Can anyone out there understand the transfer values of players any more? Apparently Van Dyck is £60m, Deeney £32m, Walker is £50m yet Johnny Evans attracts bids of £10m from Leicester and now £18m from City.
This for a player who defended so well for us last year and helped get us to 8th for most of the season. This for a player who is our club captain and has played 198 times for Manchester United. This for a player who will almost certainly become their fist choice at City because Kompany is injury-prone, £40m Mangala is accident prone, and £50m Stone can't defend for toffee. If they offered a straight swap for Stones we would be conned and they paid £50m for him.
Are they taking us for mugs?
I would love to think that Evans would be able to see that Pulis and Albion have been good for him and his career and he is a better player than when he left United and stay. However with him living in the area and the prospect of Champions League it is bound to influence his decision.
Personally I don't want him to leave at all but if, as I suspect, he is to leave, can we dispense with the comedy bids and start the negotiations at £50m?
