Seen it reported second hand that he's not interested but can't really see if there's any substance to that
Yes please! He wouldn't come cheap I would have thought considering he is a French international fullback and was probably the best LB in Ligue 1 over the course of the season. 11 yellow cards over the season means he probably gets stuck in a bit too so hopefully he can defend instead of just being an attacking fullback.Only 5'9" though, and I prefer my back line to be a little more statuesque... especially since Okore is only 6'. I had a feeling we would go for a French left back but figured it would be Layvin Kazawa from AS Monaco, so this is probably even better.
What about Evra?
It's quite possible that he has a very high opinion of himself and is targeting a Champions League club. It's early in the summer though so if he were to realise that those clubs aren't coming in for him and he speaks to Sherwood and learns more about the club, he might well see it as a good opportunity (though likely see us as a stepping stone).

Benteke said when he signed he saw us as a stepping stone. It's not great to hear but the reality is with the exception of Real Madrid and Barcelona, every club is a stepping stone.
Looks great on You tube montage but really - some of the football and individual crapness of that league leaves a lot to be desired
