Yes. A huge fucking stretch.
Now I know that my general dislike for Evra doesn't make me the most objective commentator, and he's not as terrible a transfer as I might make him out to be in other posts, but he's still pretty much past it.
I think he'll do an adequate enough job here, but just in the Premier League alone there's Baines, Felipe Luis, and you could argue Kolarov and Clichy being better.
