His worse period strike-rate wise was in the Man City first team. Hughes prefered him to Sturridge. He played really well for a youngster and didn't look out of place, laying on several assists.
He was fantastic at Norwich, I'm sure he ripped us to bits, but hasn't really scaled those heights since. I was amazed how poor he's looked at Sheff U, but then so has pretty much everyone else they signed that I rated. You can't underestimate the impact of being managed by Blackwell, Speed(not hoofball but clueless in general) and then Adams. The poor lad must have neck-ache.
Remember what Lukas said about just because he's tall, managers keep using him as a target for high balls-but his game is the ball into feet? Regis-Don Mackay-Sillett scenario?!? Evans is 6ft and from what I know about his strengths, he would undoubtedly flourish under a Thorn-type style, as has Lukas. We would be so darn lucky to get a player of his potential given our current situation. I'd wager his rep in the game is a fair bit higher than Lukas, too. I'll be doing somersaults if we get him!
