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?
Given our stance on Sanchez I don't see City "dropping" £30M on JFE if we buy him it will be at an appropriate price, but everyone is still getting wound up over what is still only a rumour not fact.
 
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.
I tend to agree WBA got a good deal 10-12m for a guy in his mid-20s and middle-lower end of the table isn't bad, more then double that and 30 for a team looking to compete with the best in Europe, don't see the value myself.
 
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.

There is alot of us that feel the same way mate!;)

No idea what the price is going to be yet but I definitely hope it'd be not much more than £20m. And again, I know it looks like I'm overly defending this transfer (when it doesn't excite me at all) but Im just shocked at how OTT the reaction has been by some and how little nous they seem to credit our board with.

I would say I think it's slightly oversimplistic to look at that as being double what West Bromwich paid for him though. £20m now buys you what £10m would have got you 4 years ago.
 
I just don't see the merit of judging these things in isolation when our actual management will have watched every minute he's played. Likewise, I wouldnt make a firm judgement on John Stones based on his best bits from the past three weeks.

Did you miss the previous 10 years of Jonny Fucking Evans, as well as this season ?

Look, IF Pep wants him, then of course, the fact that the guy is a genius, softens the blow of us signing a defender who has been fairly shit this season & most of the past 10 years.

Maybe Pep sees a particular quality in him & can make something out of him that suits his system.

He will have to, as the evidence suggests JFE is fucking shite.
