Jonny Evans. Strongly linked by proper newspapers. Hmm.

[Dithering Dougie]

LOL He's absolute garbage. That's my decent argument, from my personal experience of 30 years of watching football and knowing when a player is crap. Just my personal opinion, that lots of others seem to agree with, funnily enough.

But hey - HE MIGHT MAGICALLY BECOME A WORLD BEATER AT AGE 27!

Nice to see you'll give the new lad a chance..

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

Evans is woe. Pure woe.

He's the own goal in the derby.

He's the back pass against United that goes horribly wrong.

He's the end of the FA Cup dream.

 

[Joey66]

Get back to you're Howard hating thread you old Joe Royal loving git!..

We need a new centreback and this one comes with great experience and hardly any miles on the clock.

Royle - Doug - that whisky is strong tonight!
How dare you take my heroes name in vain!lol
I love T Howard when he leaves for the MLS!

 

[carolinablue232]

and for the other 35 or so games?

What will he be doing?

So if you don't start every game you're a benchwarmer? At what point do you lose that moniker? Hibbert is a bench warmer. Evans will not be.

There's a difference between 'giving the new lad a chance' and pretending a player is good when he blatantly isn't.

There's only so many 'questionable, trust the manager' signings that can be made, I'm afraid.

It's not like Martinez has masses of credibility and good-will from last season still in the bank.

 

[Michaelcoyb]

You enjoy looking at 15 year old United supporter twitter accounts or something?

Im glad you are talking some sense. When did we get all of these glory hunter supporters who are only happy with latin or continental european signings?

 

[carolinablue232]

1. Coleman
2. Hibbert
3. Stones
4. Browning
5. Evans/Jagielka

At right back that is.

Hibbert will not be second choice. And if you pick Stones, that means Evans replaces him in the middle. Browning will be a spot player. Bet Evans will get more time there than all of them unless it becomes Stones rb and Evans cb.

 

[Joey66]

It's paper talk just a link- Van Gal will nurture anything to clear deadwood ! The offers are now down to 6 million from the asking price of 10 million!

 

[Caolam]

He has won 3 Premiership medals, 1 world club medal, 2 league cup medals and 4 charity shield medals, he has played nearly 200 times for a team who have consistently finished higher than us. He really is second rate, nowhere near good enough for our squad.

 

[Joey66]

Nice to see you'll give the new lad a chance..

Has he signed yet Doug - we got a cup to win on Sat!

 

[ah11984]

Just not Ferguson or Martinez.

Yawwwwwn.

Professional football managers never ever make any mistakes about a professional footballers ability, therefore we should never have a different opinion to them, we should merely bow down to their superior knowledge.

Just like the Wigan players who had FA cup medals! One good signing out of three of them hey!

 

[Frank Butcher]

8 million for Jonny Evans would be terrible business for me especially for a player in the last year of their contract.

There is a bit of a difference between winning one cup medal and the haul Evans has amassed at the age of 27. Last season we were not talking about winning medals we were looking at the club's around us and wondering we're we would get enough points to survive. I am not saying he is the signing we have been waiting for but the vitriol being heaped upon him for being linked to us is ridiculous.

Too many memories of the pointer Phill Neville perhaps?
