Lescott [Merged]

Re: Interest Ended in LESCOTT!!!

Even though it's supposedly come from Hughes himself I'm tempted to say it's bollox, but looks likely now. Just can't believe we'd walk away at this stage. Unless either Upson deal has been agreed or Moyes really does want £30m. In which case it would be the right thing to do.

SSN have definitely made a ridiculous mistake. Hughes was clearly taking in generalities...hence why it has been removed from the yellow ticker. Hughes was simply saying that we've walked away before and we will do again if a deal becomes impossible.

theres nothing on the OS

Sky Reporter: "Will there come a time when you walk away?"

Hughes: "I've said time and time again that if we feel a deal can go no further down the line then we will pull out, and thats what we've done"

Sky have decided that "thats what we've done" meant that we have pulled out of the Lescott deal

Realistic conclusion to be made if this is what has been said!

That could be taken both ways either generally i.e. we've done it in the past or specific to do with Lescott

I hope this is true. This would be the perfect time to pull out as Lescott is now very unsettled and Everton have started to treat him badly which will unsettle him and the club even further.

He hasn't.

Read Lescott thread for more details.

Until it's on the official site i.e Eto'o then I wouldn't pay attention to SSN

whats going on? i think ssn jumped the gun a little there

Hughes was being asked about Lescott by SSN and got clearly tetchy. Nothing has moved on post-Barça and he was rather annoyed to be being questioned about it again. He ended by saying something along the lines of "we'e prepared to walk away from deals, which we have done." SSN read that last bit as him saying we're no longer in the race for lescott...poor journalism. If they weren't 100% sure what he meant, they could easily have asked for confirmation.
