We should offer Sakho to Manchester City. They are running for a central defender and £30 mill won't be an issue for Pep. Sakho is better than Johny Evans any day of the week.

You realise Evans is purely to fill up their HG quota. He won't even make the match day squad 😂.

I'd take Evans over Otamendi and Stones tbh. Stones can't defend and Otamendi is City's very own Lovren. Evans is not the fanciest name around but City need players who defend first and foremost and Evans gives them that. Him and Kompany will make a decent partnership at the back, at least better than what we have got.

Evans will walk into their team if Pep values defending at all. He is a great defender. Sakho isn't anywhere near as composed, good in the air, or strong in the tackle.

Evans is a proper defender. He managed to get game time at United in a period where they had Vidic and Ferdinand still playing well which says it all for me.

City may just have bagged a bargain in my opinion. He is better than Mangala and Stones by a mile, and is far less panicky than Otamendi when under pressure.

Anybody on here who thinks Evans is a bad defender is kidding themself.

Disagree, MK. Evans is awful and would be found out in our system where we don't park the bus, like WB do.

{Ed001's Note - Evans did alright at Man Utd when he was often left one on one due to the way they played.}

Agreed Mk Scouser. And he has had a few years to train under Tony Pulis himself. The motto is defend first and foremost, and be brave and put your body on the line. Otamendi and Stones would not know what that means, Evans does and City need that now.
