I've seen what Evans said and that was that he wanted to return to United, but if we decided to sell him, he'd like to stay at Sunderland. I think he'll be back with us, with Pique going elsewhere next season, although I hope it would be on loan. They ARE top talents.
If Evans had half the talent Maldini has than he would have won his place already. Gaz (whose nowhere near Maldini) was only 20 yrs old and still raw but he won his place, despite having to compete with England's right back Paul Parker.

What Im trying to say is that we should wait and see what this player do at the highest level, to determine whether he is a truly great talent or not. There is a big difference between doing well at Sunderland/Westbrom/Celtic level and doing it at top EPL level.

Now if Pique and Evans want to wait for their chance then well and good, if not then they should go. One thing is certian, football is not an easy ride, whether youre playing with Manchester United or not and former 'great talent' like the new Bruce Ronnie Wallwork and the new Gaz John Curtis knows that pretty well.
