unbelievable he's not worth that much.
How can you offer rediculous amounts of money for recent players , and hum and har about your most important acquisition of the season should it come off ?
Most important acquisition?
Lescott is just above average. We won't be distraught without him, we have plenty of other players that can cover. Barry will probably be the most important acquisition, unless we get Eto'o, and even then ...

Haha come on mate, banter needs to have an element or turth or believability about it!
Lol .
Seriously though , your priority is your defence .
You can buy as many star strikers as you want , but if you don't fix your defence , you'll get steam rollered by the top sides while your strikers pick there noses up field .
Noone in their right mind thinks Kaka , Ronaldo Eto'o and co are worth that kind of money , so what I'm saying , hypothetically , is that if Lescott will fix your defensive issues , why don't you just give Everton an enormous figure , and get him .
He is still for me the most important transfer you will make this season should it happen .

Just because we paid £19m for Jo doesn't mean he's worth that amount. If we were to sell him to a Premier League rival how much would they pay? £19m? £12m? £10m? I would personally say for a goals to games ratio that he was playing at for Everton last season means he is valued at £6m. AND everton want him
Blumers Bloomers said:DSOB, you said earlier in the thread that Phil Jagielka was "the best defender in the world" so with respect, excuse me if I dont take your opinion too seriously

Braggster said:DSOB - don't agree that Lescott (or another CB) would be our most important acquisition. That is RSC, he may not be the best player we buy, but the one player we were crying out for was a decent centre forward who could hold the ball up, score from set pieces and crosses, and allow the defence to step up 5-10 yards further up the pitch.
If fit (big if, obviously, lol) RSC will make the biggest impact on the team - both at the back and up front.

Have you looked at how many goals you conceded last season ?
stony said:Blue Phil said:Ok, lets look at spurs mad's 'predictions'
RSC. check, could have been guessed but mark hughes said several times we may look at other targets instead so it wasn't dead cert.
Stuart Taylor. check, completely unknown to me, i couldnt have guessed we would get him in a million years, as soon as spurs mad told us, a day later the papers started reporting it.
Barry. check.
Tevez, told us we would get him on the 1st. Recently papers have been saying we will get him on the 1st, also chelsea have dropped out since but when he told us they were very much still in the mix.
TBH, i wouldnt argue that he isn't itk, he clearly has a good source.
He got Colruka right too, before anyone else had a clue. He posted it on COYS and someone from there posted in on here.

I say a lot of that was when we were struggling to get the balance right in our side... we tightened up as Hughes' work ethic and plans were distilled into the team.

It's that simple really. I'd rather we got the big German, and I say that as someone who firmly believes it's important we have an English core to our side.

yes, and have you read what I wrote? I was talking about the defence. It's not just the back 4, you know.

Yes, it really is that simple as we know how this German lad will adapt to the Prem. Thanks.
