Evan's had bad injuries at United and was in and out of the team. Never really had a proper long run at it. He went out to West Brom, where he did the hard yards, learned his trade amicably as a solid, ball playing defender. He stats back this up. Pep Guardiola tried to sign him for City in 2017 & 2019 but he stayed at Leicester where he was guaranteed first team football.

Bringing him in as 5th choice center back is a masterstroke, because he is the consummate professional and he wasn't exactly on the scrap heap, he was being relegated from the PL last season, and he is still Northern Ireland captain. If our youngsters cannot learn from someone who has played 500 professional games then we are in the wrong business. Oh, and he is free.

Amended for accuracy.

And your kids are learning by playing alongside Tom Huddlestone. Another masterstroke, how old is he again?

I dunno, after winning the treble, will the hunger be there next season? Or will there be a drop off? Gundogan will be a big miss, because he often gave De Bruyne a night off, which kept him fresh for the business end of the season. It also looks like Mahrez might go and Kyle Walker. Mahrez was a great option from the bench. Always seemed to score important goals in big games, and Walker is the insurance policy at the back, sweeping up any potential threats. He'll also be a big miss. All big characters with bags of experience, lots of quality going out of the squad. Who knows?

You are currently sitting on the top of a hill, looking down at the others climbing up. Some people enjoy the climb, some people enjoy the view from the top.

I always thought Joe Hart, Leroy Sane, Pablo, Vincent, Yaya, David Siiva, Kun Aguerro might be missed, but what do I know?

The red **** was pretending to be a blue for months on end before tonight. Obvious he wasnt though. Fucker should be banned for that regardless.

I really wouldn't want him banned, he's really only insulted us once and @Vienna_70 addressed that. Besides, he really is harmless and is fun to toy with.

5th choice? Are you counting Luke Shaw as a centre back? I know he's played there a bit.

I can only think of Martinez, Varane and Lindelof (if Maguire ends up leaving as expected).

Varane and Linderlof play shite regularly so Evans has every chance....who's this fucker trying to kid lol

Yes, Luke Shaw is 3rd choice, left sided center back. Malacia can cover him at left full back. If Martinez is injured, they will play him ahead of Evans. And if Varane is injured, they will play Lindelof. He will be 5th choice if Maguire goes.

I agree. It's good to have opposition fans on from time to time for a different view. Nothing wrong with him supporting his team, and he seems full of hope at this point in time, which is what all football fans should have. We'll just have to see if that's well-placed or misguided (again) as the season goes on.

He spent months pretending to be a blue and trying to take the piss. Bit childish if you ask me. Only tonight has he owned up to being a red **** after being outed by many.

Quite incredible the JFE signing, had the pleasure of playing 9 holes tonight with a mate who's a match going rag. The back tracking gave me a warm glow inside. They really haven't got a fucking clue.

Yeah I wasn't aware of that, it is a bit pathetic and childish if that's the case.

Imagine being shit and then coming onto your rivals forum who have just won the treble and trying to take the piss?
That's what inbreeding does to you!
