I don't agree with this.
You don't think it's embarrassing to be turned down by a West Brom player?
For me the only thing worse than going for Evans is actually signing him considering what it would mean in terms of our recruitment strategy for defenders over the mext couple years. You just know Wenger operates. He almost always ends up avoiding further strengthening a position for a few years once he buys someone for that position, even if it turns out that the player just isn't working out after a year or two.
Being turned down by Evans however would mean we would have avoided signing yet another average player to be stuck with for the next 4 or 5 years. I'll take a little embarrassment if it means avoiding this signing. And really, by this point we are probably a little too used to being embarrassed supporting Arsenal that being rejected by Evans probably wouldn't even register with me.
