Supposedly Fabian Hurzeler doesn't think Evan Ferguson is where he needs to be yet... I'd be all over a loan for him if possible. Pay a fee, whatever.

Oh and Adebayo/Akpom would be good.
Interesting shout on Ferguson. Not sure they’ve got the depth up top to be loaning him out though?

They just signed Rutter from Leeds and don't have Europe to worry about this year - Ferguson has Welbeck, Rutter & Pedro in front of him right now.

No idea if it’s true but I heard he trained yesterday a will play tonight.

But like I said could all just be rumours

Only going off what I was told and longside said he had been told the same.

Could well be that there is no deal now so he has to train

So it's hearsay and not "defo true" then?

Ferguson on loan would be fantastic.
Another from Luton I like and would go for is Morris.
Gets himself about a bit and decent goal record last season

A deal for Akpom involving Weghorst looks a no brainier to me, but looks like WW is just another straight cash sale.

Forster is rumoured to be another buy now, pay later set-up. What are these all about? If they want the player, they can bloody pay up-front - especially if we don’t want to sell!

No. If Mellon wasn't injured and loaned out he'd have been the closest. Masara is more of a winger than a striker. Richardson more of a 10 and since he's not featured for weeks and wasn't on the bench at Sunderland I assume he's injured again too.
They said Nathan Tella was more of a winger, but it didn’t stop him scoring. Vernon Masara scored 21 goals in all competitions last season.

Tella came to us as a 23 year old with Premier League experience. Masara is 17 years old with 3rd tier U21/U18 experience. It's unfair to expect him to step up, by all means an opportunity off the bench but it's way too soon to ask him to become a regular starter.
