The flat track bully up front would've done well to be 5th choice striker in the late 90's/early 00's


 

For the past few years we are lucky enough to have plenty of world class options all over the pitch, especially in attack when all firing. 

To not win anything would be as bad as the Beckham, Rooney and Rio class of 04/06 if not worse.

And tried to be a smartarse with the penalty takers

May even have won in 2022 if Kane didn’t bottle his pen v France 

Spain were the better team in 2024 but picking the lazy cսnt Saka instead of Bowen meant poor Kyle Walker had to try and deal with the Spanish full back AND the match winner Williams with no assistance whatsoever

I dont want Bowen getting injured so happy for the overrated players to get starts or appear as subs. Take Eze, you watch him now get more sub appearances or starts now he’s at one of the rich 6 outfits. He’s no better now than when he was at Palace.

That said a lot more about Potter than it ever did about Ferguson who was available for near enough every fixture. The manager failed to utilise him whilst we had him mainly kept on the Bench as we struggled to play well and score.

We really did give up a great opportunity to get him in on the relative cheap in todays market for decent young Strikers and make him a mainstay in the side for years to come. When he went to a Club like Roma though in the Summer, it was of no surprise to me knowing how good he can be when regularly playing.

And of all the Clubs to be picky over Strikers, West Ham especially under GSB aint the one to turn our noses up at Ferguson with his ability as a specialised No. 9 at his age. The way he plays he's made for a Club like ours up front and I really don't think it would have cost us much at the time this summer to prize him away from Brighton.

No one wanted him to succeed more than me,, he fitted the profile of what we need. From a selfish point of view I live in Ireland and having an Irish player in the team means more live matches -:Saturday 3pm -  with west ham are shown here. However he looked heavy and sluggish. Players must take some personal responsibility for their physical condition, so yes I did think he stank.

He played 150 Minutes in total having been available for all the matches bar of course his parent Club Brighton. He also looks the same as he does now. 

More heavy indeed..
