Lescott [Merged]

[The Fixer]

This isn't new to Everton or their fans, though. We have been the favorite to lose our European qualification spot for the last few years. One of the things that motivates Moyes and our squad more than anything is the lack of respect we are afforded from the press and other clubs. I fully expect this to light a fire under Moyes the likes of which the PL hasn't seen and I fully expect to take three points from Arsenal this weekend. One of the things that I am encouraged about is our ability to play the top four clubs better in recent years. We have gone from hoping to nick two points a year to genuinely expecting to get four or more.

Tbh mate i think Arsenal will muller you this weekend!

Wow, you good for you and the whole country. Can't wait!

You won't stay 5th if you only have conkers and tickets for west end shows in your transfer kitty... and you can have Jo he's better than you've got but not good enough for us.

Who would of thought we would have stayed 5th last season with more or less the same number players signed this time last year. It wont be as easy as you might think this season, purely because of your money you are more of a scalp for team and your players havent gelled yet!!

After a late Aston Villa self explosion too. A Spurs side that only started playing at Christmas, a City team that could bugger all away from home and preoccupied with Europe, a West Ham side that started doing well but has the same financial restraint as Everton and without a doubt the strangest Premier League season ever in regards to anyone being able to beat anyone.

(If the offer decreases) So do your chances of getting him then.

One of the angles that is getting lost here is the fact that we are the fifth best team in the Premier League and we do not want to strengthen a team that will be happy to be where we have finished the last two years running. Even the prediction threads here on Bluemoon have as many people thinking Everton will be City's main competition this year as any of the Sky 4.
What manager in their right mind wants to strengthen one of their biggest opponents? (Thanks for Jo, btw)

No, you were the fifth best team in the Premier League, last season. But the 18th, 19th and 20th have gone now, to be replaced by others. A new season dawns, and nobody knows yet who will finish where. All I know is that we have strengthened whilst weakening our rivals, including Everton by lending you Jo

Jo aint so bad, i can see why you thought he was shite but he is slowly improving from what ive seen. Though if its true you paid £18mill Youve been raped....£8 million tops!

Really, why would expect 3 points from Arsenal, admittedly you took 5 points off the Sky 4 last season but it was 5 draws, either 1-1 or 0-0. When was the last time you beat a Sky 4 club? So why ewould you expect to beat Arsenal - is it because we have signed their main centre forward and centre half?

It was a really strange season....great in someways but gutting with the injuries. Everyone goes on about Spurs slow start but we only had 6 points more when they sign Arry and finished 12 above them, they are decent but i think people make them out to be better than they are

Apparently we paid £18 million, however to slowly improve isn't going to get the goals to fire you to 5th place, hence why we loaned him to you, let's be brutal about this, if he was any good do you not think we would've kept him?

Why shouldnt we be confident, same team as last season and we were within 20 secs of beating them last season.

Looking at a lot of responses on here i get the impression you want Moyes to go to Utd, just because he is doing his job for the club he works for. Just a tad childish i think.

Tbf fair mate, he might not be making the right decision on this occassion, it appears his stubborn way is ruling his better judgement imo. 20 big ones or whatever the fee is, is imo 5-6 mill ott and it's obvious your not in the best financial shape because......

A) you had to loan jo again
B) Senderos fee appears to of hit the tracks
C) you have failed to strengthen this window so far

Ive never minded City and i think we have come back at yourselves making you out to be the Villians and you have played hard ball with us , its jostling for position.

Im starting to get a bit pissed off now that we have give you no encouragement , and still Mark Hughes is on SSN saying if they say no we will respect their wishes. Do you all not think its getting boring?

From what ive read on our boards and their are a couple of genuine ITK's we will not sell.

I really hope none of the decent City fans would condone a player striking , as a football fan i hate that whatever the club

No encouragement publicly perhaps, but behind the scenes???

Anyone who thinks that we have bid, blind so to speak on this are kidding themselves.

This is very much like the RSC deal now, £22m they insisted on, we said no, sat back and got him for £17m in the end, if the figures are to be believed. Thats £5m less revenue for a player who never even kicked another ball for Blackburn! Crazy decision! You might very well win your battle, but the war wont be won.



I want him sold but just dont think we will. Getting to late in the day now.

I honestly think that you guys are going to be seriously pissed off with Mr Moyes and co soon.
