Ireland is confusing.
Evans' Britishness in a Zaha thread is even more confusing.

Yes, he'll qualify as British. As I do.
Northern Irish.
And you're spoiling this brilliant Zaha thread with Irishness. Start a new thread in the Northern Ireland forum. Or something.
Northern Ireland is not part of Great Britain. You may like it or not, but those are the facts. And Zaha looks a bit tasty.
I didn't bring this into the thread, I replied to a post.
He's British. As am I.
fecking really lads.
Stop the shite in a Zaha thread about Evans national identity or lack there of.
This place does my head in sometimes.

I know it isn't, it's part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. My passport is the same as that owned by someone from England, Scotland or Wales, and on official documents I'm classified as British, whether you like that or not. I'd bet Jonny Evans is the same.
I responded to some smartarse trying to make some kind of point. As usual.
I'm fecking sick of it too.
Zaha? Indeed. And I don't care whether you see yourself as a cabbage and all, it's got nothing do with this thread.
What the feck are you telling me for? I didn't bring it to the thread, so do one.
When will he join up with the United squad? It's obvious England are going to win the U21s, so he'll have to have some time off in between.
Jonny Evans is a Brit, he's not shit, he's a hit
Jonny Evans is a Brit, feck Louis Zaha.

You've spoilt this thread haven't you?
Well?
And you're using expletives and all. That's disgusting.
I like it, it's catchy.
Can someone delete The Noviller's posts in this thread?
Ta in advance.
Ta in advance.
Meh, Zaha looks good eh?
Tasty.
Call him British, call him Azerbejainian, call him what you want. But Jonny Evans wasn't born in Great Britain. Facht!
Can we lock the thread?
On a day when we should be celebrating his performance and be welcoming him to the club people will be looking here for reaction and see this shite.
Embarrassing TBH.

What the feck does it matter anyway? We're all the same. It's all just man made borders, it's all bullshit. And Zaha looks a good player.
To get the thread back on track a little... Imagine we sign no more wide men (or anyone who would force anyone else out onto the wing), and we keep our current wingers. Who do you start on the wings in our first game of the season?
Signs of Valencia regaining form in the last month or so of the season. Nani generally better than him this season but fell well out of favour and was unreliable in terms of form and attitude. Zaha flying, but coming into a new club and a much higher quality league.
I'd be tempted to start Valencia and Nani, on the presumption that by the start of the season they'll both be back in form. But as soon as either was not playing well, I'd drop him for Zaha. Even if that meant playing him in the second game of the season.

If it doesn't matter, why the feck are you going on about it?
This all started because someone mentioned Evans in a list of young British talent, which another twat couldn't allow to go past without trying to act the smartarse about.
Everything will depend of form showed in pre season probably, and injuries of course.
No-one. I'd go central and rely on our FB's for width.
But for the sake of argument, assuming you only have their form this season gone to go on...
Sell all the wingers, including the one we've just signed!
Two of Nani, Valencia and Young (depending on pre-season), then bring Zaha off the bench in a Ronaldo vs Bolton manner.
Probably end up being Welbeck and Fellaini.

Judging by this thread he'll be greeted with fireworks, a guard of honour and the unveiling of the Wilfried Zaha Stand when he returns to Selhurst Park with United: http://www.cpfc.org/forums/showthread.php?t=243685
Oh yeah, shit, Young. I'd forgotten he existed. A bit like when you wake up thinking it's Saturday and find out it's actually Sunday. Not the worst blow in the world - it could be Monday/Bebe, after all - but everything seems just a little bit darker because of it...
Stupid post even from the normally contrary TN.
He said which wingers would I play the first game of the season. I have given and backed up my view as to why I would play with no-wingers.
Thankfully for us all my opinion counts for nothing.
I need more booze! The shenanigans over the past two pages have made me hypersensitive to the opinions of fellow nordies!
A bit harsh IMO. I agree that for the fee we forked out for him was too high given his age and ability, but if he somehow managed to stay fit for a season, I think that he'd prove to be a very good squad player for us.
Saw today's game, which was my first 90-minute watch of him. Not sure how I feel. On the one hand he's an unpredictable dribbler, often inventive with the sudden shift in direction he takes. At other times though, he actually reminded me of Bebe - pacy, leggy and crosses soaring past their targets. Either way, he's raw, that's for sure.
When will he join the squad?
Watch it again with your glasses on.

We're only fellow Nordies when the ROI aren't playing anyway.
Go on, bite. I'm only joking though, so calm down hahalolzy
Pfft, I've even abandoned them now.
I'm going to set up a football team similar to the 'no fixed abode' Olympians.

With the rest of the squad at the start of pre-season I expect.
