Now the reason I'm thinking about this is, wouldn't it be incredibly stupid of the City management to send a young, talented striker to one of our nearest rivals in the race for a top six/four place, on loan of all things? I mean, what if Jo scored the goal that put Everton in the Champions League at the expense of City?
Yeah, that would be almost as stupid as planning to use a player as a bargaining chip, and then sending him to Everton before you've agreed a deal for Lescott.
