I've read elsewhere that City are after Johnny Evans. Not sure if true but there is one lad I would have happily kept in the squad.

Rumour has it that he used to fight with Jones and Smalling over the physio beds.

I like Evans but he was a confidence player. LVG destroyed his confidence and he looked lost towards the end.

I think a move to City would be a big gamble for both parties, will he play enough? I doubt he would get much game time so when he did play he would feel the pressure imo, so I hope City sign him as he will be a liability, but I also hope he doesn't sign for them as I like the guy and think he is playing at the level he should be.

Keepers like CB's can look good playing for mid-table teams because they get called into action more, doing the things they thrive at. When they step up to the CL clubs level they can sometimes be found wanting as it's a different game, more ball possession, concentration is paramount as it's not hurly burly and scrutiny is intense. It's why Smalling does ok when he has a simple marking job to do more often than not and Rojo. Give them the ball or something to think about and it's lottery time.

Never really rated him hugely tbh, ball was like a hot potato at his feet. No better than Smalling for me.

Disagree thought he was very composed on the ball but he could be and was often bullied by opposing forwards. Question is would he want to spoil his relationship with our fans to go to City and mainly be on the bench.

Evans was our best CB for a while, but agree he is a confidence player. He performed great for us for about 18 months when Rio and vidic were both out at different times giving him a decent run in the team. He may, due to kompanys issues get a similar chance. However I can't see him being any better than 4th choice behind kompany, otanendi, and stones. Even mangala seems a better player to be used as a reserve in my opinion.

Good luck to the lad wherever he ends up.

Personally always felt he looked good with someone experienced next to him. However, when he was the senior CB in the pairing, I thought he looked lost. City need a leader at the back when Kompany's out (which is more often than not) - I'm surprised they didn't offer Terry a contract if they're willing to pay £18m for Evans.
