A few more now I have your attention lol .
We apparantly owe Wolves a sell on fee .
Joleon is contracted untill 2012 , which means that we will probably be liable for a loyalty bonus payment unless he puts a transfer request in .
Both of these matters must be considered in a final price , and combined , they are a lot of money .
Our valuation of Lescott is X - amount .
We won't sell at our valuation , as that is not good business . If your car is worth £5 grand , and someone offers you £5 grand out of the blue , why would you sell ? You then have to get a reliable car all over again , and the next car might not be proven . So what do you do ? You seek compensation , and ask for £6 grand etc etc .
We can ask for more than our valuation , because we DON'T want to sell him .
Jags is injured , and will miss the start of the season .
The African Nations begins in January , so we will also lose Yobo .
We currently have no cover for our defensive positions , unless we move our existing players such as Rodwell and Neville around , or bring in a young player .
Without even selling Lescott , we already need to establish at least 2 defensive players to provide cover .
Because of this , I think Moyes will stand firm , and keep hold of Lescott , unless the price becomes enormous .
Lescott can ask for a transfer all he wants , but if Moyes doesn't want him to go , he won't go .
Lescott won't risk a world cup place by throwing a hissy fit , incase Moyes throws him in the reserves , so face it ; Moyes holds the cards here ; NOT Lescott .
So far , we haven't signed anyone , other than a few kids .
We won't sell when we haven't got replacements , as their prices will become difficult to keep down , and if we do manage to bring in players , then we certainly won't want to lose Lescott .
This is why I feel the price would need to be in excess of £25 mill .
City might well pay off Lescotts loyalty bonus , or Lescott might waiver it , but we still need to pay Wolves .
Mate your going to be very very dissapointed soon!
I feel your chances of getting him are very slim in this window , unless City are prepared to pay an enormous fee .
