Jonny Evans

[Mendy]

Please tell me we're signing him for girona

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

One or two have proved useful signings over the years, Kiddo and that bloke with the fluky backheel spring to mind.

Yeah I think back in the days when players were local and virtually every signing was home based and we didn't have the media and razzmatazz we have in the game now and for the last 25 years, it may have been more acceptable. I'm sure he is a reasonable player and we need a CB but it wouldn't be for me personally.

 

[Irwell]

Absolutely do not want him here and I think it would be a huge mistake to sign him. 'In Pep we trust' doesn't apply on this one for me.

 

[dromoreblue]

You're not going against everyone.

Not everyone. But seemingly most. Im certainly biased as ive watched Evans close up playing for our national team. And he's a class act. Tho sadly injury prone and maybe too much of a risk with VK's troubles.

Morgan had a good season their title win. Didn't have a good season the one after and he's been replaced in the pecking order now. Zouma played like 9 games for Chelsea their title win and is now on loan at Stoke of all places. So currently no those players are not good enough to win titles. If you think you're making a good case for Evans you are badly mistaken.

If he wanted to make that point he could have just pointed out that Evans himself has won the Premier League... 3 times.

But as we all know honours are not a sure-fire sign of quality.
Kleberson has more World Cup medals than Messi
Harry Kewell has more Champions League medals than David Silva
and Luke Chadwick has more Premier League medals than Steven Gerrard

 

[M147WN]

Same here.

You must have amazingly low standards then!
No!...No!! .....I'm not falling for it!

 

[Gingers Dad]

Smokescreen for Sergio Ramos.

God I hope not

 

[BlueS]

Gonna go against everyone. I think Evans is a cracking player. Comfortable on the ball and two good feet. Would suit Peps style well. And he wouldnt be the first rag to cross to the blue side. His injury record would be my major concern. But he'd be an excellent squad player tho not first choice obviously.

i suppose Tevez worked out ok

 

[waspish]

This lad is Beckenbauer in the making 30m be cheap as chips

No!...No!! .....I'm not falling for it!

Not really. Just think he'd be about as good a home grown back up as we could get at present.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Don't be surprised if the source of this story is BBC Media City. Some bloke who knows some bloke who knows Jonny Evans sisters best friends hairdressers cousin.

 

[southamptonblue]

Would honestly rather Terry over this clown

Rather have Terry Wogan than Evans........... should use money for that Sinclair bloke who's just scored for Celtic...he 'looks decent' ;)

 

[Phil1]

Go back and read it and then come back to me.

I'd rather not. You think Evans would be a good signing, I'm not convinced. Think that's all there is to it.

 

[SWP's back]

A lot of people said they didn't want Kyle Walker. He wasn't good enough.

No difference between Evans and Walker at all. Good point.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Well I like him

 

[BurnageBob]

I know a friend of his and Evans loves United still, I'll be fucking fuming if we sign this rag reject. Not good enough for them, he is soft as shite and panics under pressure, why the fuck are we even contemplating it, would Barca, PSG or Madrid being the hunt for him, would they fuck and they are our competition now

I agree, said it earlier in the thread.

 

[Roy Munson]

This thread, as if it were needed, is definitive proof that we have some utter, utter bellends supporting us.

Is Evans great? Nope.

Is he an experienced defender who has won 3 titles and a champions league? Yep.

Happy to be 4th choice? Probably, yep.

Homegrown? Yep.

Available for about £20 million? More than likely.

Alternatives that tick the above boxes? Nope.

We won the title in 2014 with Demichelis and 2012 with Lescott for fuck's sake! This isn't a knock on either of those two (I actually really liked Lescott) but Evans is a miles better defender than Demichelis and a much better footballer than Lescott and I doubt he'll play anywhere near the number of games that those two did.

Those people pissing and moaning about Denayer and Tosin are talking shite. Denayer was fucking awful at Sunderland (I'm sure
Kneville Neville will be along soon to tell me that it's the club's fault that he was shite) and Tosin is miles away from being able to play first team football. He needs to go out on loan.

Anyone lamenting Mangala not getting a chance can also fuck right off. You were probably the same ****s giving him dogs abuse week in week out in 14/15.

 

[dromoreblue]

i suppose Tevez worked out ok

What a wee sh1t he turned out to be. But theres no doubt he played a huge part in dragging City into the Trophy era.

And your national team knows how to defend. Some of the stuff on here makes you hate football.
