Roma’s New Shooting Star Shows His Bling…
Once upon a time in the mystical land of Old Trafford, Evan Ferguson was whispered about like the magical unicorn of goal-machinery. But alas, Manchester United fans watched with jaws hitting the turf as Ferguson, wearing the Roma colors, launched a ballistic four-goal missile on his dreamy debut. Young Fergie, once priced at the GDP of a small island nation, now finds himself lighting up Serie A like a festival of Roman candles!
The Irish whiz-kid, once linked to a high-speed 50 million quid transfer to the Theatre of Dreams (only to instead dream of London fog and anvil-heavy injuries), found his mojo with the Eternal City’s club. Roma proudly nailed the signature of Ferguson for a cheeky 32 million – practically a snip for a football prodigy who’s been riding the rollercoaster of a goal drought on Brighton’s bench and West Ham’s shadowy sidelines like a beached fish. Lining up beside the legend, Paulo ‘The Dybala’ Dybala, Ferguson gave the Italian lower-league side UniPomezia a lesson in humiliation through a goal-fest scoreline of 9-0.
With a passport ready for some English holiday kicks, Ferguson will flaunt his new Roman sandals at friendlies with Aston Villa and Everton before Bologna sees what each of his four flashy feet are capable of. United, whose phone a year ago could barely handle the call from Ferguson’s agent, might just take a peek from beneath those red Manchester curtains if the bling bling in Italy continues to jingle-jangle this season. Meanwhile, Brighton’s guru, Fabian Hurzeler, bid a cordial farewell to his resurrected striker, wishing him many goal-tastic nights in the Land of the Leaning Tower. Gosh, football never tasted more like spaghetti and dreams!
