Lescott needs to go. The morale of the team is now at stake. We can use the money to strengthen in numerous areas. He wants to go and the longer this plays out the worse it will get. Sad to say because I think he is a good player. But once he handed in his transfer request all bets were off. If this lingers I fear we will no better than mid table.
Lets just get rid of him. Like i said before £22 million or there abouts for our second best defender, rip their hands off. He's not interested in playing for us, the fans were very generous in cheering him, and he still couldnt care less.
Get rid of him, bring in Taylor for £8 million, then spend the rest on replacing the [Poor language removed] that is Hibbert and Osman. Pft.
I know it was probably paper talk but the Petrov & 20 odd million doesn't sound to shabby at the moment. Either way it needs sorted by the powers that be at the club to back Davie.
Our great season last year was built on team spirit. Lescott has destroyed that team spirit with his antics this summer.
The sooner he goes the better.
