The CB situation now was the same as before the summer, so if indeed it's a case of really really needing another one then this 'Alves has fucked it up' doesn't wash.Who is a seasoned, experienced premier league captain who has had years of European experience too, who arsenal were also in for last summer. Ultimately I cant honestly say I've watched him much or followed his career, but everything in TH's post about Tosin, Mangala, and Kompany to me makes sense. I think there is just a bit of prejudice about him on her as a recent united player, who then went to an unfashionable club, and who is rarely raved about by the punditmafia. I admit I was shocked at first, like most were I'm sure, but after thinking it through, I honestly hope we get him.
As for being 29 - not a problem for me at CB - would be if he was a striker or midfielder of course.
(Unless his name was Alexis ;-)
I couldn't give a fuck that he played for United.
It's the same reason why I didn't want Delph or Sinclair etc, they're just not good enough. Then we spend a mini fortune on them and complain later that we have to budget down the line when in the same window we can't sell them for even half of what we paid for them.

Not good enough for Maureen now some people think he is good enough for us.
No way he should be even considered!
Never played under the PEG, Van GAAAL sold him if i recall.

I think something's necessary beyond the cover you've mentioned. Unfortunately we need a contingency plan for Kompany being out for the whole season that doesn't break the bank. As I said, my City head would love Mangala to be it - even better if we all got behind him so he's less nervous and grows as a player. But I think we've learnt by now that if you can't Cruyff turn your way out of trouble in your own 6 yard box, you're not in Pep's plans.Mangala odd error gets overhyped. Bravo, stones otimendi made errors last season but they are forgiven. Our defence shot itself in the foot time and time again last season. Mangala wasn't part of it.
As I said our youngsters should be providing defensive cover otherwise what's the point. And if there is a key huge game Dino or yaya can play centr half. Yaya played centre half in a champions league final. With tosin and yaya is this really necessary?
So Mbappe has 900 pages all summer...apologies in just under a year... Evans 200+ in a little over 24 hours.
This potential deal strikes me of the Lescott one. We overpaid massively for Lescott yet he formed a formidable partnership that helped deliver the title. I cannot bring myself to get excited about this, and the fee quoted is bonkers but I guess we have to wait and see. He may well either surprise us, or not come anyway as I can't see him getting lots of games. I just hope we are not - like we did when we signed Lescott and others - offering him crazy wages as there will be no sell on value in 3 years. Demechelis did a fantastic job for 2 years then fell off a cliff and I suspect that Evans would be similar if not worse, 25m for a quick fix to the squad is a bit rich. Anyway Pep knows what he's doing doesn't he?

I remember Wenger being in for him last summer, that was for E25mil, and I was ambivalent then, so certainly see no reason to be one way of the other at this moment in time with us being rumoured to sign him.That's sort of mine, but I haven't watched him enough to cast a real opinion. I will have a look and take a view, like any other cover/squad player we sign. Don't care who he played for a jot. It doesn't matter one iota to the club or affect his performances in any way .
Evans himself is bound to be keen, lives local still so a no brainer for him, still an international so must be confident in himself that he's good enough to get game time and keep his spot.
Bluemoon at its finest this thread though, this thread rattling along at a ferocious pace, lol.
