In regards to inflating the market I think that happened many years ago when Abramovic came to town.....I do think that city are following in their footsteps.....but rightly so...you have the money so spend it!
In regards to your signings I do think that you have paid about the right price for the players you have signed.But the diffrence between Lescott and the rest is that he is actually wanted by his club.....santa cruz,adebayor,toure and barry where all surplus to requirements....Tevez never had a club......Lescott is an integral part to our team and progress, so you can't expect to sign him for his true worth...its got to be something that benefits everton.....We could not replace Lescott with 15m thats just a fact....
In regards to Jo, we may actually be doing you a favour because if he has a good season with us....its puts him back in the shop window.....
Maybe a few years back a bid of 18m would have been accepted but everton have moved on from then and have a concrete footing in place with a couple of additions our current squad is good enough to compete at the very top of the league....
I have no problem with any city fans and I've watched your progress over the summer with a close eye and I wish you well for the new season....you may get a troiphy this year or a final...so its looking good for you.
Okay, an honest question. You have no money to spend. Well, very very little, maybe 5 million at a push. As an Everton fan, surely you'd rather take twenty odd million from City and pump it back into your squad to improve it, than keep one player. I mean, Lescott is a very very good young player, but surely it would make more sense to strengthen significantly to try and keep up with the likes of Spurs, Villa, and us, than, for the sake of principle keep hold of one player...
