Even with a fully fit squad, Johnny Evans would walk into our first team. 2nd only to Kos. Better that Mert, better than Gab and I would honestly say I would rather see him at LB than Gibbs.

Has captained his country at international level, was a beast at the Euro's. Northern Ireland went as far as England and probably should have put Wales out. Success in France was largely to do with some real lion hearted defending which he was a big part of.

We've been linked before an apparently Fergie didn't want to sell him to us. Look at the comments Pulis made about him recently. Positively glowing. Say what you want about Tony Pulis but he knows defenders, you just have to watch his teams.

At todays market prices, 16m is a snip for such experience and versatility. Played his whole career in English football, won't need to adapt.

I'd be delighted if we signed him. If his name was Jorge Evinho we wouldn't even be having this debate.

LETS SIGN THE EVERTON FLOP FOR 30M YAY! He's the right nationality with a more continental sounding name.

Some of you showing real uneducated snobbery. Makes me question if you even watch football or just play FIFA.

Sylvestre PFFFFFT.

{Ed025's Note - your emerald eyes are clouding your judgement im afraid ulster, united ditched evans because he was a liabilty and did you see the state of that defence over the last 2 years?...hes garbage mate believe me..

Welsh gooner has always raved about William for years and Dags is an Elneny fanatic, birds of a feather?

No mate not clouded. I just follow My countrymen closely. At UTD he was behind Rio and Vidic for a large part. I strongly believe that he could do a far better job than he's getting credit for.

If I had to pick between Him or Hummels or Kompany obviously I'd pick one of the later. But we all know that's not going to happen. At international level he has to do a backs to the wall job for nearly 90 minutes of every game and he does it well.

I believe that's what we need. A no nonsense defender leader and organiser and in todays market, he's as good as 16m will get you.

Its all about opinion mate, for me Williams is far better and cheaper too.

I think there will be a broad sense of relief if we get these two signings on the books. Good bad or ugly we will have options which is surely better than nothing.

My two bob:

Never seen Perez play in a live match like a lot of people have confessed to. Watching clips of his goals last season though he seems like a proficient finisher which we are definitely lacking. It seemed to me like a lot of his highlight reel was based on the counter attack. One on Ones looked good and inter play moving forward. Fingers crossed this squads made for him to thrive. If nothing else it takes pressure of Theo who seems to struggle under the strain and puts pressure on Giroud who seems to thrive when his spots threatened.

Mustafi imo is the risk. That's a high and totally unjustified fee. He will be under the spotlight to perform well from the get go. How long will it take the media to get on his back after a few below par performances? They seem to take a special pleasure in hounding us. Looked good in la liga? So did Gabriel.

In saying that his experience with the german national team will be of benefit and I'm pretty sure he's played right across their backline so versatility is a bonus.

So it's wait and see. I don't like our transfer policy but while Arsene's in charge let's be behind him, the team and hope by the end of the season he can give the metaphorical fingers to those that over spent on mediocrity.
