Jonny Evans

Do you think they might gazump us for JFE?

Or Juan Fookin Evanez as he is known in those parts.

Hope so. Wrong player and a massive waste of money. Inego Martinez £8m more will sell on potential and he already plays a possession based team.

I hear arsenal are after him, so you might get your wish. Personally if he signed for us i'd have no(!) qualms about that. People might think he isnt a good enough player, fair enough, but to worry about the money? Why? I've never honestly never been bothered by the cost of a single player we have bought. As a supporter i honestly dont mind. Honestly.

I don't think he's coming to be fourth choice either.

Neither do I, and, that’s the one aspect of this that absolutely terrifies me more than any other

I know where your coming from a month's wage for most of us

You get 25m a month? Fair dues mate.

if Pep signing JFE, i can see Kompany will be gone this summer.
he's not reliable anymore, and i'm sure Pep will consider his injury records.
Pep looking for someone experience, homegrown and willing to rotate.
in the summer Pep will sign another CB for Mangala replacement.
maybe foreign top CB like Laporte, Koulibaly, etc.
but i really want City to sign Maguire instead of JFE.
hope my wish come true - Stones, Otamendi, Maguire and Laporte.

When the vermin had their succssful season IIRC they had Stam, Johnson, Berg and May as their four centre halves. That gave them three good options and May if they were really thin on the ground. We've only really got the general who can be relied on, which isn't good considering we are still fighting on four fronts.

And you think JFE woukd be composed in a high line defence? No fucking chance. May as well as put a cone on the pitch. This move will be a disaster if he gets to play.

I don't know really, I just know he has been composed for the games I seen him in, he's played at the top level and is used to the pressure, and I know Manga crumbles under the slightest pressure... So for me, semi final of the CL and Stones or Ota is injured and we got to bring on Manga to face Barca, nah.

JE, It's not good but it is better backup.

So who do you think will buy Vinnie, considering his injury record isn’t exactly a closely-guarded secret?

Personally, I think VK will run down his contract.

Not really been following either thread but are you saying Maguire is for sale?

We were linked with him for £50m recently. I don’t know why they wouldn’t sell especially as he seems keen to join.
