Jonny Evans. Strongly linked by proper newspapers. Hmm.

But I mean, there's no way we couldn't sign Van Dijk for 8 million quid. Why aren't we setting our sight on him if we are willing to spend big on a centre half?

Van Dickil told the worlds media that he wanted to leave celtic 6 weeks ago, not a single bid, still no caps for Holland.

When will you people realise how utterly terrible he is.

Cos he has a nice exotic name mate.

bet you like them exotic names

Johnny Evans mate for 8 million.

Thats the basis.

is he available on free?

 

[Raino85]

What its the basis for all of this Van Djik love?

Cos he has a fancy name and he is yet to be proven in a decent league

 

[Toffeelover]

Probably because he's not very good. It's all well and good shrugging off part time plumbers from Falkirk, but Evans has won 3 premiership titles.

Thought Eavns was just one of many players that helped Man U to those titles. Evans did not play in every game.

"Sank EVANS for leetel gurls"

Solid rather than spectacular. I cannot see it being 8m as he has only 12 months left on his contract, 4m-5m I would say.

If he can stay fit he would be a very decent signing.
I don't think he is coming as backup, if he comes. He will be coming as a first team player, in his own mind at least.
Time will tell if he is good enough.

Yes. He contributed a lot to a team which won the league 3 times. With him in it. A lot of the time.

 

[Toffeelover]

Yes. He contributed a lot to a team which won the league 3 times. With him in it. A lot of the time.

But even you must baulk at the idea of another injury prone player like Gibson?

There is an extra 300 guests viewing this forum at the moment pyar buzzing at 8m.

well given this board's residents, that must be good enough.

Well no way he's starting unless we line up 3 in the back which wouldn't make much sense.

 

[blue4eva77]

yeah but we thought we'd give Utd a few million back to make the Fellaini deal fairer.

 

[Seamus Colemole]

Yes. He contributed a lot to a team which won the league 3 times. With him in it. A lot of the time.

Sure.

Tony Hibbert contributed a lot to teams who finished regularly in the top 6, but most people wouldn't wanna sign him.

I think Evans is a competant player who is a good pro, works hard and doesn't cause a fuss, happy to be back up at a club and can put in some decent performances after a run of games.

But way too prone to comedy defending at times so as much as i'm for signing an experienced centre back as cover i'd prefer and older, cheaper but better one.

 

[LocalNative]

Wouldn't mind Evans at all, will provide good competition to what we already have and has plenty of experience in winning things.

Think £7-8m is a bit much for him though, considering he's available for free in 12 months.
