Evans would have been comfortably been part of Arsenal's best central defensive partnership.

Not saying you're lying here but there was a similar rumor going around not long after the incident with the tactics board that I posted earlier whilst he was at SAFC that I'm leaning towards it becoming a bit of a myth.

Heard the one about him and Clive Clarke when he was Sunderland gaffer too?

Evans or Shawcross. I was gutted we didn't go for Evans again when he moved to WBA for £6M. Especially when we spunked £8M on Djilibodji the dodgy and go and sign crocks like Lescott and unproven young'uns like Denayer. He was absolutely immense for us under Keane in 06/07 and 07/08. Can see...

Loved Keane as a player except when he was playing us, always seemed to be unbeatable on Wearside. Have to say that his time as boss up here was the best couple of years I've witnessed in over 50 years following Sunderland too. It'll never happen whilst Short is still part of the club but I'd...

Didi Hamann for MK Dons. Edgar Davids at Barnet Mark Schwarzer at Bradford

A mentality that suits my club down to the ground!

We've already got about 150 right backs on our books. :lol:

That's the £10M question. Is he tough enough not only physically but mentally too? Is he capable of handling 6 foot plus 12 stone centre halves trying to batter him, does he have the desire to keep improving and being the best that he can be or does he think that because he has had 2 £10M...

I thought he had the potential to be a very good PL player. When he was with us, he had all the attributes of being a big target man, 6 foot plus, good in the air, strong etc. He has a very good turn of pace too which never seems to be highlighted. He's technically very good on the ball...

Unbelievable really. Spent 4 years with us.

I liked Wickham when he played for us. He was badly managed by Bruce and O'Neill at the start of his time with us. Having paid £9M for us, we should have either A) Give him opportunities to play games for us and develop at a decent speed. B) Loan him out as soon as we signed him, let him...

I'm surprised Moyes didn't invite us to sign for us along with Hibbert. Would fit in well with Lescott, Oviedo, Gibson, Anichebe et al.

The lad is only 19 to be fair and has only played, 3 or 4 games at the top level. Plenty of time for him although the Nigerian FA seem to be sniffing around him very early on. Did Afobe not pledge his alleigence to Congo not so long back? Sure the FA got a bollocking for delaying the paperwork...

Senior appearances rather than youth level.. Jordan Ibe (£15M) Kopshites to Bournemouth Patrick Roberts (£12M) Fulham to City Connor Wickham (£10M) Sunderland to Crystal Palace James Tomkins (£10M) West Ham to Crystal Palace Dwight Gayle (£10M) Crystal Palace to Mags Nathan Redmond (£10M)...
