Some of the Italia 90 squad are doing a gig in Cork opera house next March.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him recalled and sent on loan to a better team next month or maybe Leicester cash in by selling. Steve Cooper is linked with the job and if he gets the job I definitely hope Cannon leaves after Cooper's disrespect towards him.

Hope HH uses him more now going forward. I like Parrott but think Cannon brings more to the table than Troy. Then you've got Idah whose now drawn a blank in his last 7 games at club level.

Rocco Vata has hit a little purple patch lately with 2 goals and 3 assists in his last five games. Still came up short against Cardiff with Robinson scoring twice to bring his league tally to 8 for the season.

Would like to see Vata get his first senior call this March the lad deserves it. Has looked impressive this season and has impressed in a green jersey whenever called upon since he joined up age 14.

West Ham have contacted Brighton about taking Evan Ferguson on loan. it would be great to him get game time but not sure about West Ham.

Yeah West Ham are definitely short so you would imagine he would see game time. I would be concerned that Lopetegui doesn't see out the season however. Might not be that big of deal as any other manager won't have other options.

19 year old Gabriel Otegbayo from Cork scored a 85th minute equaliser today for Sheffield Wednesday. He is actually a Centre back. He was recently called up to the U21 squad. Someone to keep an eye on and hope he progresses.

Re Ferguson, I think the most important thing is he gets regular game time for his own development and builds some momentum. Hard to develop when you're mostly on the bench.

I'd be happy to see him drop down the the Championship and start every match, then go back to Brighton next season stronger and ready to challenge for his place.

If he ends up at West Ham with Potter that would be perfect. That's still up in the air though and not guaranteed by a long way.

I know what you mean.

I think he's proven that he can score goals in the PL; did Kane have that before he went on loan? (Genuine quetsion).

I genuinly feel that given the starts and something approaching good service, he can score.

Either way, he needs to get the f*ck outta Brighton and start playing some full games.

Has Anyone done the joke yet??

Ferguson linked with Bournemouth this morning after Evanilson broke his foot, might be abetter move than West Ham on loan

West Ham likely to appoint Graham Potter so could be a good time to go there as well. Wouldn’t like to see him go to Spurs. West Ham or Bournemouth would be a good move.
