Nathan Ferguson?

Some chatter that we might be thinking of offering him a cheap short term deal or maybe a “pay as you play” type contract.

Personally, this is a no brainer as far as I’m concerned, the lad is talented.

If it’s going to have little financial impact on us I think it’d be a good deal for both sides and if and when fit, very useful cover for Furlong.

A fit Ferguson is a nailed on starter.

Don’t disagree where you are coming from but a big no from me. This Billy Bollox thought he was bigger than the club so he can go f uck
himself.

We have been ruthless with outgoings and some have gone for a clear reason!

Two left in my eyes for the clear out and to get them off the pay roll - Wallace and Dike who could be fit in 2026!

He was a left back Mick and he’s crocked isn’t he? That’s why Palace got rid.

No. He was a centre back who was better in both fullback positions than Townsend and Furlong than when he was with us. He'd have probably made a better centre forward than Weimann too.

You’re always the first one on here to say that people should move on and get better wages and look after themselves and their family.

He did exactly that and made the right decision given what’s happened to him?

So what’s the issue?

When it comes to academy players I have total respect if they are like Fellows - stay grounded - prove yourself by playing every week and like Fellows don’t be a Billy Big Bollox by driving a flash car. I saw him drive I think it was a Fiesta into the car park last year. He’s now proved he’s talented so if he were to go for the right fee - I would honestly wish him well!

It seems the young black players see the pound notes first - Ferguson being one. Remember Izzy Brown who rushed to Chelsea - well what did he do?

Even Berahino who could have been a sensational player - greed - being flash - cheating on his wife and drink ruined him.

That’s the issue!

I don’t particularly want to see him back.

All of those players made the right decision financially.

Easy for us who are better off say rather than to appreciate what backgrounds these lads might consider me from and what family pressures they’re under.

Traditionally, we don’t play kids anyway so it’s been a no brainer for them.

Earn fk all at Albion or go to a big club on maybe £5k a week.

Total no brainer if you’re from a deprived background.

You contradict yourself with almost every post. He did precisely the right thing for him and his family. As it turned out this was even more the case given his injury. Also, why differentiate by colour? It’s not only black players who chase the money as you well know.

Your view and you are right if it was chasing money short term. Take Fellows he’s a consistent starter and absolutely proved himself in a tough championship league. Proving yourself at a young age is different from unproven but with talent. Fellows is worth over 10 million now and most likely will make it not just short term but long term.

Unbelievable you have brought up colour as I was merely pointing out three black players and yes greed is everywhere! Fellows though ( Mr/He/They/It ) will go on to great things and deservedly so!
