2 Points that i want to clarify:
1) Lescott is a brilliant defender.. the entire everton defense department is very very good. I compared Lescott to Mellberg (someone we have and like) Lescott is way better than mellberg in every footballing aspect. I understand his job is not to score goals but to stop goals from coming in (we don't want a burdisso or a materazzi) .. He does that too.. i was mentioning his goal scoring ability as a bonus to his good defending. He is way ahead of Laursen (villa) in my opinion in every aspect.
Get back to the website and check how many clean sheets and goals did everton concede. Anyway we are more or less on the same track.
2) Regarding ashley young. I see that you watch EPL and you can see that he is worth every penny we might spend on him even if it was more than 30 mill.. and the best thing about him is that he and kuyt will add PACE to the team. We are the slowest team on the planet.. EPL players will give us some pace especially young.
guys, We are talking about the replacement for THE PAVEL NEDVED.. the guy who filled in ZIDANE's shoes more than adequately. A Legend needs to be replaced. back at 2001, Moggi replaced one LEGEND with another LEGEND... i hope Secco can do the same good job. I obviously cannot claim that young will be a legendary player, the point is we cannot say "Player X is very expensive we need a player who is cheap" You cannot get a player with Nedved's quality cheap...... never going to happen.. if we find someone we like we must pay whatever he is worth to get him we cant think money especially when we are trying to replace nedved.
Again as i told you, Think back 2003, do you see diego, capel or any other capable of providing what nedved and zidane did? (i know they have quality but they cannot replace nedved)
Zidane===>Nedved====> ?????
Malouda= Fuck no
Kuyt= never on his own will he turn the tabe.. can replace camo not nedved
Swcheinstiger= too late for him
Messi and the likes=

but impossible
Diego = maybe but not probably
Young= higher possibility than Diego
Robben= maybe, but he will be injured and would fuck us.
Ribery = YES at any price
