Are we trying to pull a fast one?

by RuiCostaJr - laconic, sardonic, sometimes moronic (U10462)

We've been linked with Jonny Evans, and now this story comes out:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42777794

Now I know we're famous lowballers (see also: £45m + £1 for Luis Suarez), and I can't help but feel that the board may have let the Evans interest die in the hopes of getting him on the cheap if / when the Baggies go down. Do you think we'd stoop to a tactic like this? Or am I being paranoid and unduly distrustful of the board and management?

The article speaks of not being able to follow through because of the cost of Aubameyang. Reports from Arsenal suggest that, if we get P-EA, we won't have significant funds to make purchases. Interest in Evans seemed to die weeks ago.

All these are reasons I would look to before that which you've suggested. It doesn't mean it's not a consideration. If so, is it such a bad thing? I mean City were willing to wait to get Alexis for free.

PS. £40million + £1...

£40m + £1...

My mistake!
