Might be interesting to keep an eye on how he progresses compared to those nine.
He doesn’t have a stupid sounding name which probably doesn’t help his case either.Quote:

There's always a bias towards the bigger countries in these lists. When Ferguson went over to Brighton it was obvious from the off that he was the star of their youth setup. But when the Guardian did their next gen thing where they pick the best prospect from an age grade for each Premier League club, they picked an English kid called Jack Hinshelwood as the best prospect from Brighton instead of Ferguson. He still hasn't kicked a ball for their senior team I don't think. But then the Guardian's success rate with their next gen lists is laughably poor.
Imagine how Caoimhin Kelleher looks to non IrishQuote:

What a dopy thing to post.Quote:

I'm in no rush to see him leaving Brighton but I'm so intrigued to see what the valuation put on him is. Transfermrkt currently have him at 10m. Not hard to imagine the figuring continuing to rise if himself and Brighton keep going the way they have been.
Big game for Brighton on Saturday vs Brentford, hoping he gets a start.
He was at £1m up until the update a week ago. In reality £50m probably wouldn't get him this summer (I very much doubt he'll want to move anywhere anyway). If he continues his current trajectory and has even average luck with injuries I wouldn't be surprised if it's a nine figure transfer fee when it happens.
That would make him twice as valuable as Erling Haaland.Quote:

I love hearing these stories and so do all Irish fans. We aren't used to it. But it is no surprise really. Strikers of his profile in terms of overall profile (age, ability, skillset etc) are nowhere to be found. Is the last Premiership striker to burst onto the scene with an incredible profile like this Mason Greenwood?Quote:

I've be more surprised if United, Roma, etc, were not monitoring Ferguson to be honest. They monitor pretty much every player across the top five leagues in Europe.
I'm monitoring him myself and I couldn't afford to pay a week of his wages ! !Quote:
