Mark Lawrenson: Everton braced for improved bid by Manchester City for Joleon Lescott

I COULD almost hear the collective groan from the blue half of Merseyside when John Terry committed his future to Chelsea.
It will only strengthen Manchester City’s determination to get Joleon Lescott and Goodison officials should be braced for the improved bid whirring through the fax machine any day now.
Okay so City are after Matthew Upson as well to try and compensate for missing out on Terry.
But they won’t stop there – they’ll want Upson AND Lescott to be in the centre of that defence.
