Great news. I really thought Jo brought something to the team when he joined up last year. He's strong, pretty quick, but most of all he's a very clever player. He seemed to link up very well with our other enormously-barnetted gangler too.

Good signing. Hopefully it's not part of a deal that sees Lescott going the other way.

Depends on what the deal might be. If it is worth £20m, I'd take it to be honest.

Has the JO's deal been confirm yet?

If Jagielka was nice and fit then the Lescott's deal could still be possible to happen.

You got to know how hard it is to find a top center back and there is no way we would want to lose any of themm, espically when Yobo is going away in January for couple of weeks.

Yes, £20m for Lescott would be very good value.

It looks like a runner. I would think with a pre season behind him, he would link up well with the Yak. As someone else said, he's very clever, looking to bring players into attack.

If he stayed at City he would be 3rd or 4th in the pecking order and more importantly, he's not a gamble, but someone who can only improve.

Liverpool Echo.co.uk - Everton FC - News - Everton FC on brink of season long loan for Manchester City striker Jo

Funny that in both the Post and Echo accounts no mention is made of Lescott, given all the previous chat they've had to make on the subject. Been told to leave it a respectable amount of time before continuing their priming of everyone for the Lescott to City news I expect.

We all know it's coming. This has been a classic Everton sale process.

As said before, I'd be really happy with this. Strikers sorted with little or no money spent, meaning we can spend whatever budget we have on the midfield/new right back. Great business.
