HK85 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Evans is a good centre back and you'd imagine it would only be for backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcanuck Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Could this have something to do with the homegrown quota? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want him badly, they'll get him. Looks odd on the outside but he's a good defender and he's not going to be a regular starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Culture Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I don't think this is that odd. Evans has proven to have been one of West Brom's key players since joining there, he plays regularly, he's experienced through his time at Manchester United, he's British, he come through the academy here and he's relatively cheap in today's market so he could be more than adequate back-up while City try and compete in four different trophies.

6666 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 A defender that concentrates on defending usually isn't Guardiola's type of defender... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Blue Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 It seems Pep doesn't want Mangala so just do a straight swap if we have to have Evans for the quota ...WBA get a better defender and we get a homegrown to sit in the stands next to Delph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Johnny Evan is certainly not below average. Utd should have kept him and booted Smalling and Jones...not the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted August 18, 2017 Administrator Share Posted August 18, 2017 it only seems odd because they've been splashing the cash on so much quality in the rest of their side that they then resort to an ex-Utd, unstylish defender which doesn't really suit them. It's not exactly one of the first names you'd pick if you were put in as Man City boss and you needed a defender with so many millions to spend. It most certainly is linked with the homegrown quota necessity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
