Talk that Evra could move to Juventus.

Mitch Connor · 02-07-2014 07:05AM

Would be surprising if Evra left, would mean we have to add another left back to the transfer wishlist.

It could make sense if LVG decides to bring in Blind, who can play CB, LB and CM.

Still, I would be surprised.

I havent seen a lot of France, how has Evra been playing?

Deiseboy01 · 02-07-2014 07:16AM

Llana was heavily linked to Utd at one point, happy to miss out and see him sign for liverpool?

It is an Sky Sports Italia reporter who is saying this, but he also says United don't want to sell, but it will be upto LVG.

He's a number 10 isnt he? We have 3 as it is so made no sense to sign him, plus it looks like LVG will go with 3 in the middle with Mata Rooney and RVP upfront.

Give em Evra and Nani and we will take Vidal

yermandan · 02-07-2014 08:12AM

Fellaini is our Carroll

25mill for Lalana is a ridiculous fee. I know Nuri posted and said it's rumoured to be something like 20m rising to 25, but even then, no thank you.

Lalana was the main man at Southampton, which he wouldn't have been at United, so I don't think he would've worked out. Curious to see how he'll play at Liverpool too.

MrBobbyZ · 02-07-2014 08:13AM

Saw Mark Ogden (Telegraph) wrote yesterday that United have been briefing as many as 6/7 new faces are being targeted, with a bid for Vidal as likely to happen.
Also believes any number of 10 players could leave (Ferdinand and Vidic included in that number) depending on how successful the recruiting goes.

@Sport_Witness

Reports that Juve have agreed a deal with Patrice Evra on personal terms. TMW and others. All a bit odd.

Doesn't make sense unless we're going after a Juve player (IMO)

Move for Daley Blind makes sense then as he would offer cover at LB and CDM. Shaw as our only LB would be disastrous.

DM_7 · 02-07-2014 08:33AM

Evra renewed his own contract by taking up the one year option?

Maybe he wasn't sure what he wanted and gave himself more time to decide so took the contract before the option didnt exist anymore. Now if someone like Juve want him on a longer deal while United would be looking to move him on next summer or lower wages it makes sese for him to consider leaving.

The club exercised the extension option in Evra's deal.

Oh right, I thought it was the other way around as he had to play a certain number of games for the extension to be available or something but fair enough.

Alfred Borden · 02-07-2014 08:46AM

Vermaelen would probably be cover for lb?

Vertonghen and Blind would be much better options as LB cover, in my opinion.

I also think that Michael Keane can play LB if needed, although he's a CB primarily.

Hococop · 02-07-2014 08:48AM

If evra does go the juve how much do you think we would get, my guesstimate would be around 4-5 million

adox · 02-07-2014 08:49AM

Id be happy with Evra leaving if Blind is coming in.

A great servant to the club and a great character but hes been poison on the pitch the last three seasons.

Don't think so. Maybe more like 1.5/2m. Then again, Woody got a very good price for Buttman.

TheDoc · 02-07-2014 08:55AM

It's been like ages since we made a signing

Mitch Connor · 02-07-2014 08:56AM

I'd prefer Evra to stay for the year than bring in blind right now.

We already have one young full back to blend to the squad and train up. Adding a second wouldn't be a good move right now imo, and I think Evra's experience would be a help to Shaw, while Blind wouldn't offer that.

Also, having lost Giggs, Rio and Vidic as leaders on the pitch, I think keeping Evra for the season is a good idea because he is also considered to be one of the big leaders in the dressing room, we have very few of them.

+1

Evra has already signed a new deal anyway. Should be staying

MagicIRL · 02-07-2014 09:01AM

Evra's Leadership < Vidal's CM ability.

yes he played 134 games in the last 3 seasons and every single game he has been poison. Cant believe the manager didn't see that and drop him :rolleyes:

May be the very reason that Van Gaal wants to move him on. The last(and possibly biggest) of the big personalities from the old guard.

The squad looks like its possibly going to get a huge overhaul in one/two windows so I can see more than enough reasons to ship Evra out.

Now now no need to be so sarcastic. I do agree that he hasnt been poison but he has been on the decline.

Would Evra be negotiating during the World Cup?
