[Albion] Jonny Evans

[Super Sub]

With us still looking vulnerable at the back and a little light in numbers, i wonder if it may be worth a punt on this guy for a season. He is a very good player/leader as i'm sure most will agree and has an abundance of experience both home and abroad. Looks like Man U might not extend his short term contract either.
Its a yes from me, if only for a season as back up

Wait! What?

Paging @Dr. No

 

[brighton_tom]

No thank you.

 

[Badger Boy]

I don't think we need more CBs but we are definitely short at full back.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Would be good to be more clear in the title that this is just you suggesting him as an option.

Ps where is @Dr. No ?

 

[schmunk]

35, released by relegated Leicester, currently on a short term contract with Man U and conceded 3 goals against Wrexham yesterday.

What's not to like?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Sure, why not? Can never have too many 35 year olds

We have a currently injured Dunk, an injury prone Webster, an untested Igor and a young JPVH currently. Imho we still need 1 more centre back and preferably one with experience. Given our budget isn't a bottomless pit, i wonder who others think would be more appropriate on a free transfer?
RDZ still looks to be wanting Colwill and so that suggests he thinks we are light in this position too.

It needing to be a free transfer is a completely artificial criteria. You may as well say can anyone think of a more appropriate solution where the person has the initials JE.

If we need another one, we could just buy or loan a good one rather than an even more perma injured old washout because he happens to be free.

It's like the ghost of Ben's Grandad (RIP) has logged on to NSC from above.

Agree that we need one more but quality wise that one more shouldn’t be Jonny Evans.

That is your opinion and you are of course entitled to it. I don't think we should pay a fee for a back up centre half and so am only making the suggestion of free transfer.
Not aimed at you but if someone would offer an alternative rather that just jumping on the piss take bandwagon it would be good to have a decent discussion re this

Any thoughts on who Tom?

Julio Enciso. It'd be a bit of a laugh!

OK, message recieved and understood. And no mucking about now RE: serious discussion. I'd go for Franco Baresi.

In an ideal world we get Colwill. Outside of that I don’t know who fits the specific criteria we need in terms of a centre back who’s comfortable with the ball at his feet and making those forward passes. Centre back is an essential position with RDZ’s plan. Evans is well past his best and not the type we need. If we get another who’s not Colwill I would guess an unknown from a South American or Scandi league gets selected.
