You have no idea what kind of person johnny evans is yet you speculate away if that makes you feel better about your argument. What you don't see is that we're all speculating but you're a cup half empty guy and i'm a cup half full guy, which i'd rather be any day of the week.
With all due respect but the world is at the feet of players like Ronaldo, Messi and Kaka (if you can say that), definately not Evans. Mind as stated in numerous occasions the boy has potential, but its too early to judge whether he will make it at this level, let alone saying that he has the world at his feet etc.

And ive been watching Evans with both Sunderland and our reserves long enough to build an opinion. As I said he is good (altough both Wes and OShea showed greater promise at his age) but he is yet light years away from reaching the levels where you can say that he made it. At least at our club's level.

PS Im not being pessimistic.....just a bit realistic.
