Just not Phil Jagielka otherwise I will commit suicide. I fukking love that man
Personally i feel Lescott would be good for us with him being a left sided centre half. He can cover Bridge if he gets injured or if he carries on playing like a Sunday League footballer.

The only thing i worry about is this: Our style of play leaves us vulnerable to conceding because we try to be so attacking. The problem is teams like Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea can all play like that because their opponents go into games with a mentality that a draw would be a great result so as such they do not commit themselves for fear of bein completely battered. So them 3 teams can play like that and get away with not shipping a fair few goals at the back.

Teams don't yet have that fear when playing us so we are often involved in exciting games that produce a lot of goals at both ends. Maybe with the signing on Tevez, Eto'o etc we will have.

Anyway getting to my original point, Everton seem such an organised team who play a disciplined system so players like Jagielka and Lescott look very solid....

My worry is that players like that will perform a bit like Dunne and Richards have this season because teams don't show us the same respect they do to the top teams. Maybe if we weren't so attack minded it would be different and players like Dunne and Richards would possibly be as solid as they were 2 years ago.

Anyway time will tell. Think the price will be between £15m-£18m...probably £15m rising to £18m if all goes well.
