Guys, don't think the ferguson rumour is too way out, our mid has been superb, Kamara and Aribo will be big money targets, Davis is the brain, but reqs game management. we are a club that req to sell, Ferguson may already be a rangers acquisition, non officially.
08 Nov 2020 11:28:46
Perhaps a slight agreement as part of the Mccrorie deal? 1st refusal and the chance to match any bid? Ferguson would be a good signing. Couldn’t replace Kamara though. Diff type of player but definetely a great prospect.
08 Nov 2020 13:43:19
I’d like to see Ferguson ultimately replace Arfield. I think Arfield has a few years left, those years could be vital to Ferguson’s development. if we sign him!
But IMO would be a good signing.
08 Nov 2020 17:40:05
Mince. We don't do 'non official' signings, we're not a club that requires to sell no matter what the tims think, and Ferguson wouldn't be in front of at least five of our midfield players.
09 Nov 2020 10:41:24
thoroughly expect us to go after ferguson at the end of the season if he keeps his good form.
10 Nov 2020 19:10:46
Could do a lot worse. I reckon he would make a great successor to either Davis or arfield. Has been improving every season for Aberdeen and I recon could get even better at us. I'm not saying he would walk straight into our team but could be moulded into a top class box to box midfielder. He has goals in his game includinglong range shooting, works hard, gets about the pitch, does the dirty side of the game and has decent distribution. I was told at start of the season that there is a gentleman's agreement that was made when mccrorie went up there. The deal would see us wave his fee and get a reduced fee for Ferguson.
07 Nov 2020 13:11:29
Lewis Ferguson joining at end of season.
Foregoing fee due from the Sheep for McCrorie; £2m payment to be made by us. We retain sell on clause when McCrorie sold by them.
07 Nov 2020 13:50:52
Says who?
07 Nov 2020 16:10:23
Don't need him whatsoever bankie. He wouldn't get near our midfield and he's not good enough for rangers, as far as i'm concerned.
07 Nov 2020 16:47:54
We might need him if we sell a few for big money. think the boy would flourish with better players round him.
07 Nov 2020 17:16:46
Lewis Ferguson is the best young Scottish player in our league and would cut it its in his blood sgl arfeild and Davis getting older as well so to think rangers don't have one eye on the future and ruling out this deal is just madness . if wee don't sign Ferguson it will be like Celtic not signing mcginn for peanuts a massive blunder.
07 Nov 2020 17:24:35
I'm not a fan as well.
To be honest I've only seen him against Rangers and in the last couple of games against us I've not been impressed.
07 Nov 2020 20:10:50
What makes you think this midfield will be the same one next season, highly unlikely imo, and if Gerard thinks Ferguson is a good young midfielder then nobody should know better, I’m happy to see him come to rangers, and I think he will be a massive success.
07 Nov 2020 21:13:34
If it's true, he better get used to sitting on the bench if we don't sell anyone.
If we win the league, qualify for the champs league, then you would think we'll have a wee bit more money to add quality to the starting 11. Would Ferguson enhance our team and take us to a higher level? No!
07 Nov 2020 21:32:51
Can see where Bankie is coming from and it might just make sense? why loan Mc Corrie for a season and be sold the next, another Fergie at Rangers.
07 Nov 2020 21:53:56
Seriously small chance nobody will be sold mate but if we replace like with like we will be fine, just can’t help thinking it’s a helluva long way to get before talk of winning anything.
07 Nov 2020 22:30:42
One of the best young midfielders in Scotland that’s FACT not an opinion FACT and some of our fans don’t think he is good enough.
I for one hope he signs as we should’ve signing up the best young talent in Scotland.
Reigning young player of the year.
07 Nov 2020 22:46:44
Lets not beat around the bush here guys! Lewis Ferguson gets continually quoted by many as a possible future rangers player because of who he is,
as he's not rangers class imo anyway. If it wasn't for the continual quotes of who his dad is and his uncle barry, a lot wouldn't give him a thought about being anywhere near good enough for rangers. I'll repeat, lewis ferguson isn't good enough to get near a starting slot in our midfield, simple as that for me. Forget the sentiment fellow bears!
07 Nov 2020 23:12:25
I agree with Gersdaft I could see maybe Kamara or Aribo moving on and I really think Ferguson would be a great addition to our squad. He would add great energy to what we already have and tbh the number of games we will be involoved in the next 12-18 months there will be plenty of opportunities.
08 Nov 2020 03:56:22
I recall a lot of fans saying kamara wasn't going to be good enough, and although i don't remember I'd imagine plenty said the same about naismith, boyd or even novo so I'd say trust the manager, ferguson most definitely ain't better than what we have atm however some players kick on when they play with a higher calibre of player.
08 Nov 2020 08:09:48
If he's one of the best in Scottish football, he does a bloody good job of hiding it when he plays against us! It's maybe unfair of me to think he's not good enough as all I am basing it on is the games against us as I don't watch any other games Aberdeen are involved in.
If our manager sees something in him, and the rumours are true, then he must be given a chance as he knows a helluva lot more about this than me and every other doubter.
08 Nov 2020 08:19:18
Win the league and we will have to sell a couple of players. Ferguson would be a good choice for me.
08 Nov 2020 10:31:14
Ryan Jack came from Aberdeen and look how he’s progressed at us. I would like Ferguson to be a ranger but whether he gets the game time to develop is another question. In my opinion I’d have said he was on par talent wise with McCrorie and Docherty and they were never given a chance by Gerrard so is the gaffer really interested or is this just tabloids trying to spin a story because of his parentage?
08 Nov 2020 10:54:17
Yip win league etc or not players will be sold next summer or maybe 1 or 2 in january so players like ferguson or who ever gers are looking at lundstam etc will be needed.
08 Nov 2020 11:28:24
Coops you were touting alan Campbell not long ago 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 who couldn't lace Ferguson's boots btw.
08 Nov 2020 12:03:00
SG loyal before coldo gives me a row I know it's your opinion on the quality of a player and whether u like someone or not but I've always found the term 'not rangers class' quite silly. As mentioned he's the spl young player of the season and is more often than not Aberdeen's best player. He can only do what he's doing up there. He will never be rangers class until he gets a chance to prove himself. Playing with better players shows whether u can hack it or not. Players are signed on form and he's done all he can do at Aberdeen.
That might be his level but the fact is no one will ever know unless he gets a chance.
08 Nov 2020 14:52:26
Totally agree 55 and easy tiger I have no doubt what SGL is on about you would think he would know a good midfielder when he sees one as he played at a high level 🤭.
08 Nov 2020 15:11:16
“ not rangers class, yet you say dykes, Campbell are, , mmm, and the boy doesn’t make “ continuous quotes” about his family, he answers questions and occasionally speaks about his family connections to Rangers, so would I, and I would expect my son too as well, if I had one, why on earth would you begrudge a Rangers supporter that right SGL, shocking, jealousy imo,
Of course the boy would talk about his family, being not one, but two Rangers legends, shame you prefer Australian blawhards.
08 Nov 2020 19:31:29
He wouldn't get near our midfield and allan campbell tore him a new a**e in the last motherwell v aberdeen remember guys. We would need to sell 3 of our best midfielders for lewis ferguson to have any smouldering chance of getting near a starting berth at rangers. What I said Tomthumb12 was dykes would have done a good job for us as a squad player and campbell was touted, i didn't say he would get in our midfield. Remember we've got zungu to still come into the reckoning 🤔 Nobody will convince me otherwise in my thinking that its who he is with a lot on here, that makes some want him! He's nowhere near good enough.
08 Nov 2020 20:11:55
Allan campbell is gash coops haha, what's campbell ever done. Ferguson is twice the player of campbell man be serious. You've creamed over jamie Walker lewis moult chris cadden scott allan and dykes but ferguson isn't good enough 🤣🤣🤣.
08 Nov 2020 20:46:11
Ferguson is guff Herewego55 guff mate.
08 Nov 2020 23:03:26
Very very strange things to say about the guy, being a midfielder yourself i find it ludicrous to say ferguson is " guff" if he's guff what bracket do you put yourself in ? Its a fair question coops, I played for over 20 years and I can assure you he is a long long way from being guff mate, and I honestly believe he will be a Rangers player soon and if that's correct then what you're saying is that Steven gerard doesn't know what a good midfielder looks like? I don't think that's right, and I also don't believe for a minute people want him at Rangers because of his family, codswallop in fact.
08 Nov 2020 23:39:45
My view on this is he could be a long term successor for either davis or arfield. Bringing him in at the end of this season would make sense as I think davis has next season then will be a bit part player. That would give him a season or 2 to get an education from some top class CMs including SG and GM.
09 Nov 2020 00:10:22
Aye n alan Campbell's the new Kante 🙈🙈🙈.
09 Nov 2020 03:32:13
We are definitely going to need to sell a player or a couple of players at end of the season, kamara may be the guy as he’s getting a lot of attention and will get more if he continues how he is going, Davis is in his final season possibly and arfield will be 33 next year. Zungu may or may not sign permanent so the Ferguson deal is a real possibility. you also have to take into account the homegrown quotas for Europe etc which all add up to it being a no brainer bringing him in at 2m. He is a good player and may be a lot better in a high possession side.
09 Nov 2020 07:03:54
Honest opinion guys, i don't think at this moment in time lewis ferguson is good enough for rangers and wouldn't get near a starting slot, in front of the array of midfield talent, we currently have at rangers.
IF steven gerrard were to sign him for rangers, then of course like any other player that plays for the famous, i'd be right behind him giving him my 💯% backing! Its nothing personal against the boy ferguson, i just don't think atm he's anywhere near our level. He's better remaining with the sheep for another couple of years, where he'll play every week. there's absolutely no point in signing ferguson for rangers and him sitting on our bench every week. At his stage of his career, he has to be playing every week.
09 Nov 2020 07:39:39
He won’t be here at this stage in his career, he’ll be here in the next stage of his career.
09 Nov 2020 07:57:36
Young player of the year is an award that means you've got potential and you've just had a good season. Ryan Kent is the current PFA young player of the year, by the way.
Other notable winners include Graeme Payne, Ray Stewart, Scott Crabbe, Robbie Winters and Kevin McNaughton, so it's not exactly a reliable indicator. Me? I quite like Ferguson but unless we lose about 4 midfielders he's not going to get a game for us any time soon, as I'd rate him as being at least a season or two away.
If he's up for spending next year in the reserves while he works to improve, giving up his first team slot at Pittodrie, then I'd take a punt. Right now he'd be behind Davis, Arfield, Jack, Kamara, Aribo and, by the looks of him, Zungu.
There are far better players out there than this boy, but some seem to want him because of his family tree, others because he's 'Scoattish', but the simple truth is he's not Uncle Barry by a million miles.
09 Nov 2020 09:12:53
Totally in agreement with your post bigjaffa 👍I was a massive fan of the boy's uncle baz, who was an unbelievable midfielder and one of my favourite rangers midfielders, of all time. 👌 I know its unfair on the boy lewis to try and compare him with barry, but hand on heart he's nowhere remotely near as good as his uncle baz! I also totally agree with you bigjaffa that for some it IS to do with his family tree, that they want this young midfielder signed 🤔.
09 Nov 2020 14:06:17
The Tim's said the same stuff about john mcginn, look how he's turned out. Absolute no brainer at 2m closest young midfielder to john mcginn in scotland. Can defend can get forward n score doesn't mind putting the boot in. Nobody saying he would be a guaranteed starter but I think this will be the last year davis will be able to play 40 or so games. If Kamara or goes we've space in squad.
09 Nov 2020 15:27:27
We've all got our opinions Herewego55 and i totally respect your opinion mate, but honestly pal lewis ferguson isn't anywhere near the same class as john mcginn. Just being honest here mcginn even while at hibs is levels above what lewis ferguson currently is. In fact hand on heart and i said it on here, that i wanted us to try and sign mcginn, if he would come!
09 Nov 2020 15:29:04
Herewego55,we already have stevie davis's longterm replacement in zungu mate.
09 Nov 2020 22:04:01
I've seen nobody say they want him because of his family, and nobody say they want him because he's " scoattish" whatever that is? He's talented enough to move up a niche and he's a Rangers supporter, and if he ends up somewhere else then Rangers will have missed a great opportunity.
09 Nov 2020 23:05:28
Sgl nobody can predict how zungu will turn out big man, he's had 45 mins for us.
