Lescott [Merged]

[kiam06]

The fee is £12m now plus they will take Jo at the end of the season, good business I think.

Just what we need strong, quick and most importantly good in the air!!!

That's not the issue.

If you look into the FA & Fifa rules regarding tapping up, once a team has declared (publicly or otherwise) that one of their players is not for sale - interested clubs have to break off the chase.

Which rule is this? If you're going to make the claim lets here you back it up with facts please.

And if Moyes is saying no, and Kenright is saying yes who determines whether the rule has been broken?

Article 17 (5) any person subject to FIFA statues and FIFA regulations (club officials, players’ agents, players, etc) who acts in a manner designed to induce a breach of contract between Professional and club in order to facilitate the transfer of the player shall be sanctioned.’

In layman’s terms, if the manager of club ‘A’ (City) says to the media ‘I want to purchase the star player (Lescott) of club ‘B’ (Everton), he should leave his contract and play for us’ then the manager is in breach of FIFA’s statutes and regulations, and is unsettling a player or, ‘tapping up’ the player.

But as has been pointed out, it'll be dropped now anyways - same as how Chelsea didn't follow up with their threats earlier in the summer over Terry.

I wonder what squad number he will be? He's currently 5 at Everton but Zabs has got no.5 for us already.

I noticed whilst looking at the player's profiles i noticed that they still have Kolo's birthplace as:

Bouake, Ivory Close

Has anyone else noticed this?

From the EFC OS. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/lescott-fee-agreed.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/l ... greed.html</a>

Everton has agreed an undisclosed fee with Manchester City for the transfer of defender Joleon Lescott.

The Club had previously rejected two offers for the England centre back, with David Moyes repeatedly stating his desire to keep his best players at Goodison Park.

However, Lescott informed the Club he wanted to leave 12 days ago, submitting a formal transfer request.

That request was quickly rejected, with the Blues boss again reiterating he was unwilling to sell the player.

But since then Moyes has revealed there was a noticeable change in the player’s attitude and as a result decided that it is in the best interests of the Club if he allowed Lescott to leave.

Chairman Bill Kenwright has worked tirelessly to get the best deal for Everton, achieving a substantial increase on Manchester City's initial offer.

Lescott will now meet with Manchester City and will sign subject to him successfully negotiating personal terms and passing a medical.

More reverse gears than an italian tank! pmsl

Bill has worked tirelessly lol and David decided he had to go mwhahahahahahaha

Not even we wish Lescott the best of luck! Class!

Hughes never said anything like that.

The rule you've quoted refers to approaching players with contract details without the permission of their club. I'm sure we did do that, but they'd never be able to prove it.

16, He used to have it at Everton.

then say the selling club makes the deal public before anything had been said, that would negate the whole rule, as Hughes would be acting in response to Evertons comments rather than a direct question to the player. so run along and find another.
