Rom was great obviously and so was Pienaar . Scottish Messi was a good sub but Del had lungs that even my geriatric wind bags would scoff at , Mirallas was a great minute in about ten thousand and Jelavic had his finishing ability coached out of him about two months after arriving . Barkley...

Wow, that's some fall from grace for us. Startling when you se it like that.

Club fell asleep after selling Lukaku. They've had plenty of opportunities to get a very good successor in.

I think the first 5 years under moshiri, we sold stones, lukaku, Barkley and a few others and I think our debt on spending was like 150/200mil . Basically 30/40mil a season, I can’t be bothered to check but it wasn’t a fortune This all started when talkSPORT would go on about this...

He cost £45m and had scored 5 premier league goals in 37 games when we bought him. A guy who scores 15 goals costs at least £80m.

I don't think he's saying that at all. Because a Beto or a Maupay isn't a 10-15 goals guy. A Richarlison is a clear upgrade on those two but isn't a Lukaku in terms of out and out goals. But he's capable of 10-15. Just to provide an example.

Let's get another Beto or Maupay instead then. Such small time thinking.

No mate, the Lukaku type goalscorer is a unicorn. Lukaku is a one off striker for us since the PL began. And in general, clubs at our level, hell, clubs outside the top 6 don’t have strikers who score consistently like he did for us (Vardy being a huge outlier for Leicester). We didn’t have a...

You do miss the point. We have needed a goal scorer since Lukaku left and have completely failed to find one despite spaffing money left right and centre. £25m buys a Beto type, £15m a Maupay type or Chermiti type. You talk as if there are better cheaper options that will come in, hit the ground...

...be completely unproven (Beto types). We know Ferguson has the ability to be a top class player at this level. He is as near to a sure thing as a club like us can get and would be a genuinely exciting Kanchelskis/Lukaku type signing. If we want quality they are going to come with baggage...

I was at the game when we won 5-1. And he came in at half time as d the game changed. He was the best player on the pitch at 18. Like there's an argument he would be the highest ceiling player we have signed since Lukaku

I'd be amazed if Moyes gets it over the line, tbh. But if TFG want to make a balls on the table statement signing this lad would be the ideal one to do that.

If it did come off would be nice to see us have a real striker again, first time since Lukaku.

Yeah I'm at the point were I'd take the risk. We'll end up otherwise with pretty much jobbers like we've had most of the last 25 years Lukaku aside. Ferguson is a one off chance to get a player who handled right could be very very good indeed and for years to come as well.

Don't remember anything over lots of the signings until they were done. Jelavic or Del, or Lukaku.

Tbf he was coached at CM when he was a youngster if i remember rightly

If this club had a Lukaku-esque striker that could put ~20 goals a season on the board every year for the first time in almost a decade no one would care about their work rate or hold up play or ball-trapping skills. That's what we've been crying out for for years, yet somehow we end up with...

I don't think he's a bad player, just don't think he's a natural striker, like Lukaku. I think he could of been great had we signed Vardy or Dembele to run off him. Don't think he's been trained properly since Carlo left.

you dont rate one of the players in the top 15 atleast goalsorers for us of all time. Makes sense.
