I still rate Evans, so I would be happy to see him play with Rojo. In saying that, I do accept the view that if a defender is leaving, it's Evans.

Evans and Smalling has seemed a good combo when I've seen it. We'd probably have been playing it had Evans not got himself banned.

He is our worst CB these days and I don't want to see him playing if any of Smalling, Jones, Rojo, and even fecking McNair are available.

Helen can stay at Old Trafford.

But he can really go.....he is again injured :lol:
He must be gone. He's older than Smalling and Jones, gets injured just as much if not more, and performs at a lower level. It's a shame but we can't carry him anymore. It will be interesting to see who comes in for him.

Rumours Arsenal and Everton are interested

That's gotta be the life. He was suspended then Van Gaal gave him some free time... and now he's back to being injured. Surprise, surprise...

how has he managed to get himself injured, having sat out a 6match ban?!

Got to be shipped out.

You can't see us not buying a centre back, so he'd be scuffling with McNair and Blackett to be 5th choice

How is it even possible.. He had such promise, really hasn't worked out for him
While he may not have gone on to become a club legend, he has had a good time at the club. Not too many come through the system and do as well as he did. In a time where we spend like crazy, can't ask for too much more than the service he has given us.

He is injured? Again? Its becoming tedious at this point. He's made of cornflakes.

A lot know my stance and while I am the first person to call for a world class CB to be signed, Evans is a player I would like to stay. I fully understand if he moves away both from his and the clubs point of view but I still rate him.

Get rid!

Will never forget it...He was asked about George Best and Irish footballers in an interview...

His response?

"I can be a leader like George. That's why they look up to me!" ( I assume he was on about NI)

1. No one looks up to you!
2. You had amazing potential and shat on it
3. You spat on or "near" someone....Not having that...Manchester United carries itself with dignity and respect. That's not it

I have a feeling we may keep him. Lots more games to play next season.
Whats the point if he has another season like this one? Time to get rid! We already have a ready made Northern Irish replacement in McNair!

If you go by fanzines etc, LVG wants rid of him

There is an interview from last August, where Evans himself said he was struggling with LVG's tactics....

Evans has to go. We can talk about his potential 5 years ago but he pissed himself away with shit play and too many injuries.

I believe you. Its evident in the way he's performed. Ive never rated Evans but he's been diabolical this season save for his last two games before spitgate. Do you happen to have the source or remember the name of the fanzine?

I'd post a picture of it but, I'd have to go through numerous issues of Red Issue and UWS.

If you Google an interview with Evans, from August, it will come up....In it, he admits he's not sure of what LVG wants to do etc....

Where as, you Google an interview with Phil Jones, he's always going on about LVG's philosophy...It's a stark contrast.

There was one article, in a few fanzines that LVG copped on to Evans after the MK Dons match...

All I know

Evans. Jones only came in after Evans was suspended, Rojo hasn't played ahead of him either.
My friend you're delusional. I can't believe what im reading! Rojo was undroppable as soon as he got his work permit sorted out. It was always LVG's intention to play a left footed CB. Evans has been overlooked for many games. You're having a laugh

Evans has made Blackett look good this season.....Evans has been abysmal and I'll openly admit to saying he was going to be immense.....But that was when he had Vidic and Rio to guide him.....Now he's the senior defender and he shits himself everytime he's played.

He spreads panice around the back four anytime he plays.....Sooner he's gone, the better.

I agree. Needs to leave sharpish. I hear Arsenal and Everton are interested. He should consider himself lucky if he parachutes to any one of those teams. They'll see for themselves how unreliable he is though. O'Shea and Brown were better.

Difference is, O Shea and Brown done their duty and then some. Brown was never afraid to give out orders or try and boss the world's best strikers. He was determined as hell

O' Shea....Not talented but gave his all and was never found wanting. Our MOTD in the CL final. Never backed down from a challenge.

Evans......Shits himself at MK Dons, whilst being the senior defender at the club.

I said bye bye, bye bye....Bye bye Johnny...

@gooDevil Evans played against Sunderland (2-0 home win) because Rojo and Jones were injured. McNair was on the bench for that game. Jones passed a late fitness test for the next game (Newcastle United) so he was on the bench. Rojo was also injured for that.

I agree, he has had a poor season, although not as bad as some would have you believe. He is still a good player and before this season was easily the best CB of the lot we have. His biggest problem, like a few others, is his constant injuries.

That's just silly.

Wow, Rojo's been injured that much? I do recall LVGs obsession with left footed CBs on the left. I feel like I haven't seen Rojo play CB in months.

Evans was so bad in a back 3 I think people are overreacting a bit. It seems Rojo is a sick note, we know Jones and Smalling are too, we're going to need a lot of CBs, he fine for that kinda deep cover.
