Not everybody's favourite side
So to update we will could be facing in mid-August; and remember they also pinched our former loanee Josh Simpson last season as well, where he's made 1 sub appearance in the Blue Square.
Teenage midfielder Hope Akpan has joined the money train following his release by Everton. Akpan, 19, came off the bench in the Europa League against FC BATE in 2009. He spent time on loan at Hull City in last season, making a couple of appearances for the Championship team.
On that one Evans said: "He had many offers from Football League clubs to consider but I have kept in regular touch with him. I watched him play several times last season for Everton reserves, indeed I tried to get him on loan at that time, but David Moyes said no to me and a few other interested managers.
Another where they just swept other clubs aside was in-demand Cheltenham Town striker Wes Thomas, again on a free transfer but we are talking wages here.
The 24-year-old was the Robins top scorer during 2010/11 with 19 goals and they obviously wanted him to stay and extend the one-year contract he signed last summer when signing from Dagenham & Redbridge.
Evans, short but sweet here:"Young Wes is a natural goalscorer and is a great signing."
I'm sure he is Steve, but Cheltenham chairman Paul Baker puts into words what many club supremos are fearing.
Baker told BBC Gloucestershire: "I've heard the package he's on and he wouldn't get that at a lot of clubs in League One, it's staggering. It shows the money someone is putting in at Crawley to sustain the wage bill. They're not doing it on gates. There's no way we could have kept Wes but we've learned our lessons. We should have had an option on his deal."
But let's end on another; Midfielder Scott Davies, 23, from Championship Reading.
Evans again:"Scott is a confidence player and loves to score a goal, which is great for a midfielder. I know he had a few options to further his career but he knows a few of the lads here and that helped. He is a dead ball specialist and we hope to take advantage of that."
Fat Fry, who must be worried as Posh seem to be Crawley's nusery side, has accepted offers for Chris Whelpdale and Charlie Lee, but he's more confident these two will not end up at the Broadfield Stadium after finishing loan spells at Gillingham.
Will the money eventually run out?
