John Gregory not worried over losing Cedric Evina
Crawley Town manager John Gregory has put losing out on the signature of former Arsenal and youth midfielder Cedric Evina as ‘fate.’
He delayed signing the 22-year-old and ended up losing him to fellow League One club Doncaster.
Gregory revealed: “He went to Doncaster. They offered him a very good salary that we couldn’t match and we pulled out of that deal. I could have signed him on Tuesday and it would have been job done, but I left it the week. Maybe it was supposed to happen.
“I’m a great believer in fate and Doncaster came along and offered him considerably more than we were offering him. He is a young boy and I would have done exactly the same in his situation.”
