Option....
Pretty standard these days. Pretty much exactly the same deal as Rashford to Barcelona. If it goes well Roma will have got a bargain, if not they don't have to buy any we'll know a bit more about Ferguson

In which case it sounds like Brighton have been the loser in the negotiation. If he's a success playing for a big club in a top European league, they sell him at the end of the season for less than what his value will be at that point. If he's a failure he ends up back with them with his transfer value further reduced.

If he fails he'd still only be 21. Liverpool paying 95 million for Ekitike who was crap until last season at age 23

Roma fans doing the flightradar tracking thing with his plane, which has apparently just landed in Rome Ciampino airport.

Could Evan Ferguson double-up, and do a job as Vice-Pope while he is out there !
Why don't we have a Vice-Pope anyway ? !

Because publicly, at least, the Vatican doesn't like to be seen promoting vice.

yes seems to a lot riding on the two greek teenagers they signed, unless they buy someone else. Welbeck will need to stay fit. Would enjoy watching Brighton in a relegation battle.

Well it's pretty clear that they have gone all in on Hurzeler - its his team now. Bloom generally makes good decisions - he hit the nail on the head with Houghton - got use from Potter before he got found out (and managed to get compo from Chelsea in the process) - DeZerbi was good while he was there - but I am not convinced about Hurzeler, I think opposition coaches were figuring him out in the second half of the season. It will be interesting to see what happens next season at the club.

Brighton have sold a lot of their players this summer for what seems like under market value. Adingra was incredibly cheap. He is a really talented and exciting winger who was excellent during Afcon and has been really impressive for Brighton. Sold for about £21m. Barco looked very good during his brief stint in the Brighton team before being sent out on loan. He was sold this summer for the same amount that they paid for him from Boca juniors. Estupinan has just agreed to join AC Milan for €17m, when you look at what Liverpool paid for Kerkez and what City paid for Ait Nouri, it seems very low for someone who was one of the better left backs in the league.
All a bit strange

odd alright. estupian was something of an FPL legend. i wouldn't have thought there is a FFP type reason with all the money they've made with player sales.

Encouraged with the move after listening to James Horncastle talking about it on second captains. Thinks he will get good opportunities in an attacking team with a manger who generally gets the best out of his forwards.

Presumably this move will be announced today. I think yesterday was some kind of anniversary celebration day for Roma which is possibly why it has been held over for a day.

Reports are that Roma are paying Ferguson's wages and €3million loan fee with an option to buy for a further €37m at the end of the season.

This an unbelievable deal for Roma. If he doesn't perform, they can send him back, if Gasperini can get him back to what he looked like he was going to be a few years ago, they'll at least double their money. At West Ham he was brought in just to give them options from the bench while with this deal, it's in Roma's interest to actually develop him. Gasperini has form for getting the best out of forward playes so hopefully this goes well for Evan

Seems to be banging them in against the Civitavecchia Under 14s, or whoever it is that he's playing against in a training match tonight.
Here is a video of him scoring a lot of goals against some very poor opposition.

In fairness there was still a couple of very sharp looking finishes in there. The 4th goal in particular looked like Ferguson of 2 seasons ago

Watching this friendly game against Kaiserslautern. Roma wearing that beautiful third kit. Ferguson just nicked one off the keeper and tapped it in. Looks sharp, seems to have gotten back that extra yard he was short of with West Ham. Some observations from the first twenty, he’s deployed purely up top, there’s no dropping into midfield to collect it. He’s sitting on the shoulder of the centre half and making little runs in behind and finding space. He hasn’t really been found yet, but I suppose his new team mates are getting used to him. Out of possession he’s man-marking the centre-half. Only coming back into his own half to defend corners so far.All very positive.

If you are good enough a forward, you shouldn't have to do too much defending ~ The opposition should be far more worried, about defending against you !

Hopefully it goes well for him, would be great to have an Irish player playing and scoring regularly at a huge European club. I remember last season listening James Horncastle talking to James Richardson about Roma and how it's the hardest club in Italy to play for. They were saying about 80% of Rome supports them, with newspapers and radio stations run by fans talking roma 24/7. Fans put massive pressure on players but what an opportunity for him, live in Rome and play in front of 62 thousand every home game.

Ferguson has the potential to hit the ground running in Italy and tear it up for the season.

Wouldn't it be nice. We could argue about whether it was more he's that good or Serie A has fallen that far. Would beat the hell out of arguing over whether his injuries are still holding him back or whatever. Maybe we could have an Evan Ferguson goal of the season competition, voting for them in a bracket.

Talk of Roma now selling Dovbyk, not sure will this mean that they see Ferguson as the number one or will they bring in another forward.

He was their only player to get double figures last season with 17, they was more than twice what any other player managed.
