Dan McDonnell is right. This is about maintaining and enhancing the value and the player. Rutter, Welbeck and Joao Pedro are rotating between them. Ferguson has scored a couple of goals now in the last couple of weeks. Both goals showed quality. He can play himself into form and bring himself on with a loan.
Will be interesting to see where. Leicester is manager dependent. Fulham could be an interesting move. Reports in Italy linking Juventus.
Rangers are reportedly chasing his signature according to the Scottish papers. I'd say Bohs have a greater shot of re-signing him than Rangers do. Celtic also linked
Well, Barry Ferguson is his dad after all.Quote:

The manager talking as though it's completely his decision, which it most likely isn't. If he wants him around for the second half of the season he needs to start playing him. Brighton as a club know what they're doing, if they feel he's losing value to them they'll loan him out regardless of what their manager wants. Managers always look at things in the short term and want extra cover in positions, but clubs like Brighton tend to take a longer term view.
Clubs last longer than managers ~ obviously.Quote:

I agree - from a business perspective you want to boost Ferguson's value and you do that by getting him more playing time - either at Brighton or out on loan. There are at least half a dozen PL clubs that would benefit from a striker of Ferguson's quality - no way he goes to Scotland.Quote:

Brighton know Ferguson's potential and would want way more than West Ham would be willing to spend (and Brighton don't need to sell). The kid only turned 20 a few weeks ago - there is no rush with him (from a Brighton or Ireland perspective). Wellbeck is 34 and is playing the best football of his career - but he won't keep Ferguson out indefinitely.
I think a loan move would be really good for him. He came on tonight for 20 minutes and just looked lost.
There was four or five plays where he had wide open pockets to run into but just held back.
A loan to an attack minded championship club could work wonders.

Thanks 12th man, but it was a rhetorical question really, a poor attempt at humour!
It was a long time ago so you might have been only a gossun when SF were around.:)Quote:

Been linked with a loan move to Leeds.

He's been linked with a heap of teams. Plenty Premiership ones too. Permanent. Loan.Quote:

I personally think he'd be better off dropping down a division, he needs games and championship clubs play a crazy amount of them. Leeds also play good football and create tons of chances.Quote:
