In a way, he is to City, particularly at this stage of the transfer window.

But in general, IMO he's probably an £8-10m player, basing that on several premier league centre backs who went for similar money and considering their standings at the time as well as the jump in the market there's now been. I'm thinking of the likes of Davies & Cuellar, Anton Ferdinand, Upson, Kaboul, and the aforementioned Bassong.

At least you've seen some of that money spent on a new player.

£25million was reserved for Tevez ... unspent.

£15million for Valencia was already agreed.

£80million for Ronaldo ... unspent.

£105million has bypassed the playing squad and gone straight to the Yanks and their debt.

Glad they aint getting my money this year.

You not renewed then?

On the bright side at least we might be able to cover one of the interest payments this year.

Does the financial position of the club allow them to do that?

No idea, I don't work for Utd. However if Fergie wanted to buy Villa for £50m then I reckon he would get the funds.

You don't know the clubs financial position because you don't work at the club but you are confident that United would spend £50m on bringing Villa to Old Trafford?

Weve put £12m price tag on him.

Id say £10m is about right TBH espeically in todays transfer market, Lescott is valued around £20m by Everton although hes better than Turner ATM hes not that much better IMO

Bassong went to Spurs for around £10m didnt he? and although hes quality and i rate him highly Turner he just as good if not better than Bassong

I think it's fair that Brown's whacked that price tag on him, he's Hull's player and they don't need to sell. Much like us with Alonso, they can demand whatever they deem needed to buy a replacement. It's obvious Hull aren't considering selling him with that price. In today's market he's worth about £5m, in a normal market he's worth about half that, and that's taking into consideration his nationality..

Joleon Lescott has submitted a formal transfer request to Everton, while he is on England duty. Everton have rejected the request.

I have a feeling that this will go down to the last few days of the transfer window. Could Everton end up making teh same mistake as Spurs did (i.e. over the Berbatov issue)?

You asked my my opinion and I gave it. I think SAF has money to spend but he feels he does not need to spend it right now, rightly or wrongly.
