Big Willie i imagine they're giving him 30,000 pounds a week. His mom and dad will sit him down and tell him to grow up and stop talking about passion and cleaning Gabriel's balls. money talks.

Claudius he’s never recovered from his knee injury. If he can’t play for shitty Brighton, why would he solve our problems. Will be a big white Sterling

Ugh then absolutely no

Big Willie

Heaven forbid he turns out good, we won't hear the end of it.

I'd take Ferguson on loan if we had the space but we don't. I'd use most of that time to test his fitness and try to figure out if his issues are long term or not. If he could get fit he'd be an ideal CF to develop but that's a big if.

    Seen more rumours of Chelsea being close to Duran.

    Hmmm can't rely on his availability unfortunately. Would be a massive gamble. Can't see it happening.

    The fact that Brighton supposedly feel now is the right time to cash in on him is a warning sign in and of itself.

      Counting down the days when this shitty window shuts. Most annoying window of recent times. Don’t expect anything to happen outside of the Norwegian kid.

      Don Pacifico True but Brighton also have invested a fair bit in different strikers so might need the money. They've not really sold any players for big money either since Caicedo as far as I can remember and their whole business model is built around these big sales.

      Loan with option would be ideal, can properly assess the player. But on a permanent would be a big gamble, need to do quite a thorough medical to make sure there are no underlying issues. Sometimes players just get unlucky.

        JazzG They've not really sold any players for big money either since Caicedo as far as I can remember and their whole business model is built around these big sales.

        That's my point - the fact they think now is a good time to sell suggests they think his stock won't get higher than it is now.

        I just feel like what's the point of going for Ferguson if we are likely in a good spot to get Sesko this summer. Ferguson may cost a little less and is a little over a year younger but also doesn't seem to have the physical traits that Sesko has, nor the production over a sustained period of time. I'd rather be going after a different profile if we feel like we are going to come back for Sesko in the summer.

        He's the flavor of the week for me but I don't see why we aren't testing Bayern's resolve for Mathys Tel. Tall, fast, and a good finisher who has looked good whenever he's played for them, but doesn't have a ton of playing time at the moment. He's the type of opportunistic signing that I think is made for the January window, even if we would have to pay a little more for what he is projected to be, as opposed to his current level. I'd be up for taking a gamble on a player like him at a higher price than an injury prone Ferguson personally. I hope we are at least asking about him.

        You will be filled with regret when Ferguson is playing cards in physio with Jesus, Timber and Rosicky while Seskso is scoring big goals for one of our rivals next season. Would rather hold.

        You can read his Tel? Poor poker face.

        Would Tel solve anything for us? I don't see how it'll help us close out the season. He's another longer term project

          naz I dunno, but his jib is pretty well cut.
