AKCJ Posted 19 January 2018 Posted 19 January 2018 8 hours ago, Wookie said: Comparable player to Dragovic, both reasonably mobile, similar build, decent but not spectacular on the ball and Dragovic is 4 years younger. Dragovic - £15m (ish) Evans - £30m Signing players from other premier league clubs generally is daft as they can hold out for big money. I know he played well last week but we're going a bit over board on Dragovic. Evans is an accomplished defender at this level and has god knows how much experience. Bringing him in would be superb business. But I expect he'll go to Manchester City. 2
surrifox Posted 19 January 2018 Posted 19 January 2018 W brom can't / won't buy the striker they need until they sell , so their options are limited as most of the rest of their squad would be of no great value. If man city are cooling then West Brom will get more like 20 than 30 mill for Evans
dpjfox Posted 19 January 2018 Posted 19 January 2018 im not sure but i thought Dragovic was out of contract with his German club in the summer and hence free to talk to interested clubs, im sure were one of them and if free it surely has to be done

winteriscoming Posted 19 January 2018 Posted 19 January 2018 Would rather sign dragovic and ben gibson. More long term potential with both. 1
Fox92 Posted 19 January 2018 Posted 19 January 2018 Good player, I like Evans but at his age it needs to be a decent price.
lcfc sheff Posted 19 January 2018 Posted 19 January 2018 It's not my money so not concerned with the cost for his age, what's important is whether he is a player who can take us up a level in defence; i'd argue yes. As much as Dragovic has played decently for us recently and is young, there is no room for sentiment for a player we don't have to sign up, especially when a player of Evans quality is on the market. GGGGGEEEEERRRRRRIIIIIIIIMMMMMMNNNNN

GGGGGEEEEERRRRRRIIIIIIIIMMMMMMNNNNN There is literally LITERALLY no sentiment with Dragovic??? So far so good and hes proved good enough so far. The only sentiment would be still playing Wes Morgan if Dragovic is still playing well and keeping clean sheets. Edited 19 January 2018 by les-tah 1

Replacing 33 year old CB with a 29 year old at the sort of prices being bounded about by the press is crap business. Mind you, this fits our recent DNA. I really hope we do not do this.

Agree on long term potential - but Evans is currently better than both and I'd have him in a heartbeat...

He's an outstanding defender playing in a poor team. And I'm not using 'outstanding' lightly. He'd walk straight into any team outside the big six, and a couple of those in there! 1

MPH Posted 19 January 2018 Posted 19 January 2018 2 hours ago, FIF said: Swap Evans for Ulloa and Musa. I sanction this deal. Please proceed and make it happen. 2
MPH Posted 19 January 2018 Posted 19 January 2018 Does make you wonder about the injuries to both Huth and Morgan... Just how bad they both are... maybe we'll be getting dragovic and Evans? Puel did seem to suggest Dragovic will wait until the summer and that certainly leaves the door open for us to consider evans and then decide on the futures of Huth and Morgan in the summer.

Taking emotion out of it, because we do all love Huth, I can see him not being extended when his contract expires in the summer. Hasn't played a first team minute and at some point we do have to move on.

I feel people are just reacting on this moment in time in relation to Dragovic, so yes there is sentiment.
