Jonny Evans

Giggs has probably already sniffed about the Evans household, the trouble is JFE was training at the time :)

PMSL !

+1. But some folk can’t see the bigger picture

The bigger picture that I see is us paying his wages for at least two years while he's out on loan at other clubs.

I agree.

People are slagging off this potential transfer without applying context.He would be arriving as a 3rd or 4th choice,with a great attitude,a very good injury record,a wealth of experience and,despite the nonsense posted,plenty enough ability to perform in a ball playing system.

I too would prefer to sign the next breakthrough superstar,but given we have an excellent first choice partnership that continues to develop and improve,causing disruption to such would make no sense.Signing a player like Evans wouldnt impact on that but would still offer very good cover when required.

Not value for the prices being quoted. 8-12m maybe. 20m plus=pants pulled down material.

It would be over inflated definitely......but any fee(and even the deal) is speculation at this stage,so lets wait and see.

I'd agree if it were a last minute/panic buy but this is the second transfer window whereby our scouting network seem suitably impressed

Allegedly.

Just said if West Brom get relegated he can leave for 3m because it’s a clause in his contract. Now I’d have no issue waiting till summer

Fore sure but surely no smoke without fire eh?

No - the animosity is because he played for the rags. We should be able to move past this. If Pep thinks Evans will solve an immediate problem whilst chasing 4 trophies, then it should be good enough for us.

For me it's about his pricetag, his age, his quality.

I think 99% on this thread are more concerned with that than who he used to play for.

Why not? We get it on a daily basis with the rags and who they are going to sign next.
