Lescott : would you have him back?

[bluejock]

Player of the year last year.

Not a sh*te player, just badly out of form.

 

[Summerskin]

Didnt used to be.

But yeah he is.

1 on 1 off for me.

After settling in during the second half of 09/10 = Boss.

Post World Cup 10/11 = Loudmouth sh*te.

Last season = Mint, deserved of award.

This season = Horsesh*t.

Next season then he's due to be boss again by this logic, ffs MoYleS!

Think city will buy a CB in January which will be the nail in the coffin for lescott.

Also I imagine just getting to be arguably England first choice along with jags, doubt he's really keen on staying at city as a player who's fighting for a place just on the bench!!

Well pienaar's already back... Lescott next, just get Rooney and Arteta back and moyes will have the squad he always was trying to build!!

 

[EFCNIK]

The personal preference would be for Heitinga to stop being gash and go back to being one of our best player's like he was last season. It's obvious that Moyes has never like him though. Linked away in every transfer window since he got here. I'm surprised he will have lasted 4 years in January! I like Johnny loads.

 

[Papa Shango]

Good on him for forcing a transfer which screwed up our back four after ignoring the fans at the Arsenal game and totally capitulating. Strange thing for an Everton supporter to say really.

He signed a contract, and didn't stick to the terms of that contract. Why you're saying 'good on him' for that is beyond me really.

Its a business. They dont owe us nothing. Clubs ship players out after they have served their use. Players play for money and medals. He got both. You are living in a dream world if you dont think that every other player (with a few exceptions) feel the same way. If the right offer comes they leave.

He isnt an Evertonian, so its not the same as Rooney for example. He is a professional footballer who does whats best for him and his family. Life goes on.

With respect mate, you're not getting it.

I totally understand that it's a business. In business, you don't sign a fixed term contract and then [Poor language removed] off your co-workers and boss to break your contract.

If you want to leave then you make your feelings known to the manager, and if he says no then you act like a man and not a tit, and see out your contract. Like a certain Steven Pienaar did.

People are confusing 'business' with acting like an absolute bel. Football being a business doesn't justify the latter.

Or even if you don't see out the full contract, at least act like a professional until the situation is resolved.

Yeah. If you were a builder contracted by a firm to be part of a year long build somewhere, and then you got a better offer from somewhere else you wouldn't flounce around like a bad bell until your boss was practically forced to release you. I imagine in a lot of professions that would lead to you being taken to court for failure to fulfil said contract.

Or taken round the back of the portakabin by the scaffolders and having your f*cking head stoved in.

I take your point mate but it's impossible really to compare football and Any other business it's just operates on a completely different set of rules to everything/everyone else.

Good shout that, but if my manager didn't let me quit my job I wouldn't just accept it and stay.

Sure, but you wouldn't sit at your computer (say you work in an office) and bang on the keyboard until he let you go.

 

[Eggs]

£90k per week, can't see it happening even if we only pay a part of that bunce. If he came he'd be expected to play and he wouldn't be much of an improvement on what we have. Moyes will look to the future. He likes a left sided centre-back and the young lad playing for Ole Solskar looks a longer-term replacement for Distin.

Sure, but acting like a bel is acting like a bel. It has a universal meaning.

Footballers have a different set of rules, but because it happens all the time doesn't mean it should be shrugged off as 'its the way it is'.

 

[tim cahill]

Im no ITK but if we sell in January I think it will be around £6m

Think it'll be less than that to be honest. He's 29 and out of form.
