How short term is short term? Just the friendlies?
I’m hoping that we keep him as depth and let Maguire go to new pastures. I feel Evan’s is still solid as a backup, at least better than Maguire.
We should be signing a young player who grows into the role. I don't think signing Evans in place of Maguire is a good idea.
well depends on the finances, he is free and he should count as a homegrown player right?
Maguire is basically 5th choice behind Licha(Shaw) and Varane(Lindelof) so having a cheap player as 5th choice who also counts as homegrown is a pretty good deal for the short term.
I read your comment way too early in the morning and was wondering when we nicknamed Shaw as Licha.
This was my take on Evan’s coming in. He’s experienced, he knows our clubs culture and plays for the badge. He’s a stop gap until we identify the young player we want. It’s not a perfect solution but one I’m happy with.
