But even at that they are willing to play both centrally and they can also play Pedro wide.

Starts today Vs Newcastle.

Goal for him. Slams it home after the keeper parries away (probably spills - but it was a blemmer) a shot.

Proper poacher's goal. Love it. Keeper maybe distracted by the defender in front trying to block? Not Ferguson's problem anyway!

**SkStu** · 02/09/2023, 5:25 PM

He�s been a real handful for the Newcastle defence in the first half. Getting the better of Dan Burn frequently. Strong as an ox and great link up play.

**SkStu** · 02/09/2023, 5:56 PM

Gets his second. Absolute belter from about 25 yards

**SkStu** · 02/09/2023, 5:57 PM

Stunning strike. Places it in the corner from about 25 yards. Unreal.

**JR89** · 02/09/2023, 5:58 PM

�150m bid incoming from Chelsea this January/next summer.

**pineapple stu** · 02/09/2023, 6:00 PM

Oh my days - hat-trick.

I understand the Fati signing now. He's there to learn a thing or two off Ferguson

**Trequartista20** · 02/09/2023, 6:01 PM

An incredible talent. Our once in a generation world-class player.

I just hope our having an player of his ability to call upon won't be wasted and he gets to play in a major tournament for us.

**SkStu** · 02/09/2023, 6:01 PM

Hat trick. Took a deflection but I�m giving it to him

Yep. This has all the hallmarks of a proper break-out performance too. How do you put him back on the bench after this?

**JR89** · 02/09/2023, 6:06 PM

One for you Tets, who was the last Irish player to score a hat trick in the top flight and last Irish teenager?

I think says everything that needs said.

**SkStu** · 02/09/2023, 6:10 PM

Looks like he has injury�hobbling a bit but still on.

**texidub** · 02/09/2023, 6:13 PM

That third goal.. he made the goalie look silly. A joy to watch.

Jon Walters v Stoke in 2015. Leon Best before that in 2011, and then a hat-trick of Robbie Keane hat-tricks - two in 2003 and the other in 2009.

If the moderately talented 22-year-old Brennan Johnson is worth �55m after scoring 8 PL goals, just how much is Ferguson worth? Is there a better striker in his age category in Europe?
