I'd be surprised if the fee itself was the issue with any potential move as I think £1.5 million is more or less in the region of what we could command for Evans...I can't see any combination of possible circumstances under which Evans has a decent shot at first team football in 2009/10. Even if Sturridge, Vassell, Benjani, Jô and Caicedo all leave we'll still have Bozhinov, Bellamy plus whichever two or more forwards we do buy. Evans' work rate is great but he just doesn't quite have it to stay onboard. I don't imagine it will take much more of an offer from Sheffield United or any other Championship club to convince us to sell.
Perhaps Hughes is mindful that the Sturridge situation is still in limbo, and perhaps unwilling to let Evans leave quite yet with that being unresolved.

I too think Evans will leave and with all Blues fans best wishes. But just before the transfer window opened Mark Hughes stated that no players will be sold until he has all his targets in. Always remember, that unlike small selling clubs like Man U and Spurs, we don't have to sell before we can buy.
