Hard for me to be that opposed to it given we're playing Holding, Chambers, Mertesacker (and even Mustafi is woefully inconsistent) regularly at the moment.

Evans is no fool and he'd be an improvement right now for sure.

On the face of it you're right. I'm against it purely because of the consequences of his purchase. I'd rather we either aim higher or stick with what we've got until we get a top class defender some time in the next year or so.

I'd rather not be spending money on the likes of Evans who at 29 isn't likely to improve (and is probably only heading in the opposite direction) and will most likely leave those in charge feeling defence is not an issue for the next few years.

Seriously though - I'd accept Evans as a short-term solution if Wenger is hellbent on signing him, but make no mistake: he's just going to be another Squillaci or Debuchy for us. He has no use beyond this season. He's not a starting player unless we're aiming for another season in Europa League, and the second he realises that he will tail off and become a burden. He's 30. His last big move will be all about picking up a paycheck and maybe the odd cup to improve his CV.

Everything about him screams bad signing with this in mind.

Rohit

We are signing him mostly because there is faith in others like Chambers, Holding, Bielik and the "greek boy" to come good.

Big Willie

Which is completely the wrong way to go about building a squad even if true. We've been making these same mistakes ever since we started dismantling the Invincibles.

Fuck Johnny Evans. He's not going to improve us. We aren't going to stop shipping goals with him in the team and he'll be declining as a player every season from here on out. What a spectacular waste of money he'd be. I'd much rather play Chambers or Holding for the rest of the season than sign such a mediocre player.

100% agree

Then don’t sign anyone. We’ve got Kos and Nacho to play the old experienced pros role. Evans just doesn’t make any sense though, and very unlike Wenger. At least the likes of Squilachi and Mert were dirt cheap.

Preach. Disgusting character too with a face that only a blind mother would love

We’ve offered 10m plus Debuchy apparently. Not clear if the 10m is for Debuchy or Evans.

I can't wait to see an Evans, Mkhitaryan, Welbeck spine. That will be a new low.

Might as well bring Silvestre back as a defensive coach

Doc

I don't mind it. AW has proven time and time again that he isn't the greatest and coaching defenders. Have no faith in any of our young defenders to become top players under Wenger. Bring in experienced defenders on a regular basis who don't need a lot of coaching. If he is an organizer, even better. It's what we need.

And to top it all, watch Ozil join the evil empire in the summer. Depressing stuff

I know you are half joking but welbeck will never start and mhki is hardly a 'spine' player.

Evans is fine, has won more than all our team put together.

arsedocmd

He hasn't won a world Cup yet

Johnny Evans is a good defender and would 100% improve us. His age isn’t ideal though.

I agree
