Joleon Lescott

[kenada_blue]

First of all, agree with your post. He isn't worth 15-20 million, fact. But the time realism prevailed on transfers in this currently mad footballing world, has long been gone. As I see it, City wants to be seen as a new big force in world football. All good and well, but make sure they pay like crazy in order to do so. Use City as our milking cow. Get Senderos in asap and stuck want-away Lescott on the bench, directly besides Moyes. Name our price, mine would be somewhere between 25-30 million, or 20 million plus Jo.

Thing that I hate most in this transfer saga, is the way Lescott waited so long, before handing in his transfer request. Reminds me a lot of Rooney, who also waited till the last minute, before declaring he wanted out.

Sensible...but Everton dont do sensible.

We should've slapped a price on him the minute he was tempted to be going. Even with Citeh's finances they wouldnt pay £25mill never mind £30mill but at least we'd have a leg to stand on.

All we got now is "he's not for sale" even though he wants to go. By saying "we want £30mill for him" they've got to offer us something knowing what we want. But we havent done it like that. What we've done is sat off, stood firm, while Citeh have pecked away with Lescott knowing full well he'd be getting £90k a week. Even Ian Wright, who's son plays for Citeh, said when does it stop when a team can just go after a player over and over - a player who in season 2007/2008 wouldnt have even sniffed at Shitteh's advances, even last season. But no, we allowed them to peck away at him.

Bollocks.

And I'd just about convinced myself he was going to stay too.

He's left us a big hole by leaving it this late. Ungrateful [Poor language removed].

I just hope we're not in for a repeat of the beginning of last year.

Bollocks to him and City. I hope they get bloody relegated.

Yeah, I mean why wait??? Maybe in Lescott's head he was hoping that Moyes and Bill were bullshitting or that City would suddenly return with a huge bid? Perhaps he was trying to do us a favour by waiting for City to just get pished waiting and say: "Go on, here's £25M. Can we have him then?"

Or like you wonder, maybe someone's had a word?

Davek got it right, didn't he? He said at the end of this window that Lescott would be the villain, and the club would be in the clear.

Thanks Neb. It's really not rocket science though. The club's crest should be the head of Judas Iscariot.

I have a feeling richard dunne could be used as a makeweight in the deal if the deal goes ahead.

 

[del78]

I'd take Dunne as CB over Neville or Rodwell any day.

I havent read the whole thread, so sorry if anybody else has said it, but I reckon he will start on Saturday, Moyes will love making him play. I wouldnt want to be Lescott to be honest.

Dunne is in his 30th year now , and though he was a great player , I can't see this happening .
I won't be surprised if Lescott stays and rides out the storm . City fans are starting to get far too cocky . A few bad results and as Keegan said " I'll love it " .

 

[kenada_blue]

Richard Dunne is shocking...I'm sorry, he really is.

Would love that to happen, really. Would love us to [Poor language removed] over City, although I'm hoping for more than 15 million.

Thinking about Moyes' declaration about him being consistent , and that he won't sell anyone , I'm wondering if the board may have gone over his head .
This would be a possible get out clause if they were to do this regarding him going back on his word .

It'll be Davey Boys decision on what happens to Judas Lescott.

I just want him gone now, so that we can move on and forget about him.

Nah, dont think so. Only thing the board have done is not find financing to keep players like Lescott and bring other players in.

Lescott's with Barry and Wright Phillips at the England training camp having words...he wants more money and sees Citeh with more ambition than Everton....

 

[AdamTheGreatOneB]

As much as I want him to leave, I kind of want Moyes to block this transfer until at least January. Either that or do a deal with Arsenal. Anything but give those Citeh bastards what they want.
