Its gone too far this, I would have liked to see him at the club hes left footed and gets 5 - 10 goals from defence every season, thats invaluable really we might actually score some goals from corners.
However the player seems to have no bottle and is unwilling to do what is neccessary to make the deal happen. Moyes and Everton have an unrealistic valuation of the player. The simple fact of the matter is hes not worth anything like £30 million. Real world non city value to a top 4 side would be £18 - £20 million which is what we have offered. I could live with £22 million maybe £25 million if it had been done 2 weeks ago.
Upson or Hangerland are better than what we have really (Ben Haim), if we get get desperate mercenary judas Distin for a couple of seasons for £1 or 2 milion + Benjani would do at a pinch but not my personal choice.
Or we could show some bottle and buy quality from abroad Bruno Alves is available for the same sort of money and is a better player.
This has just turned into a complete waste of time ala Terry and Eto except they were true stars and world class players worth waiting for. Lescott is not. Dont want to see this goings past the weekend and overshadowing the start of the season its an uneccessary distraction.
