Because he plays for Manchester United, every little thing he does on the pitch is highlighted and analysed, especially mistakes. People who don't rate him are focusing or the two or three occasions where he has made a significant mistake which has been intensely highlighted and talked about. Nobody remembers the other 98% of matches he has played for Manchester United where he has been rock steady and not done anything wrong. He is a class player,more than worthy of a place in our back four, a good honest pro too who will give us 100% if he signs.

The biggest question is "is he better than McAuley, Olsson and Dawson?" The answer is yes.

For all the debate that has followed this signing, this is the most important point. It's all about improvement.

Fans of the top 4 naturally have skewed opinions, some will not acknowledge that a player can be good if they are not Champions league quality. To me, Evans fits into the O'Shea/Gibson/Fletcher type category, he will be a good signing but he is not good enough for Man Utd, and there is no shame in that at all.

Jonny Evans is a class above Brown and O'Shea hence why they were sold and he wasn't.

Someone mentioned the Lukaku game, the 5 all. We never got near United until they brought on Scholes who had frankly a shocker, to blame that collapse on Evans is laughable in itself. We were 5-2 down and getting schooled when Scholes was introduced on 69 minutes, from then on Mulumbu bossed the midfield, we had the foresight to take Long off on 79 minutes  :P which produced 2 goals two minutes later and an equaliser a further 5 minutes later. Lukaku should arguably have got himself a 4th and a famous win.

Evans is such an under rated defender, would be a terrific signing, Ferguson trusted him in some massive games and he rarely put a foot wrong, a modern day Steve Bruce.

I'm in the sign him up camp on this one.

better than Fazio who we were going to spend the pennies on IMO.
better than our aging aged C-H trio also.

I have a bit of bias here, but would be very happy with this.

Be good for furthering the Albion interest in Northern Ireland too. Know a good few who look out for the results because of Brunt and McAuley.

Don't curse us you plonker. We've had about 3 people have medicals and not sign so far.

I will trust in his record and hope he's used as an actual CB. But yes, depending on how much we pay and how much we get for Joleon, it's a good upgrade.
Whenever things look bad, remember the Port Vale, Grimsby and Walsall days... not so bad now, eh?!

Albeit that, as was posted earlier, Evans doesn't much like playing on the left side of the central defensive pairing.

True, but I think this is Pulis' top target so he probably won't be allowed to leave the building without having signed on the dotted line ;D

About the same standard as Lescott but 6 years younger!!!

Whether players get to play in their 1st choice position isn't something I'm going to worry much about. If the average defence as of October or so is


Brunt   Evans     Chester       Dawson           or            Brunt         Evans     GMac       Chester

Or something like that, then I'll be happy enough. TP does not sign nor want traditional FBs, so lets give up on that one.

Brunt plays full back for Northern Ireland and seems Chester played right back for Hull a few times last season so neither unfamiliar with the roles.

May as well re-sign Baird and call ourselves West Northern Ireland with that back three. I think there's definite advantages to having players who are also international team mates, will make Evans slot-in hopefully.

The limitations of edited clips aside, he looks reasonably comfortable with either foot though.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzWxMZSRv9g
