MPH Posted 2 August 2019 Posted 2 August 2019 Did we really only pay £3m for him? If so that has to be one of the best purchases we have made in the last 10 years.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 2 August 2019 Posted 2 August 2019 Man Utd pay £80 million for our second best defender, our best defender being the guy they sold 4 yrs ago for a suggested £6m plus add-ons. (Undisclosed fee)
gurru991 Posted 2 August 2019 Posted 2 August 2019 Evans has been a rock for us. Crazy that we paid 3 mil for him. best buy ever !!
LC/FC Posted 2 August 2019 Posted 2 August 2019 Long may the line of continuing bargain amazing central defenders continue. Used to do it with Walsh then Elliot and Taggart. Then in all this time, we bought Wes for 1 million, then found Was to partner him, then when we got promoted we got Huth and now Evans. And Man Utd, who are struggling, having to way overpay on Maguire and moaning about the lack of defensive leadership used to have him on the books, as Captain! What IS the crack that they smoke up there?
urban.spaceman Posted 2 August 2019 Posted 2 August 2019 Seriously good buy. Very shrewd business. Amazing that West Brom left a clause that saw him leave for just £3m. Hilarious too that we paid that in 2 instalments!

And I'm pretty sure we could pay that whenever we wanted. They rejected a bid of £21m from us the window before!
Shane Posted 2 August 2019 Posted 2 August 2019 Fantastic player. If only Huth was a few years younger him and Evans together would be a brick wall.

Would we have bought Maguire if we had bought Evans?

Anglodanglo Posted 2 August 2019 Posted 2 August 2019 Absolute bargain. Took some pelters on here after his first few games. A very important player for us going into the new season. Good on ya Jonny
Bounty Hunter Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 4 hours ago, urban.spaceman said: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5820479/Leicester-City-complete-3-5m-signing-Jonny-Evans-West-Brom.html Reading that Mail article, we got Evans, Ricardo and Maddison that window. Were able to get all 3 for the around price we paid for Tielemans this window, What a nice bit of business that was. Evans becomes Leicester's second signing of the transfer window following the £22m arrival of Porto right-back Ricardo Pereira. Leicester are also leading the race to land highly-rated Norwich playmaker James Maddison in a deal worth around £20m. Everton and Fulham are also said to be interested in the England under-21 international but Maddison is believed to prefer a move to Leicester to be closer to his family.
Shane Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 What if Evans gets injured? He does seem to pick up knocks here and there
Corky Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 11 minutes ago, Shane said: What if Evans gets injured? He does seem to pick up knocks here and there That's the concern. I think Wes could step in for a couple of games and do really well (see after Maguire's sending off at Burnley) but we need another one to feel secure, I reckon.
Poznan34 Posted 3 August 2019 Posted 3 August 2019 I think the Evans injury concerns are being overblown somewhat - he was only absent from 4 PL match day squads last season.
Deeg67 Posted 11 August 2019 Posted 11 August 2019 I'm full of praise for Caglar's performance yesterday, and I think it was fully earned. But I don't think it's a coincidence that there's a recurring them for all of CBs looking their best - it's when they're paired with Evans. He's not a guy whose name is going to get called very often on TV, but he's a rock back there - he makes his partner's job so much easier. Really an incredibly valuable player for us.
Wolfox Posted 13 August 2019 Posted 13 August 2019 Had to share this…. A good mate of mine (we were best man for one and other)…. He’s a gobby git and a Man Utd fan (one of the rare breed actually from Manc) …. Of late i’ve been bombarded with quotes and tweets about how good HM is…. All very amusing/ tedious I pointed out that he was probably our second best defender after Evans… ”Why isn’t Gareth Southgate picking him then, eh???” i’ll be dining out on this for years….

It's the same with Wes.. Shocking that he's never been called up!
Paninistickers Posted 29 December 2019 Posted 29 December 2019 Can poor old Evans be given a few days off now? Surely a break v Geordies and Wigan is due Pack him off to Tenerife with Jet2 together with his family for a week of sun, synthesiser cabaret and hotel bingo
Guest Bob Hazels shorts Posted 29 December 2019 Posted 29 December 2019 Fantastic player His mature approach and the way he calmly manages the defense has brought on Söyüncü massively. Hopefully behind the scenes he's doing the same with Benković as we need a succession plan.

I hope our physio team works doubly hard on him.
