What's going on is that they are all bored to tears of the manager and his style. And when people don't enjoy their work they look for a better job

In a nut shell.

It's significant that Evans has not signed the Â£100k a week deal we are supposed to have offered him

supposedly offered him...

I think if Everton come in, the money he is on wont matter as he is never going to have a poor wage, he will go?

If its just Leicester then it might be a decision on ambition, they match our valuation, I think he will go?

Johnnie Evans is our best player, he is a winner and with the amount of rumours I think its being driven by his agent and if we don't match his ambition he will look for it elsewhere. Fletch was a big factor in him coming and his mates rush to get out of the Hawthorns tells you a lot about what they were promised and what they have seen.

If Everton make an offer for Evans, I think we should do exactly what they do. Work out his true value, and multiply the figure by 3. They always over inflate the value of the players they sell. Talking about Â£80 million now for Lukaku, not to forget Â£6 million for Anichebe. They've just bought the Ajax captain Klaasen for Â£23.6 million. Bet you if they sell him next year it will be for at least Â£60 million.

If we were to give Evans 100k per week, is this a way of making it 'easier' to offer bigger wages to prospective signings e.g. Carvalho or similar level signings ? i.e. a new player wouldn't come straight in on more money than our current best player.

You are only allowed to increase your wage budget by Â£7m each season for STCC (Short Term Cost Control) in financial fair play so I doubt it would help too much to be honest, this rule is the one that will help kill us at this level. We've been fortunate enough to get some earners off our books to give us some wriggle room but let face it Â£100k-a-week for Evans takes some of that back up. This rule is the reason Arsenal look like they have to sell a couple of players to cover the cost of new contracts for Ozil and Sanchez.

Everton come in his gone they seem to be going places and we ain't can't blame Evans

Everton are flattering to deceive I feel. They'll be no better than they have always been. Especially without Lukaku (see post Bale Tottenham)

There's no comparison between them and us, financially they are giants - they have Koeman, Bolaise, Schneiderlin, Lukaku and it would be a no brainer for Evans to want a move there if they offered.

Really I'm sure Man U with their 2 star signings would have pushed them well over and c. Palace no other club talk about ffp except our fans !!

Agreed, they also have new stadium plans, European football and a wealthy backer. To keep Koeman they'll be spending more. It would be a big draw for Evans.

I don't think he'll be leaving, only clubs he could go to that would be enough of a step up to warrant moving are Everton and maybe Arsenal (if they panic). Neither would be willing to pay the Â£20-30m we'd demand for a 29 year old. Also can't see Sevilla/Valencia coming in so doubt he'll leave for Spain just yet.

Manchester United have huge income streams that we just don't have so can use that to increase their by much more than we can. Last I saw Palace had a wage bill was at least Â£10m a year less than ours so again have more room to do deals than we do.

In letting Jonas and Fletcher go we have freed up just over 100k a week in wages to be put back into the team.

add in Gardner's wages as well which was somewhere between 20-30k that is a good chunk of extra cash we have to use

Maybe I'm being naive but sure I saw an interview on Sky Sports, even after Darren Fletcher's departure, saying he was happy here

All the info in that story is about 2 weeks old. If it was in The Telegraph I'd be more concerned.

kirk · « **Reply #716 on:** June 29, 2017, 08:37:39 AM »

Someone is leaking prob his agent, Leicester wouldn't have made a bid without talking to his agent first to see if he would join.

Standard of reporting is getting worse by the day. Doesn't help that it's part of the Mirror.

Adverts everywhere make it very difficult to read articles.

Im very worried about losing Evans, dont think it will be to Leicester though

I really hope he stays he is a class player

tuamigos · « **Reply #720 on:** June 29, 2017, 04:38:12 PM »

Reported in the Mirror ( I know

) he's considering his future after seeing Fletcher leave and Leicester renew their interest.

WBArgo · « **Reply #721 on:** June 29, 2017, 05:10:57 PM »

Everton in advanced talks with Michael Keane from Burnley - which probably means Evans won't go there

I imagine Leicester will bid Â£15 million, get rejected and that will be that.

Nice1Cyrille · « **Reply #722 on:** June 29, 2017, 06:08:54 PM »

Albion held on to Saido until they were ready to part ways, I don't see this being any different. It'll take 20 mil or more for Evans to move on.

Bilston Dan · « **Reply #723 on:** June 30, 2017, 12:00:50 AM »

Johnny Evans is a top quality defender. He was a coup of a signing. I'd love to keep a hold of him but in true Albion style we will get as much as we can for him.

Going nowhere this season,Pulis has installed him as captain,phew.
