Everton have confirm they are in talks with Arsenal to sign Philippe Senderos for a fee of £6million. Although they have said he is not a replacement for Joleon Lescott, who is currently being targeted by big spending Manchester City, it seems fairly obvious that he is in fact the replacement.
I think it would be a good bit of business to sell Lescott to City, who are reportedly ready to table a massive £22million bid. Lescott is a decent player, but he’s not in the same league as the top defenders such as John Terry, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, etc… Whenever he plays for England I have my heart in my mouth, as he always seems to make some awful mistakes on the international scene. It seems to me he cannot handle the pressure at the very top, and £22million is way over the top.
Having said what a good deal it would be a to sell Lescott, I’m stunned by the move to sign Senderos. He is, in my opinion, terrible. He plays a solid game most of the time, but it’s guaranteed that he makes at least one or two mistakes that cost a goal per game! Arsenal seem to have a policy of hiring poor defenders, and to be signing Arsenal’s rejects is pretty low…
You’ve got £20million, surely you can find someone better than Senderos…such as my grandmother…Ok I’m joking, but seriously!
