The reason I ask is that £6.5m isn't expensive if Lescott can give us what Distin has, which I am confident he will.
I think the main thing for me is the fact that if we had been more solid this season - not conceeding silly goals vs Newcastle, Norwich, Fulham, etc. then we'd probably be comfortably top!!! Lescott and Jags are a brilliant combination - Howard, Baines, Jags and Lescott are a proven unit.
