Same scum that let him go years back for 6mil? I'd have Bailly at city in a heart beat. I'd have smalling over Evans as well.

Some media reporting up to £30m which is a total p*ss take. No resale value on a 29 yr old. I would rather us keep Mangala who is agitating for a shit loan deal to Inter who will take the piss no doubt which doesn't suit the club at all. Ideally though I'd prefer us to break the bank for Van Dijk who is up there with Kompany when he's at his best.
Don't be such a snob. He is west broms best player, all their fans say so. They would know more than you or me. West brom are a decent mid table side, surely their best player is good enough to be our 4th choice?
I agree that its a rip off, but this late in the window, withcity involved, its bound to be.
Agreed. An embarrassing sense of entitlement for some here. He's definitely good enough to be a rotation option for us. It's pretty telling that none of the anti crowd have managed to string together an argument more complex that "he's crap, rag, he's crap" etc.
If he does a job i don't care to be honest i'll wait to see how he does if he signs before being a fuckin mard arse, like i said i'm not thrilled about it but will give the lad a chance having watched City since 1969 i'm sure i'll get by.
It's not being mard to be disappointed and frustrated that we would spunk 25mil on a player we have seen for the entirety of his career is not going to improve us. If you were at York away though you will be happy with anything though am I right?
If we bought Evans we are just storing up big problems .in a couple of years we will have to shell out a fortune when both his and Vincent Kompany time is up .if he is worth over £20 million now and Southampton want £70 millon how much will we have pay to get a decent center back in the not to distance future
Some of us have given our reasons but if you can't be arsed reading through the thread I won't be repeating them for you.Agreed. An embarrassing sense of entitlement for some here.

Rotation option for 30mil?!? Think about that.Agreed. An embarrassing sense of entitlement for some here. He's definitely good enough to be a rotation option for us.

Unfortunately for me I did read most of this thread and what I posted is the overwhelming sentiment. Care to share your thoughts?

You really cant understand why the majority of fans don't want a 29 year old ex united defender from an poor side who will cost upwards to 30 million?Agreed. An embarrassing sense of entitlement for some here. He's definitely good enough to be a rotation option for us. It's pretty telling that none of the anti crowd have managed to string together an argument more complex that "he's crap, rag, he's crap" etc.
My arguments against this signing are 1) its another kick in the face to our youth 2) price is a pisstake 3) we have a history of making these type of signings and they've all gone as expected, Rodwell, sinclair, Delph, Bony etc 4) i personally think the need for another centre back is overstated
i think he will join but I also think we'll be trying to flog him for a couple of million in two years to celtic or sunderland

He's not exactly blessed with pace and he plays in a team that's generally very defensive so he doesn't get exposed as much as he would here.
We tend to play a high pressing game and that's where he would struggle I think...being much higher up the pitch would leave him vulnerable to teams breaking with pace.
That's my take on things and I admit I could be wrong but as I say it's all about opinions isn't it.

No not at all so don't fuckin patronise me , i've see seen pleny of highs and lows in my nearly 50 years of watching City but now we really are a top european club and like i said i'm not thrilled about signing Evans but it's looking like we will so get fuckin use to it give the lad a chance and let's see how it pans out.It's not being mard to be disappointed and frustrated that we would spunk 25mil on a player we have seen for the entirety of his career is not going to improve us.

Getting priced out for Jonny Evans. That's something I never thought I'd post on Bluemoon.
I get where you're coming from but it's a good thing Shirley

You can say chap rag but don't forget for a 4 the choice fukin expensive and crap and a rag . Mangala all day
Wind your neck in you tried the patronising bit first fella. If he plays I will support him because I want us to win. But I feel totally justified in stating I think it's an appalling bit of business before we waste 30mil on crap as we have done with bony delph bravo nolito and many others in recent times. In the case of those they at least justified the punt we were taking. How does a 30year old well past his average best.No not at all so don't fuckin patronise me , i've see seen pleny of highs and lows in my nearly 50 years of watching City but now we really are a top european club and like i said i'm not thrilled about signing Evans but it's looking like we will so get fuckin use to it give the lad a chance and let's see how it pans out.

In order:
1. I disagree. The closest thing we have to an academy option is Tosin, who not only isn't ready, hasn't played more than a few minutes of professional football. We can't count on him in the even of an injury and the player in question is 29, not 22. It's a short term option.
2. Agreed that 30mm is too high, 25 is the max i'd like to see on this but lets see how the fee shakes out.
3. Those signings aren't relevant here. I trust Pep has done his homework.
4. I disagree. We can't go into the season with three centerbacks (no, Mangala doesn't count) when we want to play three at the back and one of them has Vinny's injury history.

He is better than Stones was without Kompany last season. Stones has got the ability to be a top player, but last season he fell to pieces without Kompany.
So your trying to compare a 22 year old coming into a new team and system where we generally dont offer much in the way of defencive cover, to some average fucker who hasnt even had to adapt to our system and at present plays in a defencive 10. brilliant
