VVD will turn out to be a beast at a top 4 club.

Yes really. Moving the goalposts to suit your argument.

He will mate would love him at CB with Vincent.

Maybe an argument to you mate, not for me. If you think Mangala and Otamendi are similar to VVD that's up to you.

Neither are comfortable on the ball. Completely different players.
What's that got to do with PL experience and captaining their teams? Or in fact being good defenders? You said VVD "ticks all the boxes" - I merely pointed out to you that when we signed Otamendi and Mangala they seemingly ticked all the boxes too. Last summer Stones ticked all the boxes. Mbappe ticks all the boxes. Bony ticked all the fucking boxes when we signed him. In fact he'd had a similar 12 months to the one VVD has just had. There's no guarantees in the transfer market. I appreciate you rate VVD, so do I. But that doesn't mean that Evans will be a shit signing and it doesn't mean that signing VVD should be our priority this summer. In fact I daresay that Pep's got a much better idea than me or you about which positions to prioritise.

Football ain't played on paper but the prospect of that partnership is very appealing. Also would be very able coverage if/when Vinny picks up an injury.

Clearly Pep has better insight, so did Pellegrini and Txiki. However that doesn't mean we can't debate decisions and that they won't make mistakes.
We've signed around 5 CB's since Lescott, none have really turned out as expected, Stone still has time. So the track record is open for criticism.

Yes but you don't know if signing Evans/not signing VVD is a mistake as neither thing has happened yet. By all means discuss the relative merits of the players, but you've completely written one off as being shit and a rag, then in the next breath tried to argue the toss with me about Otamendi and Mangala by saying VVD ticks the boxes because he's captain of his team and has got PL experience.
I won't mention you advocating in another thread we should sign the gold plated donkey Diego Costa ... you reckon he's good on the ball ;)

This arguement is so flawed. A centre back should be priority before anything. One injury to one of our current centre backs and we're in trouble, considering Kompany's past, we need a quality defender coming in. I can't see Jonny evans being a good signing. Peps not immune for making mistakes when it comes to transfers.

No mate what's flawed is being a poster on a forum and thinking genuinely you've got a better insight into which positions require prioritising in the transfer market than the guy who spends all day every day working with the squad.
