Jonny Evans

If he’s good enough for Pep, he’s good enough for me

saf was the most successful manager of all time in the UK but that didn't make Ralph Milne a good footballer

I don't get this talk that it's just a short term solution.

He's not going to sign a 6 month or 1 year contract, so he's going to be on our books long after the "solution".

And who pays £20m+ for a short term solution anyway?

No, but Ralph Milne didn't last Ferguson's tenure whereas Evans did and he expressed a fair bit of surprise when LVG binned him off so cheaply.

He's a short term third choice option and long term fourth choice option.

Maybe in the minority but every signing we make should be to challenge players already established in the first team. Evans won't do that - he isn't good enough for this team and signing players on the basis of them being squad players is how you end up with lots of deadwood.

Your not in the minority m8 and you make a good point

You don't see an issue with dropping close to 30m(maybe more)on someone who is 30 and is your long term solution to your 4th choice?

Ill be honest,I dint want Evans when it first came out,but if Pep thinks he can do a job,so be it.
Once he puts that shirt on,I'm right behind him,not fucked if he's played for the rags,we've had em before.

Go through the centre halves at each prem club....then ask yourselves which are available....then ask yourselves which are good enough....then ask yourselves which are home grown....then ask yourselves which have played at the highest level champions league etc....then ask yourselves which has won the Premier League...then you ask yourselves which are suited to our style...then ask yourselves which can play left side...then ask yourselves which wants to play for Pep

I am struggling to come up with to many names apart from Evans

Trust Pep see past the Rag bullshit and if he signs let's see what happens....I know if we get to the champions league final and Stones or Otta are injured and it comes down to Mangala or Evans partnering Stones or Otta (forget Kompany)...I know who I would want and it ain't the big French man
