Dan LCFC Posted 14 June 2017 Share Posted 14 June 2017 Evans and Maguire would be a very sound centre half pairing I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on pain killers too watching Huth and Morgan play together for the most part last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one would be more then happy to start with both of them first game next season. Also think you would get the best out of Huth and Morgan if they started less games.

I'd play Morgan/Huth against the top 6 (with no European distractions, I think they can still be a good pairing next season) & play the 2 new CB's against everyone else.

We're at the stage now where we have the opportunity to push on and become more than an average club. If we sign 4 or 5 key players this summer and make the commitment to increase the ground capacity, we can become a side that consistently finishes in the top 6 or 7. Having said all that I would still sign Evans. I agree with you we're in a good position but we had the chance to push on when we won the league and we didn't. Yes with 5 keys proven players we can push on but I'd be surprised if we got that many. Need another decent striker for a start and we're not even linked with anyone who proven.

I think one of Morgan or Huth will leave if we bring in both. If the interest from newcastle for Morgan is genuine and it's a good deal for us and him it's likely to be Morgan.

Don't see the logic in that myself. We need genuine competition for places which one or two new CB's would bring. The regular CB pairing or trio (depending on formation) should then be selected on merit by the manager based on what he thinks makes up our strongest defence.

Ozwin Posted 14 June 2017 Share Posted 14 June 2017 Arsenal were after Jonny Evans last season. He'd be an immense capture, let's not beat around around the bush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom27111 Posted 14 June 2017 Share Posted 14 June 2017 Talk of Chris Smalling being available for around £10m. I know who I'd prefer, it doesn't even need thinking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know who I'd prefer, it doesn't even need thinking about. I think both would be class additions, Smalling however has the advantage of being two years younger than Evans, so still a bit more potential. Smalling's recent injury history doesn't worry me that much, didn't Evans go through a similarly tough time not so long ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wymsey Posted 14 June 2017 Share Posted 14 June 2017 He appears to be at the peak of his career, playing-wise, now - so he would be a good addition to the back-line; but can't see WBA, who seem to be building something strong, selling him at this stage.

katieakita Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 A solid pro and if the club have targeted him why not as we look to strengthen the squad and has to be an upgrade on what we had last season especially if we get the Maguire deal over the line.

Vardinio'sCat Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 Smalling is not going to come here, and we probably wouldn't want to pay Man U wage rates anyway. Imo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he would come here if the offer was right. We can offer him 1st team football. Unlikely that Man Utd will want to sell him to Arsenal, Chelsea etc. That said, he will probably end up at Everton alongside the other 40 new signings they want to make.

Hate how people make out like this is a problem when it really isn't. You don't see people saying "Drinkwater can only play Right CM". They're top flight professional footballers playing in the centre of the pitch. Doesn't matter what side they play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 Is there anything in the fact that we appear to have bid for Evans the same week that the maguire deal has been sorted out? it wouldn't have had anything to do with hurrying up the hull board would it ?

Tuna Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 Pay the money, I want Evans on board as well. Would be an excellent signing, he's as good as Huth and 4 years younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmayne7 Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 Pretty sure he won player of the year at United once? Actually quite similar to Darren Fletcher in that he was not good enough for them for the early part of of his career then suddenly became a key player before injury pushed him back. If we could get him for under 15 million he'd be a brilliant signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiley Posted 15 June 2017 Share Posted 15 June 2017 It's not the fee but the wages which would rule this one out i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
