Everton insist they will not sell Lescott
By Paul Walker


Saturday, 1 August 2009
Everton are bracing themselves for another bid from Manchester City for Joleon Lescott, but insist that they will not sell the England defender, even for £30m.


Lescott arrived back from the club's tour of Canada and the US yesterday and is expected to play away at Coventry City in tomorrow's pre-season friendly. Everton have turned down bids of £15m and £18m, but there is expected to be a £22m offer from City on the table shortly.


However, sources at Goodison Park are making it clear that their attitude has hardened over the issue to the extent that even a bid approaching £30m would be rejected. Lescott is also now aware that the only way that stance will change is if he asks for a transfer.

The chairman Bill Kenwright and the manager David Moyes have been adamant all summer that they will not sell any of the side that reached the FA Cup final and finished fifth in the Premier League last season.

Everton may be working under financial restraints but sources at the club underline that they are under no pressure from the banks to sell players, as has been the case in the past.

Moyes has returned from the US keen to concentrate on his side's build-up to the season, staring with tomorrow's match with Coventry, and he has two more friendlies next week away to Blackpool on Tuesday and at home to Malaga next Friday to continue that preparation.

The Scot saw his side draw with the Major League Soccer representative side on Wednesday night in Salt Lake City, winning the penalty shoot-out that followed. Moyes was delighted by the form of goalkeeper Tim Howard, who was named the Most Valuable Player after the game.

Enough said, now Lescott is aware, maybe when Everton get back from America, he will ask for a transfer.

We play Coventry tomorrow m8 . Go figure .

Everton: Nash, Howard, Hibbert, Neville, Yobo, Lescott, Baines, Rodwell, Osman, Pienaar, Cahill, Fellaini, Jo, Baxter, Wallace, Saha, Vaughan.

Talk is very very cheap in football mate.

Everyone has a price, including Lescott.

Very very confident that the "rumours" im privvy too tell me that he WILL be playing for City next year.

Gents,
Just wanted to make a couple of points - I'm an evertonian but having followed this theme since page 1 I feel just about as head f%$ked as everyone else.

RE JL
He's a decent CB, still lacking in organisation and sometimes gets caught out - much like Real when they bought Tommy Graveson after watching Lee Carsley - the true hero of Everton's defence last year was Jags, not Lescott. His true market value in a normal year is maybe £8m topps, no better than Cahill or the lad at WHU that I can never remember the name of.
So we should, in normal circumstances sell (esp as our Chairman is a lying, cheating, false knob) - but:
1. With sell on plus loyalty plus the 4m we probably still owe on him its £10m before we even get your cash. Then we need to replace a CB for £8m plus add ons and sign on that is the same in capability as one we have just sold to you for £18m. Doesnt make sense does it?
2. He's under contract, Hughes showed with that hapless striker Santa Cruz (I'll justify that by his scoring record) that he is persistant when it comes to players - he'll still be interested come Jan when our first choice CB comes back
3. You guys have now bought yourself into the position to challenge our league position - why help you?

Whether it happens or not - to be fair I could only speculate, my thought is that we shouldnt, but then had we a better board we wouldnt have sold granny shagger, or before him Jeffers, Dunne, Ball or anyone else Blue Bill could get a couple of quid for.

One final thing - and I really dont want to get into a debate over this, but I've always wondered what would happen to EFC if we were bought by a Sheik - you guys, despite a significant difference in history are one of the most natural comparitors. Some of the comments I have read - albeit as a vistor - have been hugely balanced and show true knowledge of the game, others seem to have got into Chelsea mentality.

Its easy to say as an outsider but dont forget your roots lads - enjoy the cash and the potential, but FFS dont turn into Chelsea. When I worked in Manc, my mates were blues, they had humility and a real streak of humour - unlike their red counterparts. If you become what you have hated for years - you'll never get your spirit back.....

Wonderful post. Have to be honest though mate, I've been sucked into the Kenwright propoganda (listening to him nearly crying on Talksport in the lead up to the FA Cup final) so put me straight.

 

[dario2739]

All three of those were very different situations - and with Everton, you yourself should know talk IS cheap!
When Chelsea sniffed around Rooney a few years back - Kenwright and Moyes came out and said they valued him at £50million but wouldn't sell him if even if somebody matched that Valuation... let me get this right... is that the same ugly f@cker who signed for the Rags weeks later... for about £20million less?
