He's won trophys too and has vast experience for a 29 year old... peak of his career... Do it. Yes hope we go back in for him. Would love this to happen. Think he would slot well into our defence and make it considerably stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a head of coaching in the PL who rates him as the best centre-half he's ever seen! Not sure if I'd go that far, but I can't think of any better in PL right now. And yes, I did see your suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Fox Posted 10 July 2017 Share Posted 10 July 2017 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4681146/Transfer-news-LIVE-Latest-Premier-League-Europe.html Leicester lining up new bid for Jonny Evans SIMON JONES: Leicester are lining up a renewed bid for West Brom defender Jonny Evans. Albion insist Evans is not for sale but Leicester believe the 29-year-old Northern Ireland international would be interested in joining them as they continue to test Albion's resolve.

foxes21 Posted 10 July 2017 Share Posted 10 July 2017 After Van Dijk, Evans is arguably the best CB outside the top 6. He's probably better than some of the CB's in the top 6 to be fair like Lovren, Stones, Otamendi & Klavan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted 10 July 2017 Share Posted 10 July 2017 He wants the move. West Brom are playing hardball but I expect him to be a City player come the start of the season. We were in for him when he left United. Personally think it would be a great signing for us given his experience etc & would no doubt help in the development of our young guns Maguire & Chilwell. Very sensible signing if it materialises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callabinho Posted 10 July 2017 Share Posted 10 July 2017 He's brilliant....very underrated, but I think anyone who leaves United tends to be looked upon as not good enough....he's calm and composed in possession, a good organiser and experienced in a winning side....one of West Brom's attributes is defending, this kid being one of the catalyst's...this would be a very solid signing.

He's comfortably the best defender the league has seen for a good 5/6 years now. His appreciation of space, his knowledge of the striker's next move, his timing is all just world class. He's let down by his body but even then you rarely see him out paced or out jumped because of his positioning and timing. Cesar isn't even a centre half, he's played there for 1 season. Like saying Mahrez is the best striker in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kp1984 Posted 10 July 2017 Share Posted 10 July 2017 I'd take Evans over Gibson but guess I'm thinking of now not in 3 or 4 years ?. Evans is better buy for now as his experience is needed to play along maguire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly because Spurs wouldn't stump up the cash. It was more to do with Jeremy Peace and Daniel Levy being tough negotiators and in the end neither won.

Doesn't seem the sort of person to kick off and cause trouble demanding a transfer etc. Usually once a player lets his club know of his intentions they are normally told to sit tight til a replacement is sorted etc. It's still early in the window so clubs aren't just going to sell once they receive a bid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphericalfox Posted 11 July 2017 Share Posted 11 July 2017 I understand that one the reasons he may not want to stay either is that WB let Darren Fletcher go. Dems football friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lfu Posted 11 July 2017 Share Posted 11 July 2017 5 hours ago, Ric Flair said: I think we'll get him but please don't pay more than £20 million for a 29 year old defender. Agreed. Last month Lazio were rumoured to be "considering" our £9m offer for Wesley Hoedt. Even if we doubled that offer he would be better value for money than Evans at £20+m.
