Jonny Evans

I dont know why people keep saying he will be 4th choice
For me Vinny is out long term and Stones has come back too early (as did Delph as did Vinny last time) he needs time on the bench
Evansinho will be straight in with Otta for quite a while

I take it you were really drunk when you posted this?

Why are we going after another centre back that lacks pace?

Because we pass the ball from the back and ederson is sweeper keeper

Talking to a match going red at work and he is not happy about him joining City, said he’s better than all Utd’s centre halves other than Bailley.
My issue is he’s a red but as long as Ihe gives everything when he puts on the blue shirt I will give him my full support .
We cannot carry on with The Vinny situation, love the man but we just can’t rely on him anymore and Mangala is shite and doesn’t suit the way we play .
Pretty sure this a short term fix and we will buy another centre half in the summer .

Does anyone think if utd get Alexis we might sneak in and get Lingard as well, he may become surplus to requirements.

I fucking hope not.

Evans is miles ahead of kompany these days

A one legged Kompany is twice the player Evans is. Behave

Unfortunately it's completely irrelevant when Vinny can't get on the pitch. At the moment literally any fit player would be better. We're trying to win 4 competitions with 2 centre backs FFS.

Agreed but that’s why any cb we buy should be decent and capable of helping us achieve that. Not a 29yr old devoid of pace, who we wouldn’t have wanted in his supposed prime. Evans is shit. He’s been at West Brom how many years? Why I wonder? All the huge JFE fans on here never clamoured for his signature at any point previously.

Let’s sign a defender by all means but let’s buy a good one.

Not sure if this guy is a member of this forum but made a great comment on twitter and this is very much how I feel about this transfer....It's almost as if we looking for a cheap bargain with limited upside.

Signing players just as a backups is one of my biggest bug bears in football. It pretty much always ends in the team being worse as they need game time to get to their 7/10 level. They don't get games & instead end up a 5/10. Sign players with potential 1st team quality, always.

Afraid not. Unfortunately, a what appears to be the usual, sit down on the pitch shaking his head after 10 minutes, is a massive hindrance.
To the team play, and the psyche of teammates, opponent's and supporting fans alike
