I presume by that you mean it looks like Lescott could be staying? Be careful what you wish for, because if Lescott stays against his wishes, you could be left with one unhappy player on your hands. Better for you to cash in if City come up with a good enough offer, keep some financial wolves from the door, and give your excellent manager the rest to strengthen the squad. Just my opinion mate.

I've not noticed anything about Joleon to suggest he is unhappy at Everton though .
It's a very good team to play for afterall .

Do you think Everton will finish above City next season?

We'll be worrying about our own game I guess .
City has everything to prove , not us in that sense . All depends on how well both teams get into their stride . Everton have a few problems at the moment with the squad injuries , but if we were all fully fit , I would be quite confident that we will still be pushing the top 4 .

Even if you keep Lescott Everton are still screwed, no money, no new stadium and no new players. Coupled together with Aston Villa over taking you, City overtaking you and Tottenham overtaking you means you will no longer be in Europe and no longer will you be competing for anything apart from midtable.

A bit like City last year you mean ?

Everton are not skint and will probably get a good few players into the squad this window , regardless of selling Lescott .

Yes a bit like City last year without the money and without the goals though. I have been a city fan long enough to know not to glat, all I'm saying is that Everton no longer have it easy for 5th place and I doubt you will even qualify for europe imo. Selling Lescott for the money we would pay would probably be better for Everton than keeping him. Lescott is good but he's only 12 million good, the fact your getting 18 million just because its City will only help you out.

Personally I would pull out of negotiations and go for Mexes at half the price.

Everton had no strikers las season , and scored 3 goals less than City , but conceded 13 less .
Scoring goals won't be a problem . Why is it that because City have money they expect other teams to play worse ?

personally hope we leave him... moyes is a much more able manager with little money and if we gave him 18m he would buy 2-3 players of lescotts quality.

Most sensible post you've written so far .


well then why do you wanna keep him if moyes could get 3 players of the sam quailty with the money city give

This is the key to this transfer imo. IF (big if), we were to sign Eto'o, Tevez & Terry (just for the sake of argument), does Lescott stick or twist? Absolutely nothing wrong with your club, it's manager or it's supporters. However, Lescott may be tempted to join the 'project', not to mention doubling (at least) his wages. Would Everton be wise to stand in his way were this to happen? I suggest not. Just take the money as soon as possible to give Moyes as much chance as possible to plan for life without him, take his departure on the chin, and use the money to sign 3 quality players.
