Jonny Evans

[Silva_Spell]

Can't remember the last time I watched a full West Brom match that wasn't against us (nor have I watched any Northern Ireland internationals) so I haven't seen Evans play much recently.

So is Evans an upgrade on Mangala? I'm sceptical. Those saying Fergie was 'shocked' that Evans was sold by van Gaal are right but I've not seen any quotes from the manager who divulged it to the press that say it was because Evans is a great defender, merely that he expected him to retire at United.

Maybe we're trying to free up two homegrown slots for Sanchez and Mbappe...?

We're not signing Sanchez and Mbappe.

One clip is always enough to evaluate a player. Thanks for that.

Glad to be useful.

I'd support him.

Absolutely. I'd hope we all do mate. Too much negativity for my liking on this thread

Better get used to it mate, it's almost certainly happening.

Please can you stop joking with me Ric. I can't take this much longer.

Er...

Even if Kompany isn't injured, his game time this season will be managed.

Tosin is nowhere near good enough, Mangala is offski and Otamendi and Stones can't play every week.

It's a fair point. I said when Mendy came in that if that was it, I'd be ecstatic and anything else is an indulgence. But...I think this weakens us, especially if it's Mangala out for a player of this level. I get Pep doesn't rate Mangala, but lets not kid ourselves, this is a downgrade. At least Mangala would be good against certain strikers.

Based on one good game against Costa

Do you think West Brom will pay 25M for Evan's replacement either ? I think we all know the answer to that one !

So by that logic, why go after an average 29 year old?

That all makes it sound like CB is the key spot to strengthen forcefully not on the, not even cheap because it's £20m, but on the 'not good enough' shelf.

I am pissing my sides reading some of the shite in this thread....I can't wait for the reaction when he actually signs a 4 year deal the world will have ended for some haha

All you lot that taking my posts about this player too seriously need to give your head a wobble and get out more. You're all gullible.

Evans is shit though.
