Beyond that I think we’ll replace Mahrez with Roberts and hopefully as you say a class no10 and we are absolutely in business for top 6. Positive about Mahrez going to Man City is that on last season they can’t improve much, they’ll be winning the league again regardless. If we sold him to a shithouse like Arsenal they might actually prevent us from taking 6th, as a loose example. If we replace Mahrez with Roberts we are in big trouble, a experienced PL player who be involved in scoring or assisting 20 goals, for a kid who had one decent season in a backwater league and has struggled with injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple Roberts with an overall superior and less reliant team on Mahrez and we will be fine more than fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfcrinaldi Posted 19 May 2018 Share Posted 19 May 2018 I would absolutely be on board with us getting Evans, so long as we are not spending much at all on him, would be a great player to sit next to Maguire, even if for just a season or 2. I'd love for us to sign Mawson as well/instead of Evans, but I think there will be clubs (like Everton springs to mind) who are willing to blow a fortune on him. Equally I think it would be great to get Drago permanently, but after how little he's been played this season, I don't think he will be too interested. It's time to say goodbye to Wes as a starting 11 CB though and people are seriously sniffing around Maguire. So maybe we should be in the market for 2 CB's, at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 20 May 2018 Share Posted 20 May 2018 12 hours ago, Gerard said: I read the West Brom forum about him. They weren't over excited about signing a Man utd "reject" but they thought he was the best player at the club for his first two years. Last year they thought he was a shitehawk for throwing his rattle out the pram for not getting his move to Man City. No question about his quality though. This is the thread from when he first started playing for them. http://westbrom.com/forum/index.php?topic=17079.175 Brilliant. Just what this squad's been lacking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizerud Posted 20 May 2018 Share Posted 20 May 2018 (edited) I hear the arguments against the signing but thinking about it for about two seconds....7m for a guy who will walk into our first team whether we play two or three CBs sounds like pretty damn good business to me. Who else is realistically available and a certifiably a better option and who won’t cost at least 4x as much? And if there is someone, well, buy them too. We still need em. I’d like us to sign Dragovic, ideally, in addition to good Evans. I understand he’s a right here right now solution but that’s what we need.

SheppyFox Posted 20 May 2018 Share Posted 20 May 2018 Was hoping to see a nice morning triple announcement. Marlon, Roberts and Evans all stood there holding scarfs and Vardy signing a new deal ?? Asking too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realist Guy In The Room Posted 20 May 2018 Share Posted 20 May 2018 Evans is proven quality. He’s affordable and alongside Maguire will be a perfect replacement for Morgan. Get it done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 20 May 2018 Share Posted 20 May 2018 can't see this happening unless the agent reduces his fee. Which I doubt will happen. Not even sure we'll pay the £100k/w Evans wants either. All well and good having a small release clause but unless he wants to take a wage cut, he ain't coming here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the baggies Captain you would have expected him to have been a better off the pitch leader than he showed last season and also went missing a bit at times. Despite him being a quality player I am not sure the club should be paying the ridiculous agent fee and also a 3 or 4 year deal worth £15m- £20m - I think we can do better!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm strangely unconcerned about this sort of nonsense if they put their all in on the field - I don't expect footballers to be saints, I'm not sure why people are surprised at this sort of thing. We have a weird collective set of morals concerning 'unimportant' people in the public eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
