We all knew this would get rejected, Everton know we have cash they dont want to sell etc.

Lescott knows this is probley the only chance to get his big move. He will have to ask leave soon or we will move to another target and we'll probley end up paying 20-22m.

There is still a huge part of this transfer window left , and many things can happen .

With respect to City , it isn't proven to be a big move .
Madrid , United , Liverpool , even Arsenal ( have you considered their interest ? ) etc etc yes , but untill you prove yourself , it has to be considered a step down , even if you won't like to hear that .

Wolves will take a 15% slice of anything above initial Wolves / Everton fee , and Lescott will get a loyalty bonus if he doesn't request a move .
I'm sure you can do the maths , then figure what's left for a replacement of similar quality .
 
If there's a choice between getting Lescott for £25-30 million or signing Matthew Upson (our most likely back-up target should we give up on Lescott), i'd still do the Lescott deal any day.

Nah. Moving to a team with one of the best stadiums in Europe, with bigger crowds, now with some of the best training facilities, with players like Tevez, Robinho, Adebayor, Barry, Ireland, Given, Toure, along with the best youth academy in the country AND with a massive ****ing wage.

Yeah, you get the picture.

It is on paper but it's considered a step up kind of.

We need to prove we can gel as a team.

That'll be a first. I don't suppose there's any chance of you keeping your word for once and staying away is there ?
 
i disagree with the assesment that it's a 'step down', as it's only true from one particular point of view. however, I can see that the deal wasn't as favourable to everton as I thought it might be. the 15% is one big problem, but more than that, Moyes didn't get Naughton, and Cana's move to Sunderland shows that there will be a lot of competition for the type of players that Everton would be after. as much as everton don't want to be seen as a selling club, city won't want to be seen as a cash cow. this one is teetering on the edge. I'm not convinced that Lescott handing in a transfer request would change much.

Your normally one of the more sensible posters from the scouse side DSOB but that above is absolute rubbish.

In previous seasons, yes it may well have been. Now, well now, the skys the limit for us. We have even had Jose and MON commenting on how rosy this season looks for us! Realistcally, who is more likely to break the top four? We all know the answer, sure Mr Lescott does to.
