    In a world where Lesscott cost £25m, Vermaelen for £10m is a steal.

    Never rated Lesscott, Everton had City's pants down at that price.

    How he keeps getting in the England squad is beyond me.

    He's better than Richard 'clogger' Dunne anyway.

    Best piece of business Hughes has done by getting shut of him.

    Every team has a clogger at centrehalf who likes a tussle. City will regret selling him over the course of the season.

    they will. Legohead and toure are hardly players you want in the trenches when getting bombarded with balls into the box.

    Another defender that's had a poor start to the season....

    Rio Ferdinand, looks lazy and disinterested at times. It's allowed mistakes to creep into his game. Had a shocker for England against Holland and he almost cost Utd a couple of points today! He needs to get his head down and get back to his best.

    I'm not doubting his ability, on his day he's one of the best defenses in the world. It's just I think he's just not with it at the moment.

    Something is definatley wrong with Rio.....

    I'm hoping it's just taking him a bit of time to get back up to speed after his injury. We need him back at his best for next summer!

    I've been saying that for years about Stewart Downing

    Another over-rated sack of /poo
