Lescott is on his way to Eastlands


At long last David Moyes has realised that the massive dent in his squad of Joleon Lescott not being picked to play as his heart and Moyes desperate to keep him at Goodison but Lescott made his mind up and dug his heels in until he got his way ( oh wait isnt that what Berbatov did?).
After 2 games and no points and poor morale it has to change fast. So Everton have accepted a £24m offer from Man City and all the rest should been done and dusted in the next few days and Lescot will get his move and be a happier man , Moyes on the other hand has a real up hill struggle to fill the gap . Everton have to use this £24m to fill this position and fast if they want to survive, a big loss for the Toffees as their defence looks as weak as a kitten.
