Pleased to hear but 2023 seems a fair while given he's 33 next week.

He’ll replace Kolo Toure when he goes on to manage someone 

[Clever Fox]

A great player who will be here for a long time after his career is over.

Great news !!

[mozartfox]

The New Big Wes.  Great news!!!!!

[StriderHiryu]

Evans is a place on Earth!

 

Leicester City to be more specific!

£3m he cost us. Phenomenal business from the club.

Or 1/4 of a Jeffrey Schlupp, to convert that into the official Leicester City currency.

Please please .....do not do a Slimani comparison.....

[Fox seen in Norwich]

About 4% of the price of a maguire.  And even at 34 he’s still quicker than big HM

Yes it was/is, but before we clap ourselves so hard on the back it hurts, remember-

* we’d try to buy him before for over £20m, and

* West Brom & Evans’ agent set the release fee.

The only (and it’s not a small thing) we did super well was in selling the club to a player who had many options

Great news. I just really hope he retires from international football and focuses on prolonging his career

The Schlupp was obsoleted by the introduction of the Slimani.

To make a signing look good, you convert the price to Slimanis.

To make a signing look bad, you convert the price to Vardys.

Glad he stays, he has the best song at the club currently. 

[Hollyfox]

Great news

 

Been brilliant for us since he joined 

 

Superb player, great experience to pass on to the younger lads and seems to be a great character to have around the place. 

 

Buzzing about this👌💙

[tetly]

Glad we got his future sorted out, I’ve been critical out his performance recently but he is a valuable member of our squad. Good news

[SecretPro]

Fantastic signing when we got him, fantastic signing now. Some of the best business we've ever done as a club. 

[Gravel]

Happy news.

Shut up Steve it was clearly a carefully planned out strategy by the club to get West Brom relegated after lowballing them so we could activate his release clause. 
 

Rudders is a geenyus.

I’d go all out for Micheal Antonio to add that experience for when Morgan/Fuchs go! 

Sorry what does this have to do with Evans signing a contract extension? 
 

[HighPeakFox]

Fabulous news - every signing increases stability and potential for longevity of success.

You'd go all out for a 30 year old winger turned striker to add to experience we lose when two defenders in their mid 30s leave?

[4everfox]

Great business. He's obviously a model professional and a good character to have around all of the young players, and one of the best defenders in the Premier League. He's the player Man United fans wish Maguire was, and I think that's hilarious considering he was one of Sir Alex's favourites for a reason whilst he was manager there. The club management at Man United is a joke that we've benefitted from numerous times.

Nothing to do with position! Just adding experience to the squad. And on a free why not! 

[Hales]

Brilliant news!

[Raw Dykes]

Excellent news. I'll admit I wasn't a huge fan before we signed him, but I'm glad to be proven wrong. He's been a great signing, even when you don't consider the bargain it was. Was a bit worried he might be leaving with him being in the last year of his contract. So glad he's not.
