CONFIRMED Lee Evans to Wigan on loan to perm

[Booker4]

Not surprised with his supposed tweets after Boro, could have been a wind up merchant impersonating him but his profile looked fairly convincing.

Can't see anything on here and this is his official page.

He's shit apparently. So Wilder does read the forum.

Oh you just wait. We'll have let a huge integral player go for a fraction of what a Premier League club would have paid by 9pm.

What tweets were these?

EDIT: I remember them actually, they weren't from his official profile

Quality player imo just needs to find his feet .

Anyone know the fee surely gotta be at least 1/2 million ?

 

[Bladezz]

Been saying this for months. Thank the Lord!

 

[Eric Cartman]

He's a mile better than Lundstram but I assume we couldn't find anyone to take him, understandable

 

[Barney]

This would be a good bit of business, but only if it's to free up a place for a much better replacement.

Which shouldn't be too difficult.

 

[Superbillywhitehurst]

Skysports reporting Josh Windass going to Wigan aswell

 

[Eric Cartman]

This is making no sense

 

[LJBlade]

I guess its just that they've shown an interest and we are open to him going. Wigan had him last season on loan didn't they and they really liked him. He's got potential but I prefer Lundstram but I might be on my own there. Lundstram was crap v Boro but did ok v Swansea - in my view.

I also prefer Lundstram, who I feel has more potential and isn't as one footed.

yeah but knowing the Blades............................

 

[DazBlade88]

He's always been better than Lunny, I don't mind Evans it's the partnership I can't stand and I think it's the same with most.

I don't think he's better than Lundstram personally. Evans plays too many safe passes, Lundstram tries to make things happen but it doesn't work often enough.

Nothing between them for me but the partnership definitely doesn't work.

 

[TJB.]

Odd one. Perhaps he can see his starting place slipping away once Coutts returns and he wants something more concrete?

Squad could be looking rather thin if/when we pick up injuries. Did recall clauses for loanees get scrapped or was that my imagination?

If we were looking for two loans before this, we should now be looking for three. Unless we can get someone in in the next 45 minutes (I'll not hold me breath).

 

[HydeParkBlade]

Nixon just tweeted that there was a prem club in for him. WTF?

 

[LondonBlade89]

If we're making decent money on this, I'll understand it. But only to a point. We'll be short in central midfield and have no idea how well Coutts will be once he's back. Very risky game.

Unless we have a replacement in mind, in which case let's see...

FWIW I liked Lee. Thought he was a tidy player. Lacked pace but good on the ball and cracking right foot.

 

[TomTheBlade1889]

Devante Cole coming the other way?? would make sense as Wilder rates him as he tried to sign him but missed out last summer, plus with Coutts back next month so we already have a replacement for Evans. And we obviously need another striker in....

 

[1993]

Must be a decent fee involved. Didn't we pay 750k for him? So would expect £1m+. Surely must mean someone coming in, even if it is a loan.

 

[CoatesyBlade]

Sky source says Wigan are in for Windass too!
WTactualF are we doing?? Wilder must rate Evans or else he’d of started Leonard in the first two games surely?
Getting a wee bit worried now I can’t lie!

 

[NotFallowfieldBlade]

How on earth is this a good move , yeah he hasn’t started the season fantastic but we’ve played two games and nobody has . He has looked quality at times last season middlesborough at home ?
Makes zero sense to sell him unless we’ve got a daft bid of 2/3/4 million.

 

[South Bucks]

Probably just a wind up then but someone going to a lot of trouble to look like him.

 

[thehet]

Best bit of news this window. Not a patch on Couttsy.

 

[Booker4]

This is making no sense

Coutts coming back will have played a major part in this decison. That and the fact we've still got Lundstram and Leonard, something had to give. but I thought someone would go in January and we'd see how it went until then.

 

[Houso]

Probably just a wind up then but someone going to a lot of trouble to look like him.

Not that much effort. Every tweet before is clearly written by one of our 'fans'.

Wat a day down to bare bones now need a lift al open sum red dear o dear

This would be an abysmal piece of business. Surely we could just buy Devante for peanuts

 

[HydeParkBlade]

It's a huge risk to assume that Coutts will quickly return to his pre-injury form, if he does at all.

We won’t have for a daft bid for him. We’ll be lucky if we’ve recouped our money back.

Strange as imo he’s better than lundstram imo and we don’t know how good leboaeds gonna be.

Wilder January business gets worse and worse with Holmes going too:

 

[TJB.]

CARL SHEEBA IS ON THE PHONE SUMMET CUD STILL APPEN

 

[Bladesince59]

There's no point getting rid of him if we aren't replacing him with someone better.

Why not? its what we usually do.

 

[HolmesfieldBlade]

Evans will move to Wigan, be a world beater and we'll finish below Wigan...
