Centre back options

[neel]

So, if we are still after a CB, why we didn't go for Bonucci then? Not sure but I think Evans will be a waste of time and money if just getting him as a short term solution. I would be more into getting someone who can play DM and fill as a CB once in a while, we also have Tosin. I don't want any ex Rags in a city shirt, no fecking way, it would feel too dirty

Bonucci wanted to stay in Italy due to his sons illness..

Ah, didn't know that.

I don't know who the player is, to perfectly fit our cb position.

But put me on the same wages as our chief scout, or Pep, & I will find us ten options, at varying prices, better than Jonny Evans.

I think stevie wonder would be a better scout than who ever thought Jonny Evans would be a good signing.

He might do ok, as 4th cb. He's won a bunch of titles. But surely to god, in the whole world, there are better options to take us forward.

Here are the Football Manager results for a prem-experienced (>=27) left-footed (strong or greater) centre back:

Jan Vertonghen
Jonny Evans
Angelo Ogbonna
Papy Djilobodji
Marc Wilson
Ragnar Klavan
Adrian Mariappa
Miguel Britos
John Terry
Joleon Lescott
Damien Delaney
Jonas Olsson

:)

So Evans is actually the top HG find in that list. And the estimated cost according to my scout is 21.5m-28.5m pounds lol.

Here's where all the scouting is done. FM17. Costs about £30 ;)

Evans is one hell of a gamble for £25m make no mistake about, it could well be a defining transfer this season if we pick up an injury to any one of our three CB's, he's paceless and slow on the turn, an accomplished passer he may be with experience but it smacks of being a here and now transfer, we have Kompany and Otimendi over the age of 29 so it's hardly for experience .

Next season we could well have three CB's over 30 instead of buying VVD or a younger CB than Evans who would be a genuine successor to either Oti or Vinny.

A baffling transfer if it comes off and it smacks of second rate all over again in the CB department, we spend whatever it takes it seems on wide players and attackers but neglect a position that the world and his wife can see needs sorting.

Let's hope Evans pulls a hamstring this weekend.

It's baffling mate, we've had all summer to scout CB's and the best we can come up with is Evans for £30m.
