Jonny Evans

[grim up north]

Too many people on this forum are.Personally I`ll leave it to those who know what are finances are like and whether we can afford it or not.

I'm quite sure our money men have a better handle on it than our internet warriors

Can't even get £13 million for Bony and we get £2m for Nasri. Bizarre why we need to pay £30m for a 4th choice CB. Two offers already rejected. Walk away now please.

Bet you'd have said the same about Mangala...

Shit happens.He was recognised at the time of being a wonderful young footballer.Unfortunately not every player can take to playing in any type of leagues.At least Evans knows his way around the PL.He may not be the best in the league,or the best available,but in Pep I trust.

Coming from a Northern Ireland fan I can assure you there are going to be a lot of City fans eating their words. If you can get passed the fact that he was brought up a red ( but he's a professional footballer ffs ) , you will soon realise he is a good defender.

Not aimed at you oakiecokie by the way , not sure why my comment attached itself to your quote. Must have pressed the wrong button. Blame my Bank Holiday gin.

Im not enthralled about this so i wont pretend to be.

Nothing to do with money, i just dont think he is 1. good enough and 2. will be yet another in a long line of players that in a few years we will all be moaning about because he contributes zilch and we cant get rid of him other than some loan with us paying wages again.

Finally we had a summer window where we got rid of the deadwood and for me, he will be just that.....deadwood.

Clubs in Europe ask TOTALLY different monies from PL clubs than they do clubs from other leagues. Hence Milan can buy Bonucci for 35 million but Chelsea were quoted 60 million. Your comparison with Bonucci is therefore absolute nonsense.

Agreed.

How about comparing Evans and VVD.

Evans 3 year deal, 30m transfer, amortization 10m a year.

VVD 5 year deal, 60m transfer, amortization 12m a year.

I am in complete shock we are actually going for Evans over VVD. Little difference in accounting but major difference in actual value.

And who keeps telling you that he`ll be 4th choice ? Its a fucking squad game,theres no such thing as a best eleven,that`s so 1960/70`s.

there is no chance in hell VVD is available for £60m. its £70m minimum this late in the window maybe close to £100m.

Well seeing that Southampton have stated on more than one occasion that VVD is not available,we can scrub his name of the list.

You do know that Southampton already bought TWO centerbacks this window right ????
