Evan Ferguson

You’re mixing your footix up. It’s the Mancs that are talking him up. He’s still a useless lump.

If you consider my posts on this “rants”, you’re a soft lad.

His glancing header to save a point against Chelsea where he arrived late into the box was sensational too.

That goal you’re thinking of was against Leicester. 7 goals in 16 games is very promising. Although there is the caveat that the two at the weekend were against League Two opposition. It’s very exciting to have a prospect like this filter through after watching contemporaries like Wales (Bale), Denmark (Eriksen), Norway (Haaland) etc.

Very early days for Ferguson though. Lads need to cool the beans as Davy would say. A €100 million move as being mooted here is highly unlikely and also not idyllic as he would be moving to a club where his gametime would be limited. Brighton is a perfect set of circumstances for Ferguson at present.

I would think Ferguson will be a serious upgrade on Robbie Keane.

Robbie scored 68 international goals for this country. He doesn’t get anywhere near enough respect for that.

Brighton is a great club. A solid footballing philosophy, not short termist, they give youth a chance, understanding supporters. Lovely part of the world too, the English Riviera and the South Downs on your doorstep, London not too far away but far enough away for it not to distract you. If you were a very talented 18 year old footballer with your head screwed on, you couldn’t be in a better place.

If we had peak-era Robbie Keane in the last 6 years or so, we’d have made a few more international tournaments

We have to temper expectations in the knowledge that itll be Hendrick and McLean supplying ammunition and not MacAllister and Mitoma

If there’s one man in football you’d want to supply ammunition it’d be James McClean.

A pity Connolly could not be tamed.

Any direct flights from Ireland to Brighton? It wouldnt be a bad option for a weekends tomfoolery and take in a game at the Amex.

[Cheasty]

Gatwick is only up the railway line from Brighton.

[caulifloweredneanderthal]

Very close to Gatwick. Maybe 30ish minutes on train?

[Thomas_Brady]

Brighton is very near Gatwick.

[peddlerscross]

Not so bad at all.

Sounds more appealing that Newcastle or Liverpool for a weekend which are all the rage.

I’ll never forget the biting cold in Newcastle on a weekend there in January 2017. It would cut you in two. I can fully understand since why none of the Wags want to live up there.

I’d say go to Gatwick and then 30ish minutes by train to Brighton

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

England clubs pretty average theae days

[StoneCold]

The footix getting carried away here

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

2 goals against grimbsy has them swooning

[Spidey]

You’ll get tomfoolery in Brighton alright
