Apparently the first thing Darren Moore did when taking over was to drop Evans an results instantly picked up. Hopefully they are just being bitter about him leaving and this isn’t another Matt Mills situation. For 3.5m I would say it's certainly worth the risk. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has that feel about it and hopefully he can really shine here in his prime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any team relegated are going to slate their players, especially after the taxi incident and also this ridiculously cheap get out clause! They were raving about him when first joined and no doubt still would be if they had managed to stay up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumbleFox Posted 6 June 2018 Share Posted 6 June 2018 So far so good. Nice to see us signing quality players for positions we really need. I hope the fans give credit where it is due and if things start slowly I hope we remember that most of use are behind the signings made so far. Bar the Mahrez conundrum I think we are assembling a very good squad. X 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the first thing Darren Moore did when taking over was to drop Evans an results instantly picked up. Hopefully they are just being bitter about him leaving and this isn’t another Matt Mills situation. The general consensus from West Brom fans isn't he's declining (he's only 30 which is prime for a centre half) but that he was rubbish last season after having his head turned by Man City. They'll tell you he was outstanding the first two years there as will Alex Ferguson only have good things to say about him in his Man Utd days. Whilst it's not defendable for him to have a downturn in form since his Man City interest was rebuffed by the Baggies it is understandable. It's a new club foe Evans and I wouldn't expect him to come here on anything but a high and a new chapter and if we see the real Jonny Evans we'll be gushing at what a steal he was a couple of months into the season. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucey Posted 6 June 2018 Share Posted 6 June 2018 This deal is 10-15m cheaper than Drago even with extortionate agent fee, it's no wonder we weren't massively keen on the latter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't like the idea of going into the season with Wes as our 3rd choice. Any injury to our starting two and we have Wes! Hopefully we are looking at signing a young up and coming prospect to be our 3rd choice. Also interested to see Amartey get a few cup games at CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sousa Sven 15/16 transfer window debacle Adrien Silva fiasco These things have all happened, but we've clearly improved on all fronts. Changing the way we do things, getting in a Head of Scouting with European experience, doing our business early to avoid another Silva situation. Bringing in better quality players to align with our goal of getting into Europe. We don't learn as quickly as I would like, but when you look at the madness that's happening just up the road at Villa, it makes me pretty happy to have people in charge that recognise when things go wrong and proactively try to sort it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tielemans63 Posted 6 June 2018 Share Posted 6 June 2018 I'd imagine most West Brom players struggled to shine when being managed by Alan Pardew for half a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyPalace.com Posted 6 June 2018 Share Posted 6 June 2018 So its all Evan's fault WBA got relegated. Load of Crap! If he was that poor I am sure they would of sold when Man City OR us came calling last time. Sour Grapes.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza M Posted 6 June 2018 Share Posted 6 June 2018 I think this is the end of Dragovic. The players are very similar in stature and their styles. Interesting to see if this is the only CB we get in or whether Wes stays as back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 6 June 2018 Share Posted 6 June 2018 I like the fact we've signed another captain. Always a bonus when there's leaders in the team. Morgan - yeah he won't play as much but you can guarantee his experience in the squad will be huge for younger players Maguire - previousy captain at Hull, good leadership skills in general anyway Iborra - previously captain at Sevilla, helped them in their Europa League success I think? Schmeichel - has previously been captain for us as well as Denmark I believe in the past. Vardy - my choice for captain next year; again experience of his time here let alone in his career will help massively. Adrien Silva - captain at Sporting, obviously has that experience there and expect him to perform better with less controversy this season. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar the Mahrez conundrum I think we are assembling a very good squad. X I was thinking the same Rumble. The club copped some deserved stick for the dreadful signings in the summer of 2016 but since then our business* has been decent (with the exception of the Silva **** up). In: Evans- £3m Pereira- £15m Iheanacho - £25m Silva - £22m Iborra - £11m Maguire - £11m Diabete - £2m Dragovic- loan Jakupovic - free Out: Drinky - £35m ( ) Zieler - £4m Lawrence- £5m Hernandez- £1m Jazzy Jeff- £12m Jury is still out on Silva and Nacho (I think they'll come good) but otherwise, that's a respectable recent record imho. * figure are purely from memory...and I have a shite memory.

Probably rub other players the wrong way to give him the Captaincy straight away, but I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes it after a season.
