Jonny Evans

[r.soleofsalford]

Im with Pep on this

I dont hate Evans. I`m even not arsed he Played for United. But, he was`nt good enough for United or any other team interested in winning stuff. Now miraculously he`s good enough for a team trying to fight on 4 fronts for trophies.

He`s managed 30 games in each of the last 2 full seasons playing in a defence that more often than not have 11 men behind the ball.

I wont be pissed of by missing out on Sanchez and him going to United but will but gutted if we make do with Evans who in my opinion is bang average. The only thing I will hate Evans for is being at our club.

If he was called Johnny Evansinho, an experienced player signed from some half decent outfit from Spain, with 60 odd international caps and 3 league titles under his belt we’d be calling it a savvy bit of business

 

[lloydy]

Fuck me! Pep done amazing so far! He knows what he's doing. Give some slack. Cole schmiechael so fuckin what!

Nope.

Because that wouldn't change the fact that he'd be an expensive enough stop gap, and a back up to boot, on inflated wages that would scupper a future sale to a club at his actual level. As well as still leaving us having to upgrade the position in 6 months time for an even pricier outlay.

If he had 60 odd caps for Brazil I'm sure we would be happy.

Hahaha

Think its more likely to be someone else coming in we have been linked with alex vidal and martinez again.

I don't get it

 

[domalino]

You mean like Bravo, Danillo and Nolito, yeah 3 great signing's those were, but no one can question a potential addition in your mind.

Or delph...ah wait no he's been quite good hasn't He?

Where are we linked with Vidal?

 

[Barcon]

I don't get it

He's saying we would think signing Neymar for 30m would be a good bit of business.

1/10 on sky bet

I think I’ll trust Peps judgements over yours. No offence

 

[domalino]

I’ve got no problem with JE, but at that age I’m surprised we haven’t looked at David Luiz, seems like a perfect Pep player who could move into DM and isn’t currently fancied at Chelsea.

Why would Pep buy David Luis if he wanted a midfielder.

He'd probably just, you know, buy a midfielder like Fred?

Delph's surname ends in O? Try to keep up if your going to jump in.

JFE is very much in the same category as Barry and Bellemy - you don’t ‘get’ them as players until they play for your club. I’m looking forward to seeing him do his thang in a blue shirt

 

[Woody135]

Way too many have a problem with this. He would be a very dependable back up. He's wouldnt be signed to be first choice.
United have the face and others, Chelsea have cahill and dont start on Liverpools. None of these are "quality" players.
Squad depth is our main concern going into the business end of the season. It is what may cost us a trophy with key injuries at the wrong time.
At CB (possibly the most important position in the way we play where everything starts and the speed is injected) currently we have no dependable back up (mangler and vinny shouldnt/cant play).
Who he played for in the past shouldnt matter. In January it is who is available. If signing Evans means we can give Stones or Otamendi a rest the weekend before a big game without panicing over a kompany injury or a mangala mistake then it makes complete sense.
