everton have been told £18m is our final bid.

Thats a piss take. That and Dunney back at least.

I have to say I don't think it is. £18m for Lescott is a very fair price indeed as, quite frankly, he isn't worth that much. Just because Moyes keeps rejecting City's bids doesn't mean we haven't got our valuation right, it means Moyes has got his valuation wrong. Maybe, in the end, we will have to pay more than £18m, but if we do then we're paying above Lescott's value.

Must be looking good for us. Remember when BBC reported Lescott had asked to leave then Everton commented and denied it which was good news for them.

Now they won't comment, it must be bad news for them.

£18m is far too much for him. He's not better than Toure. Lescott is worth no more than about £10m IMO. We're just getting rinsed because we're a rich club

I disagree, Glenn Johnson set the bar this summer when it came to England defenders and that was 18m, yes Lescott is not in the starting lineup for England, but he plays a role which is hard to find AND he can cover LB, so to me 18m seems about right.

I get the impression it wouldnt be a piss take had Bolton offered it.

Johnson was overpriced as well. He can't defend and looks out of his depth for England. Was great for Portsmouth but he's yet to prove himself as one of the best, which you should expect for that sort of money.
