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.
