Hi all read online were online close to Evan's again do you think this is a good signing.
06 Jan 2018 20:54:07
Hes 30 years old, we are not getting his best years. At some point soon he will start going downhill. We don't need players with no future and no future value. Kos is 2 years older and he's struggling big style. I think desperation and short term thinking is wrong.
06 Jan 2018 20:56:56
Yes. Quality addition.
06 Jan 2018 21:12:00
My point is, if all the top six clubs had to sell up their squads tomorrow, i think in worth and value all the teams could get for their players, we would get far less pounds in. Our players are either too old to sell, too far out of contract, or not worth the super amounts some players are going for. We are ending up with a squad that is short sighted and worthless in comparison. Every team in the top six bar us could sell one or two of their players for 100 mil plus, we couldn't. Loyalty to players and bad buying has left us in a bad place in my book. Why do we need another depreciating asset like evans. If its not because of desperation. Most of our players we would have to sell on for a loss, not a profit, that is very poor.

Not good enough.

The only reason we sell at a loss is bad management. Its simple either sign a extension on contract or F*****f. If wenger and the cronies on the board followed this mantra we could have the funds to buy quality and progress.
Arsenal football club is the number one priority. Its the only reason we turn up to games. Yes we like world class stars there but a player giving 100% heart to the club (wilshere) is a lot more satisfying than watching a prima donna holding this club to ransom.

hes no world beater but he's a improvement on what we have.
07 Jan 2018 00:13:34
SU is he really an upgrade, on mert maybe, the others i'm not sure. Plus he's 30 years old, we used to sell them at 30 as over the hill. i'm not excited by the prospect at all.

Arsenal need a CB having sold Gabriel last summer.
Current CB's:
Koscileny - 33 in Sept and carrying a persistent achilles injury
Mertesacker - retiring at the end of the season
Chambers - Poor, never will be a top CB
Holding - Decent young CB, needs experience
Mustafi - Best of the bunch
Monreal - Not a CB
I believe Evans will give us 3 or 4 seasons and at £20-25m is reasonable value in the current market. In the summer we need to sign another CB, a top class one.
07 Jan 2018 09:06:38
What a great description of our defence. made me laugh! How can we even say we take the club seriously with that! Please.
07 Jan 2018 09:47:27
Agree with RG61. he's not my first choice. but the rate we're going were going to struggle to finih in the top 6 let alone champion league places. I can't see us attracting better in Jan and we need people now. It plug a gap that we have left since the summer. Typical Arsenal and their poor Summer transfer windows.
07 Jan 2018 12:38:26
Yes I agree also. I'm not going to get into the money side of things but for the right price could prove a nice piece of business. He wouldn't be long term solution and would like that to be addressed asap.
07 Jan 2018 13:16:46
I remember people championing williams last year. Same type of standard, a few of us on here tried to point out the obvious. he's not getting in the everton side now. Average overated player. Evans for 5 mil, yes, back up, 25 mil most definitely no.
07 Jan 2018 13:42:49
Steve you need to forget about the money mate. You also need to take into consideration our current crop and our situation.
07 Jan 2018 13:56:54
25 mil back up defenders, who aren't going to be playing regular players are fine for teams like citeh, chelski or man u because they all ready have better players and won't ne relying on your jonny evas very often.
07 Jan 2018 14:21:16
If all our scoutng network is coming up with jonny evans, we are in deep trouble. Bye bye CL football for the future.
