Lescott [Merged]

[mikeyboy]

i for one don't think jagielka is a better defender than lescott. everton fans will see this once he gets back at CB for them and lescott is not alongside him. reminds me of the city fans who thought kit symons was better than keith curle at the time. when curle left symons turned into a right donkey.

 

[Shooter 83]

Despite them lot being all pissy about lescott most believe jagielka to be a far better defender than king klingon

He is though, shame he's injured.

One good 3/4 of a season, get a grip lar.

 

[BLUEMOONBAZ]

I hope we drag this right out ..mmm until say friday and let gollum pull his hair out .. yeah knee,s dodgy extra test methinks
leave them sweating

Obliged to drop publicly chasing him via the media, yes.

What statement made by anyone involved at the club breaks that rule? Go on, find me a quote.

I don't think Hughes has been flawless in this at all, but he hasn't broken any rule. The stories apearing in the press are no different to the stories appearing about Senderos (I believe Moyes has made similar comments to Hughes on Senderos) and the stories appearing about Taylor.

Don't kid yourself lad.

He's had one good season. There's no saying he will regain his form after his injury.

Dunno, Lescott was awesome the season before last, Jagielka made him look good last season and was getting picked by Capello before him.

The year he got his 10 goals, he was playing 90% of matches at left-back and bombing forward much more often, too many on here are expecting some sort of goal machine defensive legend...

I reckon it's a waste of money and now that Moyes will stop moaning and start sorting out transfers, there's every chance that Everton will be stronger in a weeks time than they would've been had Lescott stayed put.

Maybe you'll get a draw soon!

the amount of everton fans i have told this is annoying. We dont need him as a goal machine. We have Tevez, Robinho, Adebayor, Ireland, Santa Cruz, Bellamy, SWP and Petrov to score us the goals

 

[stony]

I think that's wishful thinking mate. There's no way Moyes will see a quarter of the transfer money. If the rumoured £12 plus Jo is true, I doubt he will see any.

Don't kid yourself lad.

From the 7th;

"I could have lifted up the phone and asked David if he would sell his centre-half and he would have said no," Hughes said. "So where do you go from that point? If you ask every other club we have dealt with about transfers this summer, they will tell you we have conducted our business pretty correctly. Certainly Arsenal, you ask them how we dealt with signing Kolo Touré and Emmanuel Adebayor.

"What we try to do is get the relevant people who can conclude a deal around the table but they [Everton] have been reluctant to do that. People obviously don't want their best players to leave but players are now seriously considering their futures if they feel there is an opportunity to come to City. That's all we are doing, and that's no different to clubs in years gone by."

 

[marco]

apart from him getting on the end of set pieces lescott has no need to be up there with the quality we have, he's good in both positions LB-CB,CBfor me unless we have injuries

lmao like clutching at straws. Harry twitcher would be facing the firing squad

What about Moyes talking about the Banega deal?

If thats your case, you've lost I'm afraid.

There is nothing in those quotes that breaks any FA rules.

I'm surprised, I thought you might find something borderline at the least, but if thats the best you can do I must apologise to Leslie, because he must have acted totally above board.

A bit like how your club taped up our then manager Howard Kendall in 1990? consider Lescott payback pal ;-)

 

[OJ Blue]

Let me just clarify.

I originally heard about this transfer happening around 2 months ago, the original source was an Everton friend who knows a staff member at their training ground.

The second time I got wind of this was from a different friend, who is mates with a former Everton player (now plying his trade elsehwere).

The third and final source is from a friend who knows a former City Captain, which is where this latest info from, I wouldn't post anything unless there was more than reasonable chance of it coming true.

ITK or whatever people want to claim is a load of bollox, I'm a City fan wanting the best for our club and passing on what I believe to be genuine information. I get snippets now and then that is all.

So all in all 2 good City sources and one half decent Everton say its happening, and I for one believe it.

Why don't you just fuck off, you know nothing prick!

Devastating stuff.

If you think that amounts to malpractise then every manager in the country would have a case to answer.

You've got £22 Million to spend - I hope for your sake that Moyes has some advanced plans on how to spend the monies.

Of course he has, David makes all the decisions.

[sam221985]

sweepstake on how much of the tranfer fee they actually spend on new players before the deadline?

I'm going for £4m
