Evan Ferguson 08:10 - Jul 10 with 5258 views | tivo | Two separate people have told me we've firmed up interest in Ferguson over the last few days. A season long loan with a mandatory purchase on promotion. Seems like we're up against Roma but they've not made a formal approach, just noise. Would be an absolute steal for the Championship. |  | | |  |

If that's the case, not a chance! You're 100% right. |  | |  |

Colosseum or the Willis Building? I know where I’d rather be. |  |

Evan Ferguson on 08:38 - Jul 10 with 4729 views | Marshalls_Mullet | I don't think Brighton would put an obligation to purchase in (or agree to one). If he scores 20 goals in the Chamionship, they would see it as just part of his rehabilitation and want to develop him further. |  |

So does the Colosseum it's called no roof aircon. A chap once said to me with regards to Windsor Castle " Bloody silly place to build a castle right in Heathrow's flight path" |  | |  |

Air con keeps you cool - being out in the open can just make you feel hot. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Injuries, had a few and its checked his progress a bit. That plus the money they have bought in means they have proper cash to go shopping with |  |

We did well sorting out Tuanzebe's injury problems so I guess Ferguson would be worth the risk. Just as long as he is not signed as one of the 2 main strikers we need. What I mean is he will need to be our 3rd choice until he proves fitness. |  | |  |

If you believe the rumours... 2 years ago Brighton had him valued at £50m, last season they had dropped that to £30m-35m. That was based on just on his injury record but his ability as you say had gone backwards. They didn't have any takers, so loaned him out to West Ham. The reasoning was Potter when at Brighton had got him playing his best football, so if anyone could get that ability back Potter could. But Potter didn't improve him and even in training (rumours) he didn't look anything special, ability, timing, even strength was missing. Hopefully the kid gets back to form, but lots of fans worried about Hirst injury record are now championing a second injury prone striker using up a space in the squad of 25. I'm sure those same fans will be the first to moan if we're starting games with only one fit striker, AAH. |  | |  |

The tiny glimmer of hope - assuming we're interested of course - is I can't really remember a young British or Irish player going to Italy and making a name enough to court bigger leagues. He might look at his Irish mate Delap and see what a season in the Championship and then cementing the next in the PL and getting a huge move (yes, Chelsea are bigger than Roma nowadays) |  | |  |

He'll be another Calvin Phillips. often injured and won't get back to top form. We need to stop looking at injury prone players, the championship is 46 games thick and fast we need robust players. |  | |  |

True - I hadn’t realised he was that much younger than Delap, given all the senior football he had at Brighton originally. But that’s probably why he’s beyond us too. |  |

I think we can all agree Rory Delap isn't a viable option |  | |  |
