Lescott completes City move

My fellow fantasy Premier League managers, our long national nightmare is over.

via Eurosport/Yahoo!UK:

Joleon Lescott has finally completed his move to from Everton to Manchester City.

The 27-year-old defender signed a five-year deal with the Eastlands outfit on Tuesday night.

Lescott completed his medical and agreed personal terms on Monday after City had a bid, reportedly worth £22million, accepted by Everton on Sunday but there was a brief delay to the England star's transfer going through as a minor wrangle was resolved.

I'm assuming he'll be available for this Sunday's match at Portsmouth.  We'll certainly be watching the news on that.  He's a 10.49 defender, so much like his transfer value in "real life" he's too expensive.  But he may bring additional value to the cheaper members of Citeh's back five - Brigde, Given, and Richards.
