Jonny Evans

[MarsLlama]

Would rather Tosin as hes a local lad and I want youth to finally be given a chance since the takeover

Me too, but that isn't important unless he's actually good enough, which it doesn't seem he is.

We all laughed our arses off at Tottenham fans suggesting that Trippier was as good as Walker, or when Liverpool supporters claimed Ibe was better than Sterling. In the same fashion, some of our fans are saying that Evans isn't a huge upgrade on Adarabioyo, which I find completely unreasonable.

If pep plans on continuing with the current formation with three at the back. I suspect evans would actually push stones for a first team place and wouldnt even be surprised if he displaced him. He's been part of a very good defensive unit at west brom for the past two seasons and I believe suits exactly the type of player pep looks for in a defender and would work very well in the current set-up

I understand the reasons for this transfer but I would not be upset if he snubbed us.

Although I agree with you,I don't give a fuck what other fans think.Jealous ****s,who'd kill to be us !

Not even other fans I jut think it's embarrassing to pay that kind of money. I get we pay over the odds but this is too much for a decent mid table backup centre half

Misleading. Jonny may only be 25m. VVD may he as high as 80m. And he's not for sale. The market has changed.We're likely to pay over the odds for JE, but not much.

Okay take that bet that VVD goes for 80 million

I don't give a toss who he used to play for, it's the fact that he's fucking gash that bothers me

As he is an ex rag, I have never watched him play. He played his part in our League winning season as Sir Joey of Barton did. He can only be applauded for that. In Pep we trust (ish!).

Of course I know mate. But I just wanna point out how stupid the market has turned out here. That's why I mentioned Premier League specifically. And why City should simply turn to a foreign target and stop sponsoring other PL teams. We and the PL are a aughing stock when you compare the money being reported for Evans and Bonucci.

It's hard to get used to the inflated fees, but it's the reality of the situation now. If you want to buy from another PL club, you've got to stump up because no-one actually needs the money.

I think the comparison with Bonucci obviously on the face of it is kind embarrassing, but it's ultimately irrelevant. For a start if it'd been us buying him, it would have been more than 35m. And then when you consider the fee's being paid between PL, it's money that's circulating within the league, prices are going up yes, but for everyone. We got £25m for a striker who only started like 20 games for us.

Taxi for Jonny

 

[come-on-barney]

Do you think City getting VVD for £60m is likely, or will it be more than that ?

Whatever the price a more sound investment
