We can’t loan him, we already have two loan signings in Neto and Sterling.
One of Sterling’s few redeeming features this season will probably be his presence making us avoid an even more ridiculous signing in Ferguson.
Whatever his potential was, he’s not reaching it here and not in a the short period we’d need him to. He might have a Van Persie-like journey to overcome his struggles and reach the top of his game, but the opportunity cost isn’t worth it for us.
Gazza M Need to buy Neto or terminate Sterling to get him on loan. Just pay for Neto if needed and get this guy if a deal can be done. Has to have an option to buy though otherwise no point.
Ferguson is injury prone and he might end up being a total dud but he also has imo the potential in him to be one of the best strikers in the world. He's 20 years old not a 30 year washed up player. He's had one major injury but these injuries can take months to recover from, then factor in lack of preseason it is understandable why he doesn't look up to speed yet. I mean look at Jesus, looked washed up and just before his injury looked like he was getting back to a decent level.
People want to drop £150m on Isak but his injury record isn't exactly perfect either. Realistically we ain't gonna sign a top striker this window so I'd definitely want us to take a punt on him.
Also murmers about Matthias Tel
lorddulaarsenal That would be a good signing, the rumours suggest loan.
As we get closer to the end of the window other options will pop up.
lorddulaarsenal Tel would be a great addition, even if its on loan. We need bodies and he looks to be a great prospect. His stature and style reminds me a bit of Leao before he went to Milan. Would hope if it were a loan that we could put in an option to buy of course but I won't be picky at this point.
Love Ferguson's potential but just don't see how bringing in an injury prone 20 year old on loan right now would help us at all. If it were a permanent deal or loan with option then maybe I'd consider it but it would have to be a cut price deal since he hasn't shown much the last two years after looking like the next big thing previously.
Only time will Tel if he signs and does the biz
At this point, I'd even take recalling Fabio Vieira from loan just to have another option off the bench. Looking at that bench (admittedly without Odegaard due to illness and Merino due to a knock) and seeing that we only had Sterling to bring in as an attacker is dire. Vieira is not the solution but he can at least play a little bit and would be better than nothing. Wish Nelson wasn't hurt because he'd be another I'd think about recalling with our current lack of attackers.
Not sure why we'd be looking at Ferguson. When was his last appearance for Brighton?
A fit Ferguson would net lorry loads for us but just don’t have confidence he’ll ever be consistently available
We need to get Mathys Tel in this window, even if it's on loan. Perfect type of forward for us in that he can play across the front line. Ideally we would get an option to buy of course but at this point, I'd even take a straight loan.
Dula’s guy says no striker signing 
I’ve lost the extra l!
what we know about Arteta is he likes to stick to his plan - and he's had Sesko, Isak and/or Williams in his sights for over a year now. so i expect he won't want to compromise those deals. If we assume Sesko is most likely, and would come in the summer, then the deals that probably make sense now are something like returning Vieira and loaning Vlahovic. If we can somehow trick Klopp and move Sesko forward, that would be best.
They’ve put out the price they want for him.
