaps) he'd be a really efficient and exciting player.

 

[buskwhi2]

I’ll be honest I’m not completely sold on McAtee. Too reliant on Pep’s ‘system’ and players around him creating chances. We need a game breaker and I’m far from convinced it’s him.

There's no doubt Sancho would improve us, there must be a better deal out there though

 

[NeilMorepies]

Heck no!!

Branthwaite replacement target David Hancko has agreed terms with Al Nassr.

May as well get Doucs back and change our club to Watford.
