If SSN reports are accurate, then IMO lescott must have put in a transfer request. Hughes has always said its about sitting back and seeing how deals 'develop' and that city will make their move accordingly. They'll be in the loop re: lescott and will have been informed of his request to leave, prompting an immediete bid. This also puts the negioating power into our hands, so while there may be an increase, it shouldn't go over 20m.

However, if im talkin bullshit, I would still expect a 2nd bid to be accepted, regardless of transfer request. I just believe the above to be the correct situation.

Where is all this Ned shit coming from? I thought Hughes put that to bed days ago.

I thought that too. It would be a pointless deal if we include Nedum IMO.

£18,000,000 to £20,000,000 and I'm not fussed really. It's nowt to our owners really is it? They make £200,000,000 a day for gods sake!

 

[TheMightyQuinn]

Whatever we pay the press will add 40m on top of it for no reason to make us look like twats anyway so I wouldn't worry about it.

Transfer request? It's only The Mirror but it's plausible.

r City


By David Anderson 29/07/2009


Joleon Lescott is set to join Kolo Toure at Manchester City as Mark Hughes's spending spree continues.

Toure is expected to complete a £14million switch from Arsenal in the next 24 hours, with Everton's Lescott poised to join him.

Hughes has tabled a £15m bid for Lescott, but with Everton sticking to their £20m valuation, the defender is prepared to make the next move to break the impasse.

He is ready to tell DavidMoyes he wants to go to Eastlands in an attempt to drag the Everton boss back to the negotiating table.

Everton may respond by demanding Nedum Onuoha in part exchange. City's England Under-21 international can play centre-half or full-back and would help plug the gap left by Lescott.

Arsene Wenger yesterday agreed Toure's transfer and the centre-half flew home from Arsenal's pre-season training camp in Austria to meet
City.

The Ivory Coast defender, in the final season of his contract at the Emirates, was due to have a medical today and finalise personal terms.

That should be a formality; he has been offered a four-year, £90,000-a-week deal, 50 per cent more than he was on at Arsenal.

SSN ticker had MCFC will lodge another bid for Lescott last night...


They aren't in the loop just guessing.

Ned is going nowhere....

 

[Ntini77]

Pretty confident he'll be a city player, just hope Ned isn't included in any deal.

Ben Haim instead would be nice :D

If that the case for sure then Lescott would cost us at less £20m - £25m.

If Lescott wants to come then Moyes loses alot of Negotiating power.

IF Ned were to go then Hughes wants shooting - this kid needs to be a key part of our future and we hardly need the money; my concern is Hughesm is buying for NOW as he sees his future as short term - IF we do not do well this year he is probably out of a job, therefore why build for the future? This still worries me - want to see this sorted and would rather keep ned even if it meant not getting Lescott

Them and Villa, you should have a look on Villatalk, they hate us with a passion.

 

[Nixon_The_Bike_Thief]

Ned is not and will not be a part of any Lescott deal, Hughes has gone on record to clear this up already !

"Nedum is one of our finest young players, He was outstanding for us last season, and I am not looking to move one of our prize assets away from City."

There is no financial or tactical reason for Hughes to go back on this statement and it was made after the first rumours of everton wanting Ned surfaced.
