Jonny Evans

[PrezIke]

Well, glad to know some sensibility is there.

At 29 Evans will have little or no sell-on value and, while City recognise it is an inflated market, the club will switch to other options should West Brom demand what they believe is an unrealistic price.

While an offer in the region of £25m plus add-ons may cause Albion to consider Evans’s sale, Guardiola is also insistent that, if his central defence cannot be strengthened, he will still be content.

You don't know that your guessing! Here's a thought why not think positive about Evens if we sign him and he is going be fine under Pep or are you just wriggled with Negativity or hate the scum more than you love Manchester City.

I love City mate been going since 1961 and got my season ticket in 1975 and had it ever since....yes I hate the scum but not as much as I love City.

Not riddled with negativety and think the squad we have is amazing but still don't think Evans is what we need.
So if you think because I don't agree with everything Pep does/wants it means I'm more of a rag hater than a blue...

Ffs somebody show Pep a video of the 6-1 before it's too late.
Edin, Melin & Ballo ripped the useless lump of a carthorse least 3 new ones that day...and that was 5 years back

It sounds an easy question to answer from where me and you are sat.
No one outside the club knows what the financial constraints are on the management team, what the remaining transfer targets are, what the strategy is, nothing, zilch. Yet, we have had a meltdown on this forum of epic proportions. We have had posters questioning the the managers judgement, calls for Txixi's sacking, tearing up of seasoncards, threats of booing and not cheering Evans if he has the temerity to pull on a sky blue shirt. We've had almost 350 pages of "crap,rag,crap,rag". Now we all know that Evans isn't in the top tier of footballers, we know he isn't the long term answer to our defensive problems, we know that ordinarily we could buy the best players out there. The question is why have the club decided to go for Evans of all people, knowing full well that he's a rag and also that we should be aiming for a much better quality of player. Of course we can't answer the question but I think it behoves us to show bit more faith and patience, not to mention gratitude to owners that have lifted us from being the laughing stock of English football and every bodies favourite second team to being on the cusp of joining the elite of European football. If Mansour were ever to read this thread he would wonder at the kind of people we were. It is, of course, a football forum and people are entitled to their opinions but the shrill outrage that has been expressed on here after the transfer window we have had, with more additions to hopefully follow, has led me to seriously question the maturity of some of the posters on this thread.

Spending 30mil on Evans a. Doesn't suggest our financial constraints are too great does it? B. I question whoever is sanctioning that deal because it's a crap one financially and from a footballing point of view especially if as most of his new fanboys are suggesting he is just a back up.

No, Pep is not beyond criticism. No one is. I agree with your post. I was replying to a post that suggested the Evans signing was one in a long line of Pep errors, which I don't accept.

Sorry mate no offense intended...I didn't say pep has made loads of bad signings. Just a few and don't want him to add to it with Evans.

 

[Ballymagash Blue]

Evans not even on the pitch same time as Edin!

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Stand your ground Pulis, and there's a new shell suit in it for you.

 

[Carlos- the- jackal]

Evans was sent off at 1-0 and wasn't even on the pitch at the same time as Dzeko and it's nearly 6 years ago so if you're gonna talk fuckin shite at least get your facts right.

 

[waspish]

How about we wait until we sign him before we start licking his balls?
If he signs for us I will be hoping that he is nowhere near the useless bag as fucking shit that he was when the scum let him go in favor of keeping phil jones.
I'm sure we will all get behind him if he signs. Until then, lets call a spade a spade.

You seem not to read my post?! I did put in that post "If we sign him" so carry on licking your balls.
