ColeCiderRed Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Sheffield United look set to re-sign him. Any views on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonM88 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Wasn't he deemed not guilty recently. Therefore innocent, and should be able to go about his life as a footballer exactly the same as any othe rfoootballer would, and that tends to involve moving clubs, quite a lt at that.

ColeCiderRed Posted April 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 It wasn't meant to go over his not guilty verdict or to question whether he should move. Just wondered if he would be good enough for championship football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dullmoan Tone Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 He hasn't set the world alight at Chesterfield especially given the standard of the league. I think Sheffield will find the step up much more significant since they were last in the Championship - with or without Evans. But they certainly need more than Billy Sharp to stay up.

sodburyred Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Obviously don't know all the details but sums up loyalty in modern football. He owes his current club a great deal of gratitude for believing in him during his case when no one else would. Personally don't think he'll do much at Championship level. He wasn't anything special at this level at his peak let alone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Very odd signing. Only 7 goals in league one this season and after everything I see no need to cause more controversy for the club. £500k apparently, massively over the top on all scales.

Did not read the potential fee. That's quite a lot I would have to agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS15_RED Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Is £500k a lot in the Championship these days? I wouldn't say it was. I do agree that this is a strange move by the Blades, but hardly a massive gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Found not guilty of the rape charge, but his actions that night were still pretty abhorrent. I would find it very hard to support him if he were to join City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of your fans on here said exactly the same about us last summer, our fans knew we'd do well this season due to the squad we had and our head coach, but your lot wouldn't have any of it, the truth is football is played on the pitch and until Shitfield United have played ten games or so, at this level I think it's pointless trying to predict how they'll get on .

Chesterfield are the worst side in the division to be fair. It still seems an odd signing if you take all the politics out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 He should be allowed to get on with his life - doesn't stop me from thinking he's a scum bag. As to the football: Hard to say how well he's doing? Could be a case that he's getting back into the game after his break and he might develop as he's challenged etc. I suspect that it's a case of 'Watch this space'.

Spoons Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Can't believe Sheffield utd are going to spend another £500,000 on ched Evans after already spending £3million on him years ago buying him from man city !! Also he's had a below par season with Chesterfield , I know chesterfield aren't the best team but tammy proves you can score goals in a crap team!!

That is all true. What is also true is Wigan pissed that league last year and Will Grigg scored 25, this season they are going back down and he has scored 5.

TwoSheds Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 He has been found NOT Guilty so no problems him playing on. If a girl goes back to a Hotel with two guys and pizza and wine what did she think was going to happen. I don't think they were going to play snakes and ladders or Monopoly, sounds like a good time girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he/she goes to war and dies what did he/she expect would happen?or a boxer gets in a ring and dies what did they expect? Not really sure that's the brightest thing to say in all fairness two sheds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She went back to the hotel with Clayton McDonald and the jury used the same logic to find him not guilty. Ched Evans arrived later, after receiving a txt from McDonald, and left by a window to avoid being seen! The first jury decided the woman was too drunk to agree by the time Evans arrived, but on appeal this was overturned. He's definitely been found not guilty, but still not the sort of player a club could involve in any community activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Ignoring opinions on his court case or footballing ability, seems strange that SU would want to attract so much media attention and shift focus during games to the abuse that will fly out of the stands.

Are you suggesting that agreeing to eat pizza is the same as consenting to sex? FFS, haven't we moved on further than this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
