I don't understand what Pep see's in him tbh. He's 30 years old and never really looked like he'd get any better. I appreciate that he's experienced, left sided, counts as homegrown, and probably willing to sit on the bench at times, but everything about this suggests that he's a 'stop-gap' signing and that really goes against the theme that Pep has been trying to follow with us. He hasn't really signed stop-gap players for us previously, so the only reason for this can be that there's genuinely not an attainable target available to us that Pep/the club feel can come in and improve the team. Whether that's because of finances, timescales to do the deal or just that there's a issue with quality on the market, I dunno. But I'm underwhelmed to say the least.

Not a clue why were not looking a little further ahead, a player like Upamecano from Liepzig would be a much better option. Big solid good on the ball and only 19, got that french link for Mendy. Already looked decent in this seasons champs league. I know he isn't a short term fix for the rest of the season but seen as how were building a young squad for now and the future better than a 30 year old. If we started to play a back 3 then CB is actually the positions that would need some pace, at present its the position that's the oldest and slowest with the exception of stones and Tosin not being fancied i feel.

Just feel like Evans is a bit of a knee jerk to our current lack of Centrebacks and not fully thought through.
 
WBA have dropped the price by 1/4 to £23.5m. Fucking ludicrous fee to pay - buy Inego Martinez for £32m and get someone who is good for the future, will have some sort of sell on fee and can cover at left back. It really is a no brainer.

Said it before and I'll say it again-
1. Ex rag- not ideal but truly not too arsed
2. Just do not think he's any good.
3. The price for that profile of player(age,caibre etc.) has got to be 8-12m maximum. If we start paying 25m+ I think the "plot loss" thread on the bluemoon forum will go into overdrive.

Stones, otamendi and Evans would be the slowest defence ever.
