I'll try to be balanced in this, but I seem to remember some managers always playing the "we dont discuss other teams players" card when this sort of media scrum is created, I think that Hughes would be well advised to follow that line - it suggests an air of respect and quiet confidence rather than setting himself up to be called a moneybags.
Lets face it, if Lescott wants a move, he'll move - I'm not falling out with anyone over it. This is a country mile departed from the Rooney saga - Lescott is a Brummie and a Villa fan, we simply cant expect him to spurn a great pay day because of loyalty. Sad but true.
One other thought - sure to please a couple of the people accusing this thread of becoming an EFC home page, I wouldnt be at all surprised if Kenwright was pulling all the strings - make it look like we are putting up a fight rather than just rolling over.
I just wish this whole debacle would be resolved quickly!

If, as has happened, someone else then comes in who's willing to pay him more and they're serious about keeping him, they need to offer him an improved contract and try to persuade him to stay, not just bleat to the press about how it's all not fair.
I disagree about that. Players won't ask for a paycut if their form and value drops, so why should they expect a payrise when their value is high.
Both sides agree a contract in good faith, no side should be under obligation to change the conditions of it IMO.
And if players want the freedom of movement, all they have to do is agree a six month rolling contract and they're free to talk to whoever they want.
Look.. this is not the place to start talking sense, people here want to argue with you, know go away and come back when your a little more angrier :)Glutton4Punishment said:He's just pissed at the thought of losing a good player.
