Lescott is probably next in line after Terry & Ferdinand, to be one of England's centre backs. He's done all his learning at Everton, and is looking more and more comfortable in the Premier League, and at international level. Everton won't sell Lescott without having a quality replacement, and if selling Ned is what it costs to get this deal done, then in my opinion, it's a price worth paying.

bluemooner_mcfc said:so i take it everyone thinks that ned is going because its in a newspaper ?
dont be silly lads there no way hughes would let ned go in any deal for lescott because were not a selling club anymore and we will just add the cash for lescott.
your forgetting that we are short of numbers in defence so why would hughes let a defender go ?
dont panic it wont happen.
