Jonny Evans. Strongly linked by proper newspapers. Hmm.

[MartSlinger]

Still can't wrap my head around him going from uniteds bench to ours.

United are in the market for World Class CB's and Evans wasn't even getting a look in whilst Smalling, Jones and Rojo were playing, so when the World Class players like Otamendi etc join he'll have no chance. He'll get games here.

We're not paying £8mil for someone to sit on the bench/ be back-up.
It's all about competition for places and having different options.
As it stands we have no centre back options. I'm happy with this deal.

 

[Dithering Dougie]

No.

Really you'd prefer to resign Alcaraz and Distin?

 

[Tubey]

This would be an awful signing. Everything from the quality of the player to the fee is wrong.

Just no.

 

[Goat]

Not their s*** ones, no. Are you saying every good team has a squad full to the brim of good players?

If you're happy with this then fair enough, I want better for Everton.

Hes played 200 times for a team thats won the league 3 times in his time there.

I bet you wanted to sign that no mark Van Dickil from Celtic didnt you, 2 words, Ron Vlaar.

 

[Pat's Van]

not sure what you mean by that mate?

well even though his name's johnny, I don't think we should spunk too much on him

 

[Chang Elephant]

Atrocious signing, reeks of mediocrity

 

[Blues Harp]

£8 mill for a Man U reject ...far too much - 3 would be more realistic - as a back up

 

[GwladysBlue]

Really you'd prefer to resign Alcaraz and Distin?

They're all equally atrocious players. He couldn't even get ahead of Phil Jones.

is ron vlaar no good?

 

[GrandOldTeam]

/shakes head.

 

[blue4eva77]

What a guy with experience of playing regular champions league football and winning titles coming into his prime years?

Yeah I reckon that's a big improvement on Alcaraz and an over the hill Distin, don't you?

I've said this elsewhere when on the subject of Evans but my gripe of him is the fee. 8m in todays market can't be sniffed at but its still a chunk of change for us and is too much to spend on a back up.

....... and i really hope he's not playing around with the idea's of a back 3 in his head.

 

[toffeejack]

he's not as bad as everyone makes out, but he's too injury prone. the whole point of a backup is so that they can be readily called upon in times of need. someone who has his injury record throws that theory right of the window and will possibly see us with a centre back partnership of two youngsters should jagielka get injured.

i'd just about take evans for a minimal fee as 4th choice, especially with the guarantee of either or both of galloway and browning going out on loan. but that's never going to happen. it's a bit of a "safe" signing in the cleverley mould. ah well, see if it happens and then see how he does before fuming.

 

[SpurtingLesbian]

he makes Kone look fast and mobile.

6-8m aint much these days. make it happend bobby, he'll be fine cover for us and no doubt will get games, his motivation will surely be high. he gets new star here. left footed too and pretty comfortable with ball. i will welcome him and fight anyone who disagrees with me.
