    In all seriousness if we don't seriously consider looking at Evan Ferguson we're ****ing mad. He's 20 years old and we could quite easily snap him up for £30m I reckon. He's exactly the type of player that would absolutely flourish under Howe/Tindall I reckon and in 3-5 years time could be well worth at least double that if he can develop and get back to some of the form he showed when he first burst on to the scene. I'd sure as **** rather spend £30m on him than what is being bandied about for a 29 year old Wissa. Wages wouldn't be stupid money either, at least not until he's smashing them in and doing the business and other teams start sniffing around him and then we might need to give him a bump. I'd say he'd be a more than acceptable upgrade on Wilson, i'm stunned nobody else seems to be sniffing but maybe there's a reason why, hence why we aren't.....**** knows.

    Think I saw somewhere that Ferguson was agreeing a deal with Roma?

    More idiots claiming it’s cryptic. More concerning that one of our “board” barely works for the club.

    Wasn't it said a couple of months ago he'd be working on the recruitment team?

    Liverpool have failed to get Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak from Newcastle in the past year.

    Think I must be missing with some people's lives in for Ferguson. Osula has more promise.

    Maybe but no harm having both right.

    You’re all for youth players I believe. Let’s give them both a chance.

    We have Osula and Neave.
    I live in west ham central - most people I know are not rating Ferguson and say he has an attitude issue.

    We need a bit of experience. Or a top top youngster.

    If they say he has an attitude problem then fair enough. That’s just a shame because he looked class when he scored his hatrick against us.

    Dunno think either way it’s a bit dim to post something like that.

    That CB shortlist - Atalanta say Scalvini isn’t for sale, and Valencia literally just sold Mosquera to Arsenal. That leaves a bloke who can’t displace Lloyd Kelly.

    He’s only just turned 22 and is primarily right sided so references to Kelly aren’t really relevant. Looks like we might be going for a much younger player rather than established top players so Roly should be happy

    If he’s genuinely capable of being RCB then all good.

    Savona currently has an ankle injury from the CWC. Expected back 10th September so probably misses the 1st 4 matches of the season. This may make him cheaper though.
    Worth noting he played primarily at fullback (RB:27, RCB:6, LB:3, RM:1) last season which was his breakout season in Serie A. The previous year he was in the Juve youth setup, where he did play primarily at RCB.

    All his RCB appearances (that i have found) have been in a back 3

    Various reports indicating that Wissa wants to join Thomas Frank at Spurs.

    If true, then it's another one we simply shouldn't waste any time or effort on.
