My mate's heard this has forced Lescott's hand, cue Moyes rant in the papers this morning. Lescott has been left out of the Everton squad for today's friendly with an 'injury' so what looked like a dead - duck, could now be back on.

We're also trying to close a deal with Fabian Delph from Leeds. Not sure what i think of either of them to be honest, The price for Lescott is going to be £20m which is way too much. Half hoping it doesn't happen, but we desperately need a left footed centre half. Would rather us go for Upson but for some reason we aren't.
Delph needs his head testing if he thinks joining City would be a good idea, might be lucky to play 10 games and that will be in the carling cup.

Hughes has a huge job keeping these players happy.
Lol we won't last that long in the Carling Cup.

Leeds are trying to sort a deal out so he stays there on loan but at the minute we're not keen oon that idea. As big as the squad is we are a little bit light in the centre of midfield - if we get a few injuries.

It's in the Daily Mail today about Lescott handing in a transfer request. Read it and weep Lefty!
Delph is going to Villa, good choice if you ask me.
