fixed that for youEvans to power in header to win the derby AND the League at Etihad in April.
For clarity that's a goal for us, not an og!

He only had a year left on his contract though I think, and the market in 2015 was very different to now. I’m probably clutching at straws, but maybe Guardiola can greatly improve Evans too as he has with Delph (although I concede it’s not worked with Mangala).
Agree 30m can go to a younger CB our issue though is a back 4 of walker stones mangala delph has no mature head and if Pep wants someone as a calming influence who makes the rest of the back 4 calm down JFE could actually fit the bill.I thought we paid his release clause? In any case, even if he does improve, the guy is 30. It's not like we'd get 5 years of good performances out of him. Even in this market, £20m is not the kind of money that you'd want to throw away. It's not a Demichelis-style stopgap. Those funds would go a good way towards a promising young centre half with potential future value. We should be looking for Kompany's replacement.
To go from Sanchez being the star signing of the January window to possibly Jonny Fucking Evans.... :/
I knew singing "You sign Phil Jones..." would come back to bite us!

I don't know, what about if we insure him for £50m and he then has an 'accident' before he can make his debut?I simply cannot conceive of any realistic scenario in which this transfer would turn out to be good business.

Not if we point out what Lukaku cost, with Ed Woodward in football virtually any fucking Sunday league carthorse could be sold for £100m and Johnny Fucking Evans is probably worth about half of one of those.The insurer would probably die from uncontrollable laughter upon claiming his value to be £50m.
