Yeah and all that plucky little Everton nonsense made him very hard to listen to.
Tbf to him everytime it looked like we were going to establish ourselves someone would take our best player.
Man City taking Lescott changed his demeanour. We had been superb that season, during a period when Chelsea and United were the best teams in Europe not just England. Ended up with 4 serious injuries that cost us the FA Cup. No wonder he lost fight.
Apart from Roberto's first season, we have been a shambles for years, with a defeatest attitude.
Silva, (along with Brands) appears to be the first since that period 07-09 to appear to have the determination and plan to get us back to that point.
This time with the finances to stay there.
