Evans had 2 or 3 years of Pulisball before us and he turned out fine. Even if he's not the finished article, he'll have good experience from being coached defensively by Gravel Throat as well as playing around Tarkowski and Mee. I wouldn’t say it is necessarily about him forgetting but more that so far in his career he hasn’t yet had to be a ball playing centre back, as before Burnley he was at Stoke where he was playing the same kind of role Although it does seem he is pretty fond of the cross field ball so there may be something about him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmono84 Posted 20 June 2022 Share Posted 20 June 2022 He’s been standout player for Ireland and has really impressed me the last set of game he played. For Ireland he looked really good on the ball and I was shocked by how quick he can run for a big lad! Would be an upgrade on Soyuncu in my opinion 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerleeds Posted 20 June 2022 Share Posted 20 June 2022 He's going to be absolute class. Like him or not, Dyche knew how to coach centre backs and he's another one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be an upgrade on Soyuncu in my opinion His all round game shows enough for my to convince me he is a good buy. I wish we had signed him last summer. Some of the dismissive comments on here make me think that some people comment without having seen a player or having any factual knowledge. I’m a big fan of soyuncu and evans but it is clear we are going to need replacements. This guy is only going to get better and I think would improve well here alongside the likes of evans and fofana. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a different situation I admit, but Guehi only cost Palace £18m last season - which doesn't seem too unreasonable. Rumours that Lampard is keen to get him on loan at Everton anyway, so could be another that's out of our hands really. Collins would almost certainly be the cheaper option though.

This cannot be true. Better options and value outside of England at a fraction of the price. Hopefully our Recruitment Team are looking outside of Hampshire this window.

He can play other positions as well and is good with the ball at his feet. We have been watching him for a while and he would suit Brendan's style. The price now might be an issue with Burnley.
