Tbh, Stones looks like he's starting to get it. I'm quite optimistic about him after pre season. He a VK made a couple of errors, but Otamendi made 3 times as many & got away with several more, due to sitting down, waving his arms & getting a free kick.

I imagine Pep feels (probably correctly) that Evans wouldn't have made the same number, because his judgement & game intelligence is better, thus avoiding the situation in the first place, so it's swings & roundabouts. Otta has more ability but is stupid, Evans less but smarter & possibly a good communicator, which Otamendi is terrible at.
 
Knew the Alves situation would fck us over, best laid plans and all that.

Could have had Komps/Stones/Kolarov + New CB with Bertrand/Mendy and Alves/Walker...

You might be overthinking this one.

both teams set up defensively...we dont.....we need defenders all who can defend one on one...evans is shit at this...plus id rather have david luiz or even robert huth or an aging john terry there than evans....the guy is rubbish

Terry or Huth? Be serious. The fact is he's played an entire career in the Premier League but he is 29 not mid 30s, and most football fans would regard him as a decent if unspectacular defender.

We've got Stones and Kompany. You decide to either replace Stones, or provide back up. We've gone down he back-up route. That's sensible imo.

Stones wobbled last season when Kompany was out. I think he can improve. I would not like to discard him yet. That is what those who want VVD are advocating

Can you see us wanting nacho, from madrid? He is their 4th choice. Barca and PSG dont even have one.

Evans would be a crap signing in my opinion but it's peps head on the block not mine.

Much rather buy for the longer term than some has been.
Pep will be a genius if he turns out to be the missing link..but I can't see it myself
