Tbf though, there are many such signings have been successful in a short term sense over the years.

Demichelis being one. I was fucking gobsmacked when we signed him.

Replaced by AM by Alderweireld, sometimes your best going long term.

That said I get your point and who knows other people seem to rate him.

A lot of City fans automatically under rate United players, I still hear people say Pogba is crap. So we could be surprised!!
 
Please not him Pep. Sign my left sided testicle instead, it's more talented. I'll even buy a season ticket to stand on the touch line whilst it plays.

Not really. Rooney looked good last night. Certainly Everton's best player.
No, Evans is just a fairly mediocre central defender. He can look useful at West Brom, even generally in the EPL. Against Europe's finest, he will be found out, big time. There's no point any more in signing this level of defender.
 
Not going to happen according to my Baggie chums who I live amongst. Pullis said £30m and we said "WTF" and haven't been back.
I really hope this is true.
 
Done deal 20million plus add ons taking it to 25 is what some dirty rag has just took great delight in telling me,apparently Evans pushed for the move,only time I hear from the fucker is if they've won or signed some twat so got no reason to doubt him.
20mill would be good business for a massively PL experienced 4th choice CB. He's not reliant on speed, never has been, so if it turns out he can do a job for us, I can see him being here for the next 4 years.

Have you seen how high we defend? It's our lack of pace through the middle that causes most of our problems. None of Stones/Kompany or Otamendi are super quick but Evans makes them look like Usain Bolt.
Finally getting a couple of fullbacks who don't look like they are running through treacle will help but the thought of Evans having to stop a counter attack doesn't fill me with any confidence at all.
 
I really can't get my head around this supposed interest in Evans, especially after the massive outlay for a top young keeper and two top quality full backs. It's comparable to some rich bloke having his Ferraris, Lambo's and Porsches on display on his drive and then sticking an Austin Montego in the middle of them.
Guys with collections of big, fast expensive cars will often have a small, Fiesta or Yaris type car as a runaround. It's not uncommon.

We need a good DM to shield the defence and to link the play and start the attacks.

Think your missing the point, the cars you mention are ok but the Montego was a massive pile of useless shite
