Just read the last 8 pages , and conclude that the same clueless comments have simply resurfaced .
When Everton state themselves that Lescott has handed in a transfer request , we will know for sure , and untill then , it's the usual speculation . Even if he has , it will only become a factor in a much larger equation .
Moyes will do what he feels is best for the club , and if he decides it's not in our interest to sell Lescott , then he won't . If he decides we can get a good deal , and use the funds to take the club forward , then he will . Lescotts thoughts are important , but not decisive .
ITK's make me laugh . There is only one ITK at this stage , and that is Moyes , and anyone who says they know for sure what is happening is guessing just like everyone else .
Let's speculate :
Why will 'Moyes' sell ?
We all know the only reason is if it benefits Everton , and not necessarily City .
We have needs as a football club in order to move forward .
If the funds from Lescott appease those needs , then yes there is a good chance he will go . The most likely event is Moyes will attempt to secure his targets , possibly even on the back of City money , and if he is successful , and 100% certain that the deals that he wants are agreed , and he is happy , then you will get yourself a good defender .
This is possibly why it has gone quiet on the Lescott front between clubs regarding the press .
There may be a gentlemans agreement between the 2 clubs that Lescott will only go if our targets are achieved , and a fee may already have been agreed that allows a little movement for Moyes needs in order for him to complete his deals . He won't sell first , 'then' try to buy .
Of course , the above is huge speculation .
The other scenario is that Moyes feels he can get by with the funds that he has , and will tell City point blank NO !
He can do this , as he is in charge of the situation . Neither City , nor Lescott can make that decision for him .
All the City v Everton banter going on in the background is amusing , but we'll all have to wait and see what happens , so in the meantime , there's little point getting frustrated and attacking each other .
