Oh yeah i'm not saying that there's a risk of him breaking down again, just purely looking at whether City would be prepared to bid as high as what would be needed when he's had to practically have his knee rebuilt a while ago. My concern would be them offering say £18m, we accept it, they...

Yeah I could see it for £18m, maybe with Jo on loan thrown in. To be honest though we have The Yak back for next season so the whole Jo thing isn't a massive bargaining tool and would only maybe account for £1m of the overall transfer fee. It would be interesting to see whether City would be...

Really? I mean seriously are you for real? When did Moyes lose his marbles? Because he'd have to be completely insane to accept a deal like this. City dont have Everton over a barrel, they will pay what Everton ask or he wont be going anywhere. He certainly wont be going for a comical bid...

No Problem! I think Richards has a lot of potential but he's just a kid in terms of Centre Backs. Lescott learnt his trade in the championship and maybe if Richards was loaned to a good championship team or a lower lever premiership team for a year or two he'd develop more? I know when he...

Week in week out he's excellent. He's a centre back and can fill in at left back. He's doesn't really like playing left back and is no where near as good there as a CB. Whenever he's played for England he's looked a bit nervous and less composed then when he plays for us. I think this is...

I would have to disagree completely on this point to be honest. Playing in europe means playing against teams who play a more continental game. International football is completely different to the premier league and so playing in either the Europa Cup/league or the Champions League give...

Its tricky because a players value to the team he plays for isn't always his true value based on his footballing ability. I don't think Lescott is really anymore then a £10-£12m player, however his value to our team is much higher as he's formed a formidable partnership with Jagielka. We...

I think £18m would be a fair value for him to be honest. I'd like us to hold out for £20m, but equally City probs dont value him that high so i'd say £18m seems a fair deal. I think our fans have just been on here annoying you lot because some of the prices people were quoting i.e...

Also for the same article... Asked by the persistent interviewer whether he could be swayed away by Champions League footballer, Joleon said that playing in Europe was important, but not specifically the Champions League. "Maybe not so much Champions League, but playing European football does...

£13-£15m wouldnt be a particularly good deal for us to be honest. Lescott's a key player for us and so we'd need more then that to make it a good deal for us. Were not as broke as a lot of people on here seem to think we are... we dont need to sell players and can spend a reasonable amount...

Were just enjoying seeing you lot go "I think x ridiculous signing is a realistic possibility" only to see them move somewhere else or say they dont want to join City. Reading this forum is a bit like watching old people have sex. You know its wrong but there's just something strangely...

You haven't offered anything, again its just lazy journalism. How could you offer anything unless the club had given you permission to speak to the player? Step 1) Offer us money we can't refuse (£20m) Step 2) Speak to Lescott and offer him £80k a week Step 3) Lescott decides if he wants to...

Transfer speculation. We've been linked with Hunt the Cnut for the last 2 seasons and haven't bought him so dont see why that would change this season. Lazy journalism.

Ok my bad... i'll hold my hands up to being uneducated on the specifics. City really never held a press confernece to unveil him? Thats crazy! Do you know why?

I'm suprised they never mentioned it personally. I'm sure if you searched their forums there'd be hundreds of posts pissing themselves. Maybe the point i'm trying to make isn't that clear, to a large proportion of people out there they will remember his unfortunate slip without ever looking...

It is embarrasing... kind of embarrasing like your dating a total stunner, problem is your mate saw a video of her having sex with someone on the internet. Your proud of having such a good looking bird but you'll always be ribbed by yer mates for going out with her (even if she is way better...

Sorry I might not have been totaly clear here. I wasn't suggesting he didn't know what club he was playing for, just that to the outside world at that moment it made a lot of people laugh. It gave the impression (rightly or wrongly) that his heart has been set on the move to Chelsea and he...

I already had this debate in great length with many posters on here about 2 weeks ago NSNO-ers, so your a bit behind the times i'm afraid. To be fair to the Man City fans you can't expect to come on here and win an argument about who's dad's biggers then who's dad because they'll defend their...

Ok fair do's Spurs finished above us once in the last 5 years... thats splitting hairs really tho. I'd actually rather we spent £15m on someone like Moutinho and another £15m on a couple of really promising youngsters to be honest. I wouldn't want us to go spend £30m on one player... that...

Well they wont generate more money based purely on the amount of money being in the premier league generates... isn't it something like £50m? Apart from that, your saying given the choice Newcastle United are bigger team cause they will attract larger crowds? So you'd just happily ignore the...
