Yes potential is one thing and fulfilling that is another, however he seems to have the temperament to be able to do this along with the natural ability.
I disagree in part with what you say and agree in some parts too. It would be very difficult to consistently finish in the top 4 without significant investment, however its not impossible to finish in the top 4 without (as we've shown) and certainly not impossible to finish in the top 6 season after season with the odd finish in the top 4.
You mention Arsenal. We finished 12 (or was it 9) points behind them last season. Your telling me that without losing Arteta for half the season, and Yakubu for almost all of it, we wouldn't have got those extra 12 points? I'd disagree massively! To finish only 12 point behind them without having a recognised striker for large parts shows just how close we are to them. You just dont want to see it as were not as fashionable as mega bucks City now.
Selling our best players isn't a good model for progession admitedly... however selling a very good player for stupid money and probably double his real value is good business... investing that money in to an equally good player, or one with potential to be better, and then using the spare cash to strenghten other areas is a good model. Make no mistake we're taking you to the cleaners over Lescott, we wouldn't sell unless the money benefitted us more then you.
Your presuming moyes wouldn't see more then half of the money? How the hell do you know this? Stick to the facts mate, you dont know this your just adding your own (incorrect) speculative comments as filler to your argument.
