12 is nearer the cash bid as I understand it; dunno about the makeweight - I am strongly compelled to believe that JL would now have to change his mind in order for this NOT to happen
I wasn't too keen on this deal when it was mentioned by Spursmad, but perhaps that's because I like dunnie. Met him in the top tier of the Old Kippax Stand at a supporters event, and he was a really nice guy. Always defended him, and he had a lot of critics when he first arrived, but has won most fans around. On reflection I hope we sign Lescott, but keep Dunne. I think he may want to move on.

Lescott is a good player, and for a defender he scores lots of goals. he's versatile, but I'm not sure that this improves a 1st 11 that much. Improves the squad.
£18 Million is a lot of money for a defender, but I've been thinking what better defenders are there out there? None in the Premiership that would be available. Centre-half is not a position you can gamble with. I know Arsenal have bought a Dutch centre-half, but the defending in the premiership is a lot more physical than it is on the continent. I wouldn't want to be bringing in a none-Premiership player to play in a key position like that.
Now we will have to see Everton's response. Moyes has previously indicated the player is not for sale, but if he wants to go, then that changes matters. They also have Jagielka & Yobo so it might make sense for Everton to sell, and strengthen the team elsewhere

It's straight cash - Lescott has now told Everton he wants to go.
