None of us know what the crack with this is. @roydo's source is probably our best bet on that front. Martinez categorically said we weren't interested in Evans, but has just swerved this one.
If nothing else, if we were in for Yarmolenko and it's fallen through then leaving this open for a little while contains the fume a bit
OK, fine. My opinion was based on this in the transfer window thread:
Please keep all speculation, conjecture, whisperings, half-truths and outright nonsense you hear within this thread.
I can ignore the transfer window thread for that reason - but once a thread is started on a player I pay more attention.
I'll just consider this thread to be as nonsense as the transfer window thread and jobs a good 'un. Sort of defeats the point of the system to me but nevermind.
