It's Quiet - a new dawn

How about you wait and see how he does?

Far too sensible .

At one point, some people actually believed we would be prepared if possible to sign both Mbappe and Sanchez in this window.

What would have been our first choice starting line up in the biggest games if we did? Good luck with that.

Sounds promising.

How fecking depressing. £30m for a player who will be gash in a high line defence is just pissing £30m down the loo. I'd rather pay £60m for VVD if we're going to pay £20m too much for a player - especially as there is now £100m+ cash available after Mbappe decided on PSG.

Aren't players like messi and mbappe supposed to be self financing?

Evans will be the worst piece of transfer business we have done since Jo, Santa Cruz and Rodwell etc.... fuck me I thought those days were behind us.

I agree.

He's not a terrible player but not a higher level one which is what we want.

Would rather spend just a bit more and get vvd which will help us for years more

We dont know it is £30m, VVD might not want to come and because we were willing to splash 100 big ones on Mbappe, doesn't mean it is avail elsewhere

Then buy anither quality defender that suits our game that isn't pissing £30m down the loo.
Evans in a high line defence will be a disaster that can only seriously damage Pep's standing in world football.
I'd rather stick with Mangala who could at least keep up with an pacey attacking forward.

My thoughts too. 100%

Or alternatively, if he proves to be a successful signing for City ..............................imagine the fucking melt down on Sad Cafe !!

This is what I have said a few times that Evans would be exposed to pace as we play a high line and WBA play a deeper defensive system that's suits him as he isn't particularly quick.

Personally I don't think he's what we need but as always the buck stops at pep and if he signs we will see if he can adapt.
Hopefully we will get Sanchez though as he is class and would be a welcome addition to our squad.
