Evan Ferguson - Top Irish Prospect
- Thread starter Pogue Mahone
- Start date
How would you know, are you a mind reader?
We all know he's Irish. It's in the thread title for those that didn't
Then say Premier league tax, not English tax. Because when buying English players within the Premier league then is a preconceived notion then is an extra cost.
This - you never hear the French tax or the Brazilian tax in comparison.
I believe When buying any player within the PL there is any extra cost. I used the term, calm yout tits
Yet he said British and you jumped straight in to interpret what he said as being sarcastic. Not sure how you would know that. Are you guys mates? Not trying to smart about it but as a casual poster I don't interpret other posters comments.
You don't think if we tried to buy isak from Newcastle for example they'd want more from us than say RM?
I could be wrong but I thought he was taking the piss out of my "mistake"
I am calm. I just pointed out the term to use.
Ferguson has a British passport so it’s not factually incorrect to say he’s British. Let’s not jump on someone who doesn’t know the political intricacies to score points
Yep and I've corrected it. I was talking about his club. Not his nationality.
The same way they are selling another player for 111 mil to a rival club if we or any other PL team want him itl cost a bit more than someone else.
Nobody would say "English tax" for us buying Isak from Newcastle.
I'm from NI. Trust me I know them. I wasn't talking about his nationality but his club. I've corrected it now anyway. Wrong ususgae of the term
Try telling him that.
Corrected it. I meant PL tax
I've got one. Wouldn't consider myself British or English either
Aye, bizarre statement.
You're all good. The angry emoji was more tongue in cheek because I thought you were taking the piss
Lineker saying Spurs should take a punt on him. Would be big pressure on him though replacing Kane. Not sure if it would be good move at this moment. Another season at Brighton would do him better before moving anywhere IMO
I will next time I see him.
Complete slip of the tongue (or the typing equivalent). It didn't even register with me what i had said until I seen the other post saying "British tax".You're all good. The angry emoji was more tongue in cheek because I thought you were taking the piss
The point I think is correct, if the sell to a team in the PL it will be an astronomical amount.
Also brighton have nooooo need to sell right now.
They can try but didn't kane go for 85mil stg or so? I don't even think Brighton would come with a counter if they bid that
They probably should but they would need to understand that Brighton absolutely don't need the cash and so they would need to start by taking every penny they got for Kane and then add minimum 25M as an opening bid. That would still probably get knocked back.
It is factually incorrect as he is from Bettystown in County Meath. But you go ahead and tell him he's British
I was sarcastic but thought you might have been as well.
Yeah he’s Irish don’t worry. I just didn’t like a pile on. But your point just now is bizarre as you’re saying people born outside of Ireland can’t be Irish?
Don't worry,.it was my own fault. I think it's been established what I actually meant by now, I'd hope
I am not saying that at all, and I wasn't trying to be smart with the guy. He was raised in Ireland, played for Bohs and is an Irish International. Not sure how you were reading that into what I said.
Lineker should know that the days of "taking a punt" on a PL player like Ferguson are over. You either get priced out forever like Zaha or you move for mega money and the expectations that come with it after a drawn out saga
Yep. Any young player with big potential coming through will cost a ridiculous amount
£100m is not a punt.
Don’t know why people are talking like Brighton would sell him for less than an obscene fee.
Just curious on what grounds he is entitled to a British passport? Aren’t both his parents Irish?
I think his mother is English. That’s why he didn’t have to wait until he is 18 to join Brighton.
Absolutely. They've no need to and the player is by no stretch pushing for it, the opposite in fact it seems. They'll take their chances on him going for a massive fee next summer or the one after. I don't think that's changed with the Caceido/Mac Alister money either. I reckon it would have been exactly the same had this been day one of the window.
A lot of the bigger PL clubs still need a striker next summer. Utd, Arse, Spurs, Chelsea, maybe Liverpool. Can easily see a bidding war where he goes for £150m or something ridiculous if he keeps this trajectory up.
I don't think he's in any rush either. He seems to have a good plan for his career which likely doesn't involve leaving before he nailed a starting spot for Brighton.
Well if holjund turns out good surely we don’t ?
