Thats a quality looking line up for Arsenal. hibbert = shit, fellaini midfiled player and not fully fit. That defence looks poor with no cover.
They may have Senderos by then
SSN are saying City want this done quickly and if not then the move for Upson is already partially underway.
Sounds like Everton must have our bid at the moment and the fact they haven't plastered REJECTED all over their website bodes reasonably well. Hopefully it's just the finer details (ie. a few more million) that need sorting before Bill can tell DM the bad news.

A good point that is often forgotten in the heat of the moment. That said said:The only thing to do then is not to look at Upson/Distin but to make a £20+ bid for Hangeland.[/b]
He is clearly superior to both Toure and Lescott defensively. Where Lescott scores is his ability to er.....score. I believe he outscored all other central defenders last season according to SSN. 12 came up on the screen: 7 was the next highest.

They could just keep it in house - unless they are trying to keep the transfer alive, and eke out the highest possible price whilst keeping Everton's fans onside. What do EFC gain by making news of Lecsott's transfer request public knowledge? They could have quite easily communicated this privately to the player and MCFC.
maybe they are just being open and honest, but if I were truly intent on keeping the player, I'd keep it quiet and in-house. There must come a point when EFC decide that the money they would receive makes the sale of Lescott attractive to EFC. If we can buy Upson, why can't EFC buy him, sell us Lescott, and buy some other players in the remaining period of the transfer window?
spot on there marvin

Good news we can move on otherwise and leave Moyes and Everton in the shit with an unhappy player that wants to leave and is hated by their own fans.

It seems that way. We currently have Moyes balls in a vice like grip....

they don't want to keep him, they just want to look good in front of their fans.
[/quote]All of this is typical of how Everton as a club is mis-management from head to toe. We all knew Kenwright wanted to sell, and was stalling for a higher fee. This has also provern that again Kenwright has FAILED as a chairman to provide what is best for the club, by being self-obsessed with Kirby and his own pockets rather than driving this club forward.
Just like Rooney and Speed, Lescott was 'offered' to Citeh once their interests were known of. The fact that Kenwright met some citeh representatives on the weekend allegedly once Citeh said they wanted to go elsewhere shows what a dis-honest man Billy is. It's fine calling Lescott a Judas, a turd, etc. But the fact remains Citeh are showing ambition, Everton are going backwards.
Don't get me wrong, Lescott is a greed little turd who was a risky cripple before Everton came along. He almost failed his medical, but for Moyes eagerness to sign him eventually pushed it through. He repays us by hissing off to the biggest pay cheque, I sincerely hope all the worst for him in his career! I have more respect for Rooney now as he turned down the bigger money at Newcastle to further his career at United, and after all the abuse is still a blue at heart. Lescott is the lowest of the low!
But I digress, because again this inevitable sale gets Kenwright and his mis-management of the club off the hook. He will give some pittance out of the fee to sign Senderos and some freebies, and some idiots will still see him as a hero! After all the lies, lack of interest to sell the club, doomed Kirby project and generally unpleasantness, some fans still can't hear the train before it hits them.
That is why we as a club will never go forward.
P.s. if Moyes has got the balls, he should insist at buying Hangerland as Fulham have set the price at 15 million.
