Lescott will do well at Citeh. Him and Toure will be solid. The need rid of Dunne and Ben Haim. Toure was pretty much doing Dunne's job as well on Saturday, while Dunne was up to his tricks of almost giving peno's and corners away.
Lescott will make Citeh solid. Anyone who says he wont are low balling him. Toure is more experienced than what we have and will be solid partnership.
i'm not being bitter here, i really think city are going after the wrong kind of player.
terry was a good shout for them, a solid, consistent centre back.
lescott is a very good centre back, but do you remember how shockingly bad he looked at the beginning of last season? at times he was awful, and even the season before once or twice he made mistakes that make you shake your head.
in spite of this, lescott is pretty confident on the ball, and more importantly he's a goal threat. we really don't score all that many goals, lescott is a defender that comes up with important goals, match made in heaven. also, lescott is versatile enough to play two positions (3 actually, we played him as a striker against someone 2 seasons ago in stoppage). city have a gigantic squad, everton barely have a full first team and we seem to have the bad luck of having every single player injured for some time, so while lescott's versatility isn't all that great for them (they have plenty of wide defenders), its invaluable for us.
city on the other hand, will have no shortage of goals this season. tbh i think a player like yobo would be better for them, someone who's not necessarily the most skilled going forward, and is nowhere near as versatile, but who will typically make a tackle when its needed. also, they have the quality up front to receive yobo's hoofs and do something with it. with lescott, i can see him make a couple mistakes (the kind we all forgave him for because we knew he's quality), and get thrown out with the rubbish to make way for the new highly paid star. i just don't see city demonstrating the patience to take the good with the bad.
