Jonny Evans

[Lee won pen]

But as a 3rd or 4th choice centreback surely he will be good enough? And like I said I don’t want him. But 12 months ago we all thought Otamendi was rubbish and look at him now. All peps signings up to now ok, part from bravo.

Tbf Bravo does a pretty good penalty shoot out

I'd say that the success of Demichelis is up for debate. At least his fee (£5m if I remember correctly) was reasonable. Twenty million pounds is not reasonable for a bang average 30 year old centre half. Also, the fact that you can only name two from a long list that perhaps weren't terrible in recent years proves my point.

I can name many more but won't do so on here.

Actually, I'm beginning to think that he would be a suitable alternative scapegoat to The Mangler! Bit pricey for a scapegoat, mind, but we live in expensive times.

It’s gonna cause murders on here. There will be those who back him to the absolute hilt no matter what, and cane any fan who dares to criticise him ( like bravo) and those who can’t fucking stand the sight of him

He will be the elephant in the room, the one we all argue over

I wonder if the store will sell a single Jonny F*ck Off Evans shirt?

Best Seller, guaranteed!!

Think Burnley will beat you mate.

Ba dum tish.

Not at all convinced by Evans, even as a 4th choice. And why the hell people are still posting in the Sanchez thread is beyond me.

I was hoping that the club going for Sanchez had restricted our January options, but with that cash now freed we'd be able to do something elsewhere in the squad, say Bertrand to provide an option at left back and free Delph to be back up to Fernandinho, which is the biggest risk in the squad at the moment. Looks like nothing is going to happen beyond perhaps Evans, so hope it doesn't come back to bite us with all the games coming up.

As others have said, rarely do "squad player" signings work out. I'd rather promote Tosin, who is a much better player than Mangala.

Delph’s doing alright, tbf.

I get the fact that very few City fans want Evans, ex Utd and in my opinion not good enough, however I will say that we have the best manager in the world, and whilst nobody is perfect including Pep, I think at some point I have to accept that his football opinion is superior to mine.
If he thinks he is what we need at this moment in time, then I will back him in a blue shirt.
