I can't believe what I have just read. United are offering Evra €85,000 to stay.

Are they for real?

How in gods name can people at the club not see what a liability he is?

The man is responsible directly or indirectly for a massive percentage of the goals we concede he hides from his duties of defending by galloping forward and not even trying to get back. He tucks in so close to the CBs that our left wing does his defending for him.

If he gets a new contract we may aswell forget about next season already!

If true I guess that rules out any LB coming in.
And it all starts again.
Not posted for a while, its good to be back.
Where's Kloot :-)

If Vidic and Rio weren't leaving I would've said let Evra go. But remember this we are going to need someone like Evra(leadership/characther) in the dressing room atleast. So yes everything in football is not just related to what happens on the field alone and this is Giggs last season as well, which makes it 4 massive characters and leaders leaving the united dressing room. I think giving Evra an extra year is a good thing for our youngster in the back four coming through and Moyes will sign an lb for next season. And yes evra is the last person I want starting at LB but please don't disrespect one of our best LB's we had in the PL era. He doesn't deserve it .

Even if he gets a new contract we will sign a new left back, I can only think that Moyes wants to sell Buttner and keep Evra as back up to mentor Shaw. That would be the only explanation.

Just because someone wrote it doesn't mean it's true, just like 99% of the things wrote about United. I really hope this one isn't true.

If Evra stays, then Evra plays.

We need to let him go or we will not improve. It's quite simple.

Can't see Shaw coming and Evra wouldn't make a good mentor anyway. I can imagine it, "don't bother running back Luke someone will cover you".

Early signs of a struggle to get players in

Dear God no! If Evra, Rio or Giggs are still part of our playing staff next season I will be joining the Moyes out brigade. All 3 are way way WAY past their best. Rio and Evra wouldn't be good to keep around the dressing room as they are too full of their own self importance for me, it would be a huge disruption to the new side we are trying to build. Let's cut them lose and they can go wherever they want.

{Ed025's Note - they can join the home guard.. :)

Good point about the old guard ed, Everton usually do take our castoffs anyway. :-)

Well a reporter in California has said all along that the Glazers are only interested in money and there won't be a lot of money to spend, also Moyes is going and Evra offered a new contract, he said that days ago

That reporter in California must be a proper Sherlock Holmes, imagine deciphering that business men with no interest in football are only in it for the money.
