Jonny Evans

[wattle]

If he puts a blue shirt on then he gets my support but boy do I have a horrible taste in my mouth!!

Same here. I'm not as madly against it as most. It would feel a lot better if it was for about 10mil. It'd make sense then. Surely fern or yaya could play a role in a back three as good as Evans?

I hope he's got half a brain and reads this topic to understand what our thoughts are about this clown.

That'd be half a brain more than you, pal.

Kolly was our best centre half at times last season

Yeah when we were swanning it.

As soon as it got difficult he was fucking useless. A top player in his position, defending properly & helping look after Stones & Otamendi, could easily have had us level with Chelsea, maybe even in the semis or final of the Champs Lg.

Hi Jonny,

Do us all a favour and fuck off.

There's a good lad.

Lescott may not have been the best in his last two seasons with us but he and Vinny in their pomp were one of if not the best cb pairings in the PL. Those who are posting about him not being better than Evans have either a short memory or are trying to change history to justify their support for buying Evans. Or worse.

Lescott would struggle like hell playing the way we do now - even in his pomp. As someone said earlier mangala Mk 2 i.e. great defender, useless with the ball at his feet. I dont want Evans, but I acknowledge in a Pep system, he would be better than Lescott.

We need an experienced left sided CB who is comfortable with playing out from the back.
He fits the bill. Nobody hates rags more than me but some of you flappers need to remove the blinkers. The boy can play. If we sign him he will be an asset.

However, as soon as he makes his first mistake (and there will some - he is human after all) he will have the all the hysteria bollox that crucified good pros in the past -Edghill / Power etc come to the surface.

To be a good defender you don't need to be a fucking Messi! You need to anticipate danger and deal with it with aggression and composure. Pep sees this in Evans and I back his judgement. Cmon blues let's give the lad a chance!

Evans is an excellent, experienced and intelligent footballer more than capable of doing a job for City for the next few years, his positional sense and football brain will help develop Stones and others. Any Blue that thinks this would be a bad move because of his United connections needs to give his, or her head a bloody good wobble.

Do you really think Pep would change his mind because of the droolings of hysterical, semi-literate morons on a forum? Kinnell.

Good post mate, but the nay sayers will be on your back soon enough
