I'm guessing he'll probably sell off Caicedo & Benjani, but the first five are all gonna want to start, and you can rest assured they will show it if they don't. I can only see this ending in disaster for them.

This is something I have a problem with too. Why are MC buying so many strikers. Okay Robinho played left midfield for Real Madrid so at least he has 2 positions he can play in, if he'd ever stop whining & play some football! Tevez & Adebayor will probably start but I'm not sure they'll work well together. Tevez could probably play central attacking midfield too if needed but with Stephen Ireland playing a stormer that doubtful. Santa Cruz & Bellamy will probably warm the bench so as for the rest of them even though I like Benjani, its reserve football unless their sold.

El Salavador and Honduras actually

For City, expect three strikers, probable first choicers being Adebayor in the middle with Tevez and Robinho on the flanks.

BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | E | Everton | Lescott wants exit from Everton

Not surprised, probably shouldn't be disappointed as it might mean we'll have a transfer budget now, blah, blah, blah. I would be sorry to see him go, even for £22m, not only because of the loss to Everton but because I feel that he'd be much more appreciated and possibly even achieve more being with Everton than with City. However, I can't complain and he's done really well for himself here and wish him every luck.

Though I am annoyed that our brilliant central defensive partnership of Jagielka and Lescott is unlikely to appear again

[Psychotic]

Jagielka's going to sign for Liverpool for £2m. Just so you know.

Looks like it's suicide again for me!

I like what Torres said about City. I can't find a link, but he said something along the lines of *ahem* "When you retire from football, you don't think of how big your car or house is, you think of the trophies you've won". This is why I think Lescott is barking mad to leave Everton. First of all, the Toffee's are a very decent team, who work together and gel. Not to also mention the fact that they are playing in Europe next year and have a fantastic manager in Moyes. Shamble City & Hughes is a much better option. Jokes aside, money talks in alot of cases, sadly enough.

As for Jagielka? That would be a good capture for Liverpool if he did go (and for such little money).

What will Everton do without their defensive unit? Senderos & who?
