City obviously have an open cheque book for a quick attempt to mix it with the top 4 and compete for the premiership title, they are part responsible for the present hike in salaries and transfer fees. If Lescott force’s Moyes hand then we should cream them for 25M minimum. Other clubs will try and do the same to us, we need a good margin on Lescott’s fee.
Key factor here is having to buy two players to replace him, a centre half of decent class to rival Jagielka/Yobo and a left back to cover Baines.
Everyone has their price though.
Im going to end up really hating City, money corrupts and turns fans into massive bellends.

Player Valuation: £15m
£30 million lowest we should go if we do sell. I'd rather we didn't though. Not just because Lescott is great, but also to avoid strengthening a rival, and avoid being a 'selling club'.
Chico in sensible post shocker.
I post loads of boss stuff.
I liked it mate, it stood out. Everybody is like, great we get £xxm, we can spend that well. But they all fail to realise that before we do ANYTHING with the money, we have to replace Lescott, which is not going to be easy. Your looking at spending any price we get for on an inferior 2 player replacement.
The market is over-inflated, everybody will know how much we have to spend and this will bump the price up even more.
Stay strong Moyes. Lescott hasnt come out and said he wants to move, even after the City bid. So jib them trampy mancs off all day long. Think twice when they get past £40m.
Defo.
Every other club would know that we'd collected x amount for Lescott and adjust their price accordingly.
Blades set the price for Naughton at 23 million"

Then Spurs nip and offer 24m. Wobblied headed bung taking judas.

Another thing to think of also is the rivalry.
The top 4 teams very rarely, if ever, sell players to each other because - what's the point in selling a player to a rival and help them?
Everyone (mainly the press and fans themselves) are always preocupied with "beating the top 4" when in fact you've got to look at where you are and who are threatening your position. If you split it up into different leagues our rivals in our mini league would be - Villa, Spurs, Citeh.
So selling Lescott doenst also create problems in our own transfer targets and team, but we're also giving one of our main rivals and massive boost to finish above us in the league.
Yes, Citeh gave us Jo, but Jo will never play a game a Citeh and would be at another club. They're also wanting Lescott so more fool them for sending him our way.
Its like Villa selling Ashley Young to Citeh, or Modric to us - key players going to help your closest rivals isnt a good step to make. So £20million and Lescott goes the other way ends up with Citeh finishing above us or at a push beating us in a semi final of a cup is going to be a done transfer isnt it?

I know its all part of fusballpolitik but Lescott could end this by saying he was happy at Everton.
The listens-to-his-agent-and-keeps-schtum prick.
I well prefer Yobo anyway.

He has said it twice already to be honest.
Dont ever let facts get in the way of one of my rants.
I mean like now, when all its speculation is at its peak.

Since no-one seems to have posted it yet, the Echo reckon City have lobbed Onuoha into the deal.

Cheers mountain man. Good spot that.
I dont know much of this Onuoha but it read like Moye wont sell anyhow.
Balls in your court Mr Lescott.
