I'd imagine our offer on the table is on it's way to the bin as well with Lescott signed.

His stock couldn't have been higher.Only to have a horrible an inevitable course of events pan out for him.
Welcome Joleon.

With Lescott, Richards and Gestede are we a threat from set pieces yet?
We were putting more pacey corners in on Saturday, which is nice, I never liked those floaty ones.
