Our defence has been shite for years . Lescott will improve things and he will be a first choice player. Anyone doubting that hasn't been paying attention.

That's for the manager to do, not those thinking he's past it. And I'm still not convinced he's good enough to be in our team.The good old "It's not up to me to say who we should sign" reply/cliche. You're quick enough to say we shouldn't sign him, so why so shy about who we should be getting?You started with the clichés. I just have a different opinion. One that I'm entitled to, as is everyone else theirs.As for your question, I suspect that we are already sufficiently stronger at the back than we were last season. I don't see Lescott as an improvement.

Anyone who says he's past it could perhaps come up with their own alternative, good enough to be in the team but equally happy to be third or fourth choice, and available for a couple of million.

Why sign another?If we want experience why not get Evans in. Another £4m is nothing in comparison for a player who is younger, experienced and will have a resale value.What about Jason Denayer?

MK Dons 4-0 Yanited. Captain and centre back - Jonny Evans
I despair at some of these armchair comments
