    Maybe they can’t afford him

    Unless they are already stocked in that area of the pitch? With the amount of money they are spending this season, I don't think it will be a question of funds. Looks like they have a fairly large squad at the minute.

    If it does turn out to be Evans, it will raise yet more questions about our recruitment. GA said before the end of last season we would be targeting players that can manage a full season, yet here we are, with one injury prone signing so far that hasn't yet joined in with training because he's already crocked, and potentially another player coming in who has managed nothing more than a handful of games over each of the past few seasons.

    Nope, probably just because the lad is shot to pieces. I don't think we will be touching him either and people have either misunderstood Bradford End's post, or he's looking for some attention after the last rumour. GA said we want players who can play a full season, Evans can't both his knees have gone since 2020 and he suffers reoccurrences every season. GA seems like a straight shooter to me, so I'll take him at face value when he says something.

    BE is a wind up merchant. I have no doubt he works at the club in some capacity but he’s not close to info not a chance.

    but what about his 600 days injured in 4 years? You ignored this very important fact and dont bring up Halliday again to suit your narrative!

    You will not win with Park he conveniently says it’s unusual for clubs to get long term injuries I can reel off one (even two) where key players have missed large chunks with injuries over last 4 years.

    How anyone can advocate brining in a player who is extremely injury prone is beyond me. It’s started already with Johnson missing first week with niggles … no shit the guys been plagued with injuries. Madness club never ever ever learns.

    I never said you did . I said you side stepped my rebuff to your statement that long term injuries are unusual.
    Park there not down at city 3 seasons & Evans would add to that list.
    Pato
    Osadebe
    Eisa
    Oliver large chunk
    Young large chunk
    Sam Stubs large chunk
    Walker large chunk
    Angol large chunk

    Just to throw a name out there after speaking to a number of friends one being linked to journalism in the burnley and nelson area.
    24 year old Irish centre half Luke McNally hardly featured for the dingles and spent a vast majority on loan

    Well we do like our Irish defenders. 3 already on our books. Cannot see it happening mind you, was a regular in the Championship last season with Stoke

    From a Stockport reserve to a first choice for Stoke defender? You're right, there's absolutely zero chance!

    Only 41 games for Stoke, and half a season at Coventry (22 games), but a burning ambition to play in L2 obvs.

    But you defended the right to sign him by saying 'well Halliday was injured'....
