Jonny Evans

WBA will be laughing their c***s of if it does happen.

Most of their fans seem pretty gutted at the prospect of losing him.

Of available homegrown. Not far. No doubt you would prefer Ben Gibson and think that option is better.

You don't think Ben Gibson is better sportingly as well as financially? Than £18m for Jonny Evans?

In fact do you not think Mangala, Denayer, Tosin are better in both area's too?

Jesus Christ, I mean Smalling would be better than this.

They did but there not natural wingers and playing an actual 'back three' results In one less creative player in the side so full agreement with regards the virtual back three.

The pace/tempo comes with having the right options. If there is little movement/passing options in advanced areas players will naturally go side to side. It's more instinctive for a Sane Sterling/Jesus to make that run than a Kyle Walker/Danilo. It feels to me like we're playing with the brakes on.

Pep, or people around him, talk a lot about controlling the game and taking the heat out of a match by dictating possession. I hope this was how he viewed Brighton and the first game in the Premiership rather than a transition to a regular back three.

Agree.

Pep can be a little more conservative away from home so it will be interesting to see what he does with the first home game since last season.

Hes good on the ball can play on the left in a back three hes english and still lives in manchester and wouldnt have to adapt .he was west broms captain and best player so it aint a bad move.

They might be concealing their excitement maybe. They fear we won't move for him if they chat s**t about him.

Is Phil Jones available :-)

The rat isn't wanted here and it'll be clear as day if he dares to rock up here.

Quadruple swoop. Jones, Evans, Cleverley and Ashley Young.

 

[Rammy Blue]

West Brom wanted £25mil last summer when Wenger wanted him.

The reaction to this news if proof a lot of you don't watch football outside of City. Evans is actually a very good player.

Someone on here claimed WBA fans would be laughing their head's off if we bought him when most would agree he's easily their best player.
