But he's 27 and has a bad injury record, so I could see reason for City not wanting to pay more than say £18m. I gather that Lescott was a similar age when you signed him, but had played far more consistently. I rate Lescott highly, and think he and Agger (while different in style) are very comparable ability-wise, and would challenge each other for a starting berth.

Only thing I'd say is that Lescott had 4/5 years to go on his contract, Agger only has 2. So for me anything over £18m is too much as he is effectively going to be worth nothing in 2 years time.
