OK, I'll put it another way.... Do you agree that by the sounds of things Txiki & Pep believe that Evans is a better bet for cover this season than Tosin or Mangala?The problem with the budget is why pay £30 mil for Evans then? It stinks of panic buy, it's similar to us pissing money up the wall for the likes of Bony.
This time last week I was delighted by our business, we finally seemed to have our head screwed on yet here we are again buying players clearly not good enough.
You and I know this is a ridiculous transfer. If when the alternative CB thread was created I had posted saying 'we need to be looking at getting someone better than Smalling' I'd have been laughed at but here you are trying to justify us buying Evans with that same statement.
He was relatively cheap at the £18m mooted, it's becoming apparent we are going to be going way over that.Well apparently, that is why we're keeping our powder dry. Hopefully you can see why this explains buying someone for a relatively cheap fee who is better than Tosin & Mangala, makes sense.
In an ideal world, we wouldn't have got a more high profile signing, but if Evans makes us stronger than we otherwise would have been, why would anyone have an issue with that?

So if we don't have any alternatives in mind, we would rather go out and buy shit? Did you forget about Sinclair, Rodwell Delph et al.? So we are happy to go down the same route again considering tha fact that they are ridiculously difficult get rid off?Alternative then please. I'm sure CIty would have rather paid £18m, but this is the same old story with all our transfers

Not at the required price there isn't, at £10m I might have agreed, but above £20m there are no positives other than we seem desperate, hence the price being asked.Anyone watched Jonny for Northern Ireland? He's bloody good in a very tight defensive unit. Real leader on the pitch too. So many positives to this move, lads.

Aye. When he's got the other 10 players covering his arse. He won't be playing in a bus parking 11 behind the ball scenario anymore.

Yeah they hate the scum more they love city
Maybe it's the fact that lots of us don't rate Evans and add to that the fact he's a fucking rag twat into the equation then that's probably why people are getting pissed off.
City are always first for us blues but hating the rags for us older blues is part of our dna.
Evans got fucked off by the rags as not good enough and since then he's played for Sunderland and WBA and yet he's suddenly morphed into a Baresi type player who will improve us.
Evans is bang average and a rag too boot so I have to say.... IT'S A NO FROM ME

I also believe that when it comes to Txiki and Pep their ability to buy a good centre back is shite at best

Why are you still pedalling this Northern Ireland stuff?Anyone watched Jonny for Northern Ireland? He's bloody good in a very tight defensive unit. Real leader on the pitch too. So many positives to this move, lads.
Andy Morrison now would look decent against Azerbaijan
