My gf is a big utd fan so I end up watching 20/30 of there games a season on tv and a few live.
A couple of years ago he was in really good form and with Vidic Evra and Ferdinand at the end of their careers and Rafael still slightly raw he was comfortably their best defender. Never really did much wrong since then but has never really been considered a big enough name to be a regular started for Utd and in truth compared to players Like Ferdinand, Vidic, Stam etc isnt good enough to be a top 4 sides number 1/2 centre back.
However for us I think he would be a tremendous signing. With players from clubs like Utd I think there fringe players fall in to 2 categorys. The bang average ones made to look a lot better because they play for a top side (personally I've always had Fletcher in this category, Cleverley is another) and the ones who look average but are actually very good 2nd tier PL players, made to look more average because they are not as good as the players around them. Id firmly place Evans in the 2nd category. My onoy concern is that at £10m we are massivlry overpaying, not on ability but on his contract status, role within the Utd squad and that CB isnt a position we need to spend £10m on in my opinion with other areas needing adressing. However id the price of nearer £5m is correct its a no brainer move, especially is Lescott is going as he has played as the le centre badk for Utd. Saying that he will probably end up playing left back for us and all the above is irrelevant.
