Lescott [Merged]

[C_T_I_D]

The lescott deal will definately happen this week. I am no ITK but basic knowledge of the term 'Typical City' tells me that we are bound to pay £20 million+ for a player who was part of a defence that conceded 6 goals. *simples*

I disagree. Moyes will let pride get in the way and decline most deals we offer (unless it gets ridiculous)

yes thats right boys, let's slag off our captain on a forum that A LOT of neutrals/journo's read!
your attitude astounds me, btw robbie didn't score 5 on saturday, let's see if we can swop him for kevin davies!

dead right fella - it's the empty vessel syndrome, it's why programmes like 606 are full of inane moaning idiots, most of who do not go to matches and do not have a clue about football, and invariably make farcical and negative comments. Let's face it most people who go to the games do not share these outrageously negative views about Richard Dunne - some do, most do not, but as I said at the start empty vessels...

Tosh, mate. Tubthumping Tosh.

"Empty Vessel syndrome" suggests that people like me, who think Dunne should go, are thick.

It's a prefectly valid viewpoint and one which, in my opinion of course, most sensible City fans have.

so don't call me thick, please, and don't call me an empty vessell, and I won't call you anything.

I see this as a non-starter. I think Dunne would like to return to Everton if he was to leave us as he'd probably pick up where he left off in terms of relationship with the fans. TBH wouldn't even be considered for one second in my books! I don't think we'll get Lescott now but that's just a gut feeling. The last two I doubted though was Tevez and Adebayor...hmmm...;-)

its weird with TBH i dont rate him myself but i think there maybe a half decent CB there somewhere, granted we've never seen it and i dont think we will but i could see many lower prem sides fancying him, but i think our biggest obstacle getting rid of him is the reported wages he's on here, most clubs that would court him probably cant offer a third of what he earns here!

who is this guy...lol

I am sure from what we have seen and heard that it is a distinct possibility that he will be at COMS come Saturday.

Come on blues, BlueMoon Rising...

Re: Kompany VS Lescott.

If so, then we need to focus on a new DM. Preferably someone who is also good in the air, as we lack some aerial strength in our team. A cover for Ireland and Barry should come regardless of the situation at the back. Dont you agree?

I think your right the issue with TBH is that there are very few clubs that will pay him the money he is on here and to get them to pay it, he has to be playing more often than not, which simply will never be the case here seeing as he is right now at least 5th choice CB.

Re: Kompany VS Lescott.

Do we really need to go and pay over the odds for Lescott with Vince yet to return? I for one think his best position is CB and we no longer need him in the centre of the park. Him and Toure for me are as good a pairing as Lescott. Might not score as many but we have enough goals in us now for things like that not to be an issue. I would rather get a top quality left back and someone to cover for Ireland now we have no Elano. Lescott is not a proper LB and at some point if Ireland gets injured or has a bit of a lean spell a bit of extra midfield flair will be essential. Van Der Vaart luked good the other night, and is allegedly available and Drenthe at Madrid is also an attacking, pacey LB. I thought Kompany had a brilliant first year and will only get better. Id rather we strengthen elsewhere and give Vince the nod at CB.

bondsman if you get hold of hughsey's e-mail address send him this!

I'm sorry but disagree. DM wise we have De Jong and Kompany when fit. It also depends on what formation Hughes puts out

Exactly what I was saying.
