I'm strangely unconcerned about this sort of nonsense if they put their all in on the field - I don't expect footballers to be saints, I'm not sure why people are surprised at this sort of thing. We have a weird collective set of morals concerning 'unimportant' people in the public eye. This is a club! With his employers taking them away before allot of big fixtures for premier league survival! I wouldn’t want that to happen to us if we are struggling next season!

Not even sure we'll pay the £100k/w Evans wants either. All well and good having a small release clause but unless he wants to take a wage cut, he ain't coming here. That’s ridiculous isn’t it jeez.

tiredclimb Posted 20 May 2018 Share Posted 20 May 2018 Can understand reservations about the Barcelona incident. WBA a mess from top to bottom though and can understand player frustrations with how the club is managed both on the pitch and off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that ok? the club dont want to pay a big agent fee - it goes against our ethos. We aren’t at the top of those tables and clearly not interested in setting precedent for future deals. some accountant somewhere will find a way around it to everyone’s satisfaction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban.spaceman Posted 21 May 2018 Share Posted 21 May 2018 So it turns out quite a lot of us aren't "street" enough to know what Doug means. I'm baffled personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the most likely case. I'm sure if we really want the player we can negate the agents fee and £100k a week wage demands by supplementing the signing on fee. Better not to pay the player £100k a week and cause resentment to the better players who are on similar or much less as it causes resentment. We'll probably insist on paying £2m agents fee, £60k-£70k a week wages and the signing on fee will be negotiated to supplement it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesWelshFox Posted 21 May 2018 Share Posted 21 May 2018 So we spend a good chunk of the season moaning that Wes is past it, but then we want to replace him with Evans ! A couple of years younger granted, but equally slow, played in a defence leaking goals, for a club that git relegated, when the club was struggling where was his leadership, just looking out for himself. Out of the two give me Wes any day. A couple of years older, probably slower, played in defence for a club that finished 9th when all said and done, and leads with respect and dignity. Mawson, Gibson or Jack Stephens - younger with room to improve, all got a point to prove, and could play here for another 8-10 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Morgan hadn't played PL football until he was 30. West Brom turned down bids up to £25m from Man City, Arsenal and ourselves in the last year so that should tell you something of his quality. I personally think a motivated Evans would be a brilliant fit for us to organise our young defence and pass on his experience to Maguire and the young Ndidi or Choudhury sat in front of him. After Perieira he's the signing I really want. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieTodger Posted 21 May 2018 Share Posted 21 May 2018 I really think he & Maguire would make an excellent CB pairing. For a combined £20m, it's great business. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't exactly leak goals, in fact they leaked less than us, they just didn't score many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 21 May 2018 Share Posted 21 May 2018 (edited) Don't know why people are saying Evans is too old. Morgan didn't make his PL debut til he was in his 30s. Edited 21 May 2018 by AKCJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
