If the above tweet it true, it looks like Sakho could be a direct replacement for Evans.
Which could means Evans is on his way to Arsenal? Or Mangala has turned us down?
Sakho was an absolutely rock for Palace last year, and immense when they beat us at our place. Top notch defender and good on the ball. The worry with that fee is his mentality. We all know Pulis doesn't take players with a bad attitude.
Personally, if Evans stays, I still think we need another centre half as cover. We have 6 senior defenders in Dawson, Nyom, Hegazi, McAuley, Evans and Gibbs and I don't think that's enough. Especially with McAuley injured, Hegazi's injury record and the fact that Evans often misses a game here and there. Although we have the likes of Brunt and Krychowiak who can do a job, I'd feel a lot more comfortable with an additional centre half on the books.
The squad is coming together nicely, but my only worry is lack of depth. A few injuries in key positions and there's not much strength in depth.
