Evan Ferguson - Top Irish Prospect

[RuudTom83]

So far adding Zirkzee to the squad hasn't really worked out.

Adding another prospect in Ferguson feels like a repeat, which doesn't mean it wouldn't work, but I feel it would be safer to add a experience player to be used more as a sub and mentor to Hojlund.

I don't think he's favoured at Brighton. If Brighton don't think he's good enough, then why would United think he's good enough?

He's just turned 20. That is no age for a striker. No reason why he wont be a star in the next 5 years.

One year younger than Højlund.

Posts that were called out for being silly then pivot to "it was just a joke!".

It was silly, that was the point!

How's his first touch? Can he win headers and bully Defenders? Bring others into play?

I consider these traits to be vital for any striker regardless of scoring record. Hence my not rating of Lukaku and criticism of Hojland.

I guess I'm just used to Rooney, RVP, Ruud.

These are his strengths. He's good in the air, is technically strong and definitely has the ability to link well with others. Played a fantastic through ball for Sammy Smodzics only for the goal to be ruled offside. Bullied Saliba off the ball for one of his first goals last year against Arsenal.

I think he's quite a high IQ player and so expect him to blossom later in his career when he figures out how to cope with his reduced mobility from the injuries he's suffered. He's not even slow when he hits full pace but he's quite slow off the mark.

Would be flabbergasted if this guy ends up in League 1 as one commenter said that half of Ireland is apparently thinking - he's our biggest prospect in decades so wouldn't agree that that's a common opinion at all. Was as certain a prospect for the top as you could have before his recent injuries. Now its on to Mason Melia as the next great Irish hope.

I see him as a bit of an all-rounder, without being exceptional at any one thing.

He's big and physical, but agile and technical. Quick enough but definitely not pacey.

Good finisher off either foot, good in the air. Good dribbler, good at link up play.

He's also quite handsome and charismatic. He's quite funny in interviews. Also seems laid-back but very disciplined and determined to succeed.

Ideally he'd go on loan to the Championship.

I actually think he'd be perfect for Wrexham although L1 is below his level.
