The £30m figure has been thrown around a lot. I've seen the actual price quoted as low as £23.5m rising to £28m with add-ons. The BBC reported it as £26m plus £4.3m in extras. Which may not be met, judging by the, er, judgement of him, thus far...

It's correct, he helped defensively though with his 0 tackles.

"If I have to make a tackle then I have already made a mistake." - Paolo Maldini.

As long as he's getting back to do his defensive work, covering the space, tracking runnuers and forcing the opposition backwards or sideways, I'm not too worried about him not diving into tackles.  If he's AWOL entirely, that's an entirely different matter!
Smithy you are one of the most considered posters on here, but in whatever context having Maldini and Big Evan in the same paragraph is a bit wrong…i am laughing btw

Good point, Evann's not as handsome as Paolo was (SE may disagree).

I really hope he kicks on, because he tries hard, but at the moment the best you can say is he’s a useful defensive player.

Could we turn him into a right back? He does seem to track back and tackle quite well.

He sure as hell ain’t never making a top level winger.

Cuellar was a bigger attacking threat out wide.

to be honest I find him and sancho equally frustrating. 

Evan has the physical attributes - but it whether he can be coached to not be shit.

Sancho - just looks a little lost - think its confidence

It isn't looking good now unfortunately. If we are going two play with two relatively defensive midfielders then we can't afford for one of our front four to be completely void of goals and assists. He does try but he looks utterly blunt as an attacking force.

A complete dud. Sometimes it happens. Loan back to France in Jan if we can rustle up something else.

He's way too big and ungainly to be an effective wide man. I'd still like to see him up front for a bit.

But I'm definitely getting Rudy Gestede vibes.

I’d say more Jordan Bowery. And that’s being generous.

Perhaps he’ll come good, it’s still relatively early days but it’s hard to judge our summer business as anything but woeful based on what we’ve seen so far (Bizot the exception).

From the clips I saw when we signed him, he played more central in France, drifting wide when needed.
It’s baffling that Unai keeps starting him wide right, other than tracking back, which he does okay to be fair, he offers next to fuck all as an attacking threat for the team.
