IMO, if Evans goes, we need to sign 2 centre backs as we're already short of 1.
Given how long it takes us to get a deal done, this is the massive worry for me.
Don't get me wrong, in principal, if the money for Evans gave us the cash to sign Wimmer, Ranocchia and the box to box midfielder that we're desperate for, it could work out better for us. But will this happen? It appears clear that the owners want to run the club on a shoe string with a paper thin squad.
If Dawson would've been suspended for his stamp last week, Hegazi would've been the only fit centre half for Burnley. I find it baffling how the powers that be find it acceptable to even be discussing selling a centre half when we only had 2 fit last week, one of which has spent the last 2 years playing at right back...
