Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Nottingham Forest (kick-off 12:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Evan Ferguson "trained for the first time yesterday" and is "an option to play".
On if he would be OK if Ferguson left, Hurzeler said: "I want to keep working with him but it's important to discuss what's important for development. We want to improve the players and help him. We need an exchange - we need to see what makes sense for the player and the next six months for the club - we'll make a decision together."
On why the striker's career has stuttered: "It's difficult if you have small issues - you can't get in a rhythm, you need to get him stable and consistently on the pitch. He doesn't forget how to score goals. He's still a big danger for every team. He shows he has an unbelievable skill in every training session - it's for us to help him get this shape back - where he once was."
He added he sees Ferguson's "long term future here", adding: "His profile is really rare, a clear number nine. Players have to show the potential, we talk about how good he was - we know he has the potential and he has to prove it and show it every day."
He believes Brighton "have everything here" for player's development, stating: "The perfect infrastucutre, good staff, experts, good environment, good atmosphere, people who are very patient and I demand the players use these things and get back into their best shape."
Hurzeler thinks Pervis Estupinan, Solly March and Mats Wieffer will all be unavailable for Saturday's game.
He refused to comment on links to Derby's Eiran Cashin and said: "I don't talk about other players at other clubs."
On Forest: "There is always one team that surprises everyone - this season it is Nottingham Forest. You see their individual quality, they have a lot, players who have played a long time in the Premier League. For some experts it's not surprising, but they're getting the results and are always finding a way to win games."
On Tariq Lamptey: "Every time he plays, he does quite well - he's always a danger when he has his attacking patterns. It's about game time - he needs to adapt to this position. I'm very happy he can play on the left side."

Image source, Rex FeaturesDerby County boss Paul Warne expects Eiran Cashin to face Sheffield United on Saturday - unless a transfer to Brighton & Hove Albion materialises incredibly quickly.
The Rams said the defender was 'categorically not for sale' earlier in the window, but after the seemingly waved farewell to fans after the defeat at Cardiff on Saturday, rumours have grown that the Republic of Ireland under-21 international has his heart set on a move to the Premier League side.
Speaking ahead of third-bottom Derby's home game with Sheffield United on Saturday (15:00 GMT) Warne told BBC Radio Derby: "It's at board level. That's out of my paygrade. Cash is training with us – until I get told anything different I don't know.
"As I speak to you (on Thursday morning) I expect him to be available (for Saturday) although I am mature enough to realise in football things can change all the time.
"As I've been told today, when preparing the team, Cash will be a part of it. That is all I know."
Warne insisted he was out of the loop in terms of the speculation but added: "I am led to believe an offer has been in for Cash - whether it's going to be accepted, not accepted, negotiated or not, that's a board-level thing, my concentration is just to prepare the team for the weekend.
"I have spoken to him about it. What me and him talk about is obviously private."
Warne also revealed he was "pretty close" to adding some new signings, but insisted they were not dependant on Cashin leaving Pride Park before Monday's transfer deadline (23:00 GMT).
"We've always had money to invest in the squad so I don't think we're waiting (to see) if Cash goes or doesn't go," Warne said.
"We need to reinforce this squad. We need more goals in the team. I feel like the signings we made in the summer have helped the group and we need to keep trying to make better signings to make the team even better."
Image source, Getty ImagesArgus journalist Charlotte Ikonen believes the atmosphere in the home crowd does not seem the same at Brighton - but she expects it to improve when they host Chelsea twice in a week next month.
Seagulls boss Fabian Hurzeler said it was their "responsibility" to make Amex Stadium their "castle," but his side have not won at home since 9 November - six games ago.
Speaking on the latest episode of BBC Radio Sussex's Albion Unlimited podcast, Ikonen said: "At the weekend, I noticed players were trying to get the crowd going, putting their arms up. There was a response to that.
"It's a strange one. I thought the whole game on Saturday [against Everton] was quite flat. Maybe that was reflected in the crowd's atmosphere, but it was quiet."
Brighton's next home game is against Chelsea in the FA Cup, before Enzo Maresca's side return just six days later in the league.
"Everyone's definitely excited going into those games," she added.
"There's a lot of history, a lot of former players coming back to the Amex. It will be interesting to see the reception.
"Hopefully, it will be a good two games for Albion at home."
