Transfer Rumour Evan Ferguson

[Kevsleftpeg]

No mate, the Lukaku type goalscorer is a unicorn.

Lukaku is a one off striker for us since the PL began. And in general, clubs at our level, hell, clubs outside the top 6 don’t have strikers who score consistently like he did for us (Vardy being a huge outlier for Leicester).

We didn’t have a striker like Lukaku since the PL started. We have only ever had bang average strikers or the occasional flash in the pan strikers who manage 1 great season (yak, Saha, DCL).

People often compare to Lukaku as if we should be getting a striker of his calibre, they don’t exist barring a handful every season who generally play for the very top teams.

We need a striker right now that could get us 10-15 goals a season. Let’s not suggest that players capable of that can’t be found for under £40m. Other clubs find them for cheaper fees and then suckers like us come along after a season when they have been hyped by the media and offer 20x what they were originally bought for.

Ferguson “may” prove to be fantastic.
But he hasn’t really shown that so far barring a handful of goals has he? Like some are making out.

Let's get another Beto or Maupay instead then. Such small time thinking.

 

[Timbucktoo]

Sounding like he wants the move to Wham over us.
Move on if so.

I don`t see why he would be looking there as a good move for him. They have had a few good seasons since moving into their big athletics stadium, getting into Europe and winning a trophy, but they have started to drop off back to the lower reaches of the PL.

Depends if he's attracted more to the money or the chance of playing every week.

Young lad with stories about him liking socialising goes to West London, what could possibly go wrong?

 

[Goat]

We were never even in for him.

 

[MikeH72]

Why

 

[john jako]

It would be quicker at this point if the media informed us when Chelsea are NOT interested in signing a player

It’s like they’ve woke up today and found themselves really bored

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

Yes

He wasn't.

I just imagine Todd Boehly sat at home with Sky Sports News on hunched forward fidgeting and chewing his nails.

 

[Paulyefc]

If he ended up at Chelsea he'd be in the same position as he is now- not playing . I think he will go to West Ham where he'll be more or less guaranteed to be playing regularly.

 

[john jako]

Actually a chance Chelsea sign him and then loan him to us for the rest of the season

 

[kenada_blue]

Why

Why not if they can.

Their operation isn't to buy to fit a plan or to use, it's to buy quality of a certain age because they can so no one else does.

The American way.

 

[blue to the bone]

Fergusons father was an ex pro
If he's advising him and let's him go to Chelsea to become a squad player then it's very foolish. He needs to go somewhere and be the starting number 9 and see how it goes .

wheres the west ham preference coming from?

Potter is their manager

Not sure where you’re getting the attitude issue stuff from

“The German made it clear there is no problem with Ferguson’s attitude, application, professionalism, lifestyle or character. In fact he made a point of saying the striker is a great character and hard worker.

He also made a point of saying his talent for scoring goals is still clear in training.

But he was honest enough to admit the string of injuries have stunted his progress.

Particularly the injury involving a troublesome ankle that required an operation and also kept him out the last month or so.

There is understandable concern then about what West Ham might be about to get themselves into.”
