Jonny Evans

[stan bowles]

What part of "he isn't good enough" do people not understand ? There's a reason he plays for WBA. That's his level.

I bet you any money that we play 433 more often than we play 3 at the back this season.

For the record we created two absolutely glorious chances which Kun/Jesus fluffed in the first 20 minutes of the Brighton game. So I don't agree with your assessment at all. I also remember Pep saying often last season that we missed too many chances early in games and that made things more difficult later on.

A huge Achilles heel is missing early chances and it needs curing: would make such a difference to us.

Don't know why anyone cares about his United background. No one was arsed about it with Cooke, Schmeichel, Cole, Tevez etc once they pulled on a blue shirt.

 

[bluealf]

Master stroke

Yup a total wanker, let's hope it isn't true :)

 

[doobyedoobye]

He's a decent and versatile player.

 

[Cityfan]

I have spent the last 10yrs slagging this fella off to my Rag mates
If he comes to my club,that's it
I cannot embrace him as I would a new signing,as that would make me a hypocrite
Let's hope is not going to happen

Can't say I am too bothered about being a hypocrite I slag of all rags but some of them can play. There are a very few I can't stand irrespective of their raggishness like Fellaini and Lingard. But I have been quite happy with the Goat, Law Tevez etc.
Can't say the signing excites me but it doesn't look awful.

He's only played there for 2 years and arsenal and us have now tried to buy him

 

[Uptop]

Expect £25m+ if we are to sign him which for 29 year old backup doesnt seem great but he is a decent player and maybe most importantly he is home grown.

 

[Nigel De Shlong]

and the mystery centre half is...

 

[blue ranger]

Well if we sign him he will be getting my support. We can't always sign £60m or £70m players.

Would prefer Mangala to stay but i think Evans would be a decent back up.

This thread is fucking hilarious reading all the bollocks spouted out.

Yours wins the bollocks of the year post. Evans and Mangala? CL win written all over that then....either together or as a replacement.

It's something we really need to get over.

I think it's decent for us if it's a decent price and we have funds for Sanchez. On that not are you hearing anything on Sanchez Ric?

 

[Project1]

Probably looking at the home grown element and his Prem league experience. Would rather send toshin out for a good season or 2 experience and have Evans on the bench. Then again save the money and keep Mangala

Just playing devils advocate here, but WBA are actually really well drilled defensively.

He was the catalyst for the sick swan so its a yes from me!! [emoji3]

 

[MCFC1993]

The latest being an £18m bid.

Can't imagine we'll want to go higher/much higher than £20m for him but the interest in him appears to be solid.

What is clear is that we are so desperate for this centre back signing to be home grown, that we must be seriously pursuing 2 foreign players given the squad quotas.

I'd prefer Mangala to stay. But if Pep wants Evans as a decent back up. Thats fine with me.

So you mouth foamers are directing all your bollocks towards Pep, If indeed we are in for Evans.

I hope you are right with regards 4-3-3 as its my favoured line up and one I have been vocal about on this forum in the Girona thread.

Torrent has spoken openly about this in the past and how a Pep side scores more frequently in the second half when teams tire and space is not filled allowing the team to exploit.

No doubt Pep would love an early goal but the way we play with regards possession later goals as players tire is a natural byproduct of the system.

To be fair, I did tell Cole to F... off when our paths crossed one day
