Why limit ourselves to one striker?
Evan Ferguson - Top Irish Prospect
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
Unless rhe club brings back you know who and he gets back to his old level, we will have one reliable striker. Martial will surely be moved on as his contract runs down and Rashford isn't the same player up top. We will definitely be in the market for someone.
Dont' think there's any chance of him winning the PFA Young Player of the Year award but great to see him nominated. He's born in 2004, all the other nominees are 2001 or 2002.
6 league goals in 19 appearances for a 18 year old is some going from a lad who's just not going to be a goalscorer.
What was his minutes per goal last season?

Sign him up
His Rooney against Fenerbahce moment.
I’m gonna be pissed when Tottenham get him with the Kane money. I really fecking wanted an Irish player in united. He was the one. Now we have Rasmus.
Having a nice day isn't he
I think I'm in love.
Can't wait for us to sign him next summer 
As if he'd go to Spurs
Real Madrid will get him or the Qataris will get him for United.
If he carries on like, this, there's no way he's going to move to Spurs.
They've thrown half the Kane money on Brennan Johnson.
Why would he move to Spurs
The second goal was lovely but the first was bad goalkeeping and the last lucky. Good young player still.
Imagine an Irish striker at United...
I can honestly see him replacing Haaland at Man. City when the time comes.
Another 100m + in the pocket for Brighton, ridiculous he's still only 18.

He’s going to cost 150 isn’t he
He doesn`t have quite the same feeling of dead cert star as a young Rooney had, but he is good enough to start salivate over. Not going to be cheap
They have another young Irish striker coming through who is just as good so they just might cash in on Evan in a few seasons or play two up top
He will now.
Brighton will absolutely rinse anybody who comes in for him next Summer. Tbf, as they rightfully should.
potential Galactico
Sir Alex would have signed him is such a cliche, but he absolutely would have signed him wouldn't he
Jesus
One to keep an eye on for sure.
Nice for Ireland!

He is going to be a superstar there is no doubt about it.
Irish, United mad and an amazing talent. If we don't sign him it will be a tragedy

him and Mitoma would fetch an absolute fortune for Brighton. I think Mitoma would be gone first though, Ferguson would be the next next summer
We're not getting him. Get real. If there's a "next big thing" around these days it ain't us in for him. Kane should have been it this summer and you just know we could never make it work. We ain't done that since Fergie had his sway.
If Ferguson leaves he's being tagged by City, Real, etc.

Depends. I think by that time Ferguson will be at a top club already. He will move in a year or two, he will be too good for Brighton.
He would. This guy is ahead of the growth curve that Wayne Rooney was on by the time they reached the same number of senior appearances.
For comparison's sake, Rooney had 8 goals in 37 appearances in his first season at Everton while Ferguson is already on 14 goals after 33 total appearances for BHA (he was injured for a while last season too).
The second goal was lovely but the first was bad goalkeeping and the last lucky. Good young player still.
We are not that club anymore
That’s a mindset that just tolerates mediocrity.
fair fecks Pogue. Get a job in our scouting departament mateClickbait title aside, this kid does seem quite an interesting prospect. Scored his first senior goal for Brighton last night and Potter seems to rate him. Very big and strong for his age. Reminiscent of a certain someone
I wonder if he’ll end up at a big club soon?
A big club that is a bit short of prospects that play as a tradional #9, for example?
Yeah, feck it. He’s Irish. I admit it. I just want United to have Irish players again, dammit!
The club does, not me
That’s a pretty good summary. Awful keeping for first goal, second goal is insanely good, third huge deflection.Jesus
He's been hyped in Ireland since he was 14.
You can see highlights of his debut at 14 v Chelsea online in a preseason friendly.
I'm still not certain he'll go right to the top. There's a shortage of strikers though so I'm pretty certain he'll get a big move next summer.
