Jonny Evans

We'll have to change the song to: he's not really here he is not he's not really here

A one legged Kompany is twice the player Evans is. Behave

Don’t talk stupid

A one legged Kompany is twice the player Evans is. Behave

Behave every time kompany’s played he’s looked a bag of nerves

This actually happening then?
Like for real & not a dream?

Woke up in a cold sweat this morning but sadly this is reality.

All this 'he'll not get much game time as 3/4th choice' stuff isn't the typical city way you just know through injuries/circumstances he'll play loads of games, hopefully our points lead will be enough for all his appalling play we've not lost many points with Mangala on the pitch so hope springs eternal. Bet Tosin is pretty pissed off at this though.

My main worry is I'm not convinced he's defo better than Mangala. He's been largely naff all season and God knows when he last played in a possession based system, never mind one like Peps. Obviously trust in Pep and that, but yeah....

How do you know he's been largely naff all season? Have you honestly watched him week in week out? Im happy to admit I've seen very little of him since he left united but I find it very hard to believe we'd be buying him if he'd been crap all season. Given how much of an obsessive he is, I'm guessing Guardiola has watched every minute he's played and has a much better idea of his suitability than anyone else on this forum.

I was going to ask him the same question.

Good signing...if you're looking to lower the bar of this team.

 

[spacecadet]

Don't know if Evans is the right one, but Sunday's defensive display at the Dipperdome looked like we had Dunne, Distin and Dibble back for 8 minutes in the second half.

 

[Andrew___K]

I guess we have to trust Pep, was hoping we would shell out a bit more and get Maguire in.

Maguire is young, he would need to be played regularly, unlike Evans. Think he's too good to be 4th choice, but not good enough to be 3rd and future Otamendi replacement. I guess the club will add some top prospect like Skriniar or De Ligt sooner or later.

Thus, Evans is a good choice. Beside reasons mentioned by domalino, this transfer would allow to free one foreign spot if/when City decide to shift Delph.

Example A.

Evans is No 6 (or should that be No 2 ? )
