Evans will be a good signing for us. Wait and see.

I hope you are right.

Still doesn't answer the question as to why nobody wanted him on the cheap two years ago, including Pep.

 

[SWP's back]

but nobody at any of the top clubs anywhere in europe can ?

Erm, you not including us?

 

[Neville Kneville]

Erm, you not including us?

Yes I am.

We weren't in for Jonny Evans either. He went to West Brom.

Why didn't we sign Dembele last year?

Or Mbappe two years ago?

Or VVD when he left Celtic?

VVD is a very good question. Bad judgement, is my answer.

He played for Manchester Utd for years & years, won titles, played in the Champions League, he's on tv every week, everybody knows him, everybody sees him, loads of top clubs, including Pep's Bayern, had fucking clowns in the squad at cb, nobody stepped in & signed Jonny Fucking Evans, for peanuts.

We spent 60 mil on cbs, but not on Jonny fucking Evans.

If those of us who are worried about this transfer, are only woriied because we know fuck all & those who 'watch football for a living' all think he's brilliant, why did everyone sit back, afetr watching him for ten years & let him go to West Brom ?

Were they, incuding Pep, all wrong ?

What an idiotic question. You're now just trolling.

Evans, is 30 years old in January, will cost 30m, 3 year deal makes it 10m a year amortization.

VVD just turned 26, will cost 60m, 5 year deal makes it 12m a year amortization.

Not that big of difference amortization wise but VVD is much better value long term. Add to that Evans has no resale value while VVD has the potential to be one of the best centerbacks in the world.

Honestly can't believe we are getting an old rag centerback that has no pace, yes he's a leader and has expierence but the cons outweigh the pros. VVD is a no brainer, you spend more but are set for years to come.

Terrible planning by the club, mid way through the season we'll have a 31 year old injury prone Kompany, 30 year old Otamendi, and 30 yo Evans, and young Stones.

Well said mate.

That's a really childish, low level response which ought to be beneath you.

It's a perfectly reasonable & pertinent question.

Just difficult to answer, if someone wishes to push a particular argument.

What's up with you shall we just let you have the forum. IT'S A FORUM@@@@ people debate, stop calling people wums and trolls just because they don't agree with you.

So every time a player is sold, is every team and manager that doesn't purchase him making a mistake?

As I say, you're just trolling now, but yes, if we buy him and does well then it will obviously have been a mistake to sign Mangala for 4x as much instead of him two years back.
