Joleon Lescott? Just priceless
MIDFIELDERS who can score regularly are worth their weight in gold. But defenders who can repeat the trick are priceless.
Joleon Lescott grabbed his ninth goal of the season at Birmingham on Saturday and it would be terrific if he could finish the year in double figures. Yet even if he doesn't, his return has been fabulous.
He has become a quality addition to the team from the moment he set foot inside Goodison Park and it is a testament to his fitness and durability that he has made 91 consecutive appearances - not bad for someone who many felt would struggle because of an old knee injury.
Having been given a big chance, Joleon has repaid the faith shown in him with a string of top performances and has now become an England international. You have got to take your hat off to him, as he is playing to his full potential.
I'm sure he will be after that elusive 10th goal and would you bet against him doing it on Thursday evening?
With Mikel Arteta struggling to get his name on the scoresheet, Joleon's efforts have been all the more important and his team-mates will be urging him to get one more.
