Besides, its surely buisness 101 that you dont accept nor expect the first offer to be accepted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 14 June 2017 Share Posted 14 June 2017 A super solid defender who'd do well at our club. Interesting to see that in Maguire and Evans we are looking closer to home for signings, which is something the FT faithful have wanted for a while. I'm not convinced we need to buy two centre backs, but had we got Evans for 10M, I would consider that a fantastic deal. I like that we are doing business already, and are getting in players we need that will improve the first team. Last year we took way too long and signed players we didn't really need. This is a promising sign already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 14 June 2017 Share Posted 14 June 2017 Jonny Evans, hmmmm not sure on that one. He's OK but a bit basics only sort of player. Though I suppose it makes sense if we're replacing Wes and Huth for like for like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he is shit the same guy who played in the heart of WBA defence that conceded very little last season and a fantastic finish, the same player who can actually control a football rather than hoof, also has 4 title wins on his CV. Yes no one would be happy with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bablemikey Posted 14 June 2017 Share Posted 14 June 2017 Underwhelmed by this news. I've never felt he was anything other than average, if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Posted 14 June 2017 Share Posted 14 June 2017 Big part of a defence that performs ALOT better than our does. Especially last year. He's also been a big reason that a very poor N.Ireland have been massively over performing recently. More comfortable with the ball at his feet than our current centre backs and has more PL experience than them too. (Huth arguably has more) If we can get him for somewhere around the quoted figure I would be happy and I wasn't even sold on the fact that we needed two new CB's.

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 14 June 2017 Share Posted 14 June 2017 Definitely have Evans. Underrated, very good defender. Unlikely West Brom will sell though, understandably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 14 June 2017 Share Posted 14 June 2017 West Brom have turned down a £10m bid from Leicester for Northern Ireland skipper Jonny Evans. It is thought Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare wants Evans in addition to another central defender, Harry Maguire, who is about to join the club from Hull for £17m. It is understood West Brom dismissed the Evans bid instantly and have no intention of selling the player, who still has two years remaining on his contract. The 29-year-old joined West Brom from Manchester United in a £6m deal two years ago. He has made 62 Premier League appearances for the Baggies and, following the departure of Darren Fletcher to Stoke, would be a major contender to take over as captain. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/40028285 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Earle Posted 14 June 2017 Share Posted 14 June 2017 Pulls has used him in midfield and left back this season, as well as CB. He's a quality, experienced PL CB - Arsenal wouldn't have tabled an offer if he wasn't decent. i agree with, was it Babs?, add another CB & move Benny on. We'd have four proven PL CBS, plus Simpson, Fuchs & Amartey if needed due to injury or formation. Pulis always wants to add pace to his squad so there may yet be legs in some sort of swap deal involving Musa. It's a yes please from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted 14 June 2017 Share Posted 14 June 2017 Worth a pop but he's way too valuable to them. Him and Maguire would be a nice new pairing for the future, no more hoofs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bit easier to not concede many when you have 9 men who don't go over the half way line. 90% of you lot are mad or should I say, don't know what you are talking about! I bet you think John O'Shea or Wes Brown were a top notch defenders with 'x' amount of titles under there belts as well. Never thought much of Evans and I'd be most disappointed if we signed him. While Smalling is available - what are we doing ****ing around with this twat for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We basically set up the same way as west brom. Having Maguire and Evans means we will be able to defend deep but also be more effective in possesion as both of them are good passers and comfortable on the ball. Also, Smalling & Maguire both play RCB? Evans and Maguire would offer a better balance at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannythefox Posted 14 June 2017 Share Posted 14 June 2017 We must know something to bid for him if there's NO chance of getting a player most club don't even bid. I'd be happy to see him here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't rate Evans; I think he is over rated; I don't want him at our club as he is shit. Imo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
