So your saying Lescott is the best in his position in the world?

Yes for me, hes the best goalscoring CB/LB in the world, I dare you to prove me wrong.

Rio Ferdinand is the best centre back around at the moment.

He cost 30 million, I think people have to be realistic. 20 million is alot of money for a centre back, if someone came in with that type of bid for Joleon Lescott then I have no doubts the club would seriously look at it.

I'm a massive fan, I don't want him to leave and he's a quality player but in football you've always got to keep your options open.

He's scored more than 4 goals in a season once in his career.

He's scored 5 this season.

Still I see no names.

Wikipedia lists his name after me.

So did The Sun on Cup Final Day.

Can anyone help me link a photo of that on here?

I can't name you a better scoring centre half than Lescott.

I can name you Vidic, Ferdinand and Jagielka who are better centre halfs though.

A centre half's job isn't to score goals - if he does, bonus. But id rather have any of them 3 any time.

And before you say "well why would you sell Lescott for anyone but Vidic or Ferdinand", my answer is I think it would benefit the whole team for the amount of money we would receive for him.

But my whole arguement is based on the fact we would be making 1 area of the pitch weak, in order to make another area stronger. For me it doesnt make sense.

We would have to buy a replacement centre half though if we did sell him so how does it benefit the team?

Neither did the Rooney transfer to me to be honest.

That is a huge factor as to what we are today.

That was then, in order to buy the players we need to get to that next level, it would need the sale of 3 Rooneys.

Toxteth Blue has it right, Mik. If a huge offer came in, it would have to be seriously looked at. Thankfully, it will be Moyes that makes the decision should that occur. But if he chose to sell, you can't say it wouldn't be with good intentions.
