Sounds like we are slowly getting there...

What's with all this we'll come back for Jagielka rubbish. We don't need to come across as Mr Big Bollocks in all this.

Seems like some people have it in for Everton because they messed us around with Lescott.

They have their own problems fighting in the Premiership and in Europe and with a thin squad can't see how they'll compete effectively. That's not a dig its the truth.

Everton have their own issues. Let's stick to what we are doing.

I agree but when I saw how Lescott had to face the bitterness of the toffees on thursday it brought home to me what a bully and a coward Moyes is, putting a man's life in danger to act like billy bigbollocks and basically blaming Lescott for last weeks defeat

Agree mate said the same thing myself earlier. The only ones out of order in this is EFC and their management.

Look lads, I don't mind your club wanting to buy Lescott. But please cut the sanctimonious crap about Everton being unreasonable for either not selling him, or wanting more money for him. The fact is that he signed a contract last season, and until then was happy to be an Everton player. If you are so desperate for him, then offer us an acceptable amount. It doesn't matter that Joleon is a £15m player. We don't want to sell at that price, nor are we legally obliged to sell. Moreover, some of you seem to playing the moral card on this, acting as though Everton are morally obliged to release Joleon to you since you're far richer than us, and can make him wealthy beyond his dreams. Now that's bullshit. Joleon signed his contract at £35k or so a week, knowing full well that it meant he was obliged to honour the contract. Everton didn't trick him into it. He's not some dumb kid, he's 27 years old, and was fully aware what he was doing. Hence, we are fully entitled, both legally and morally, to tell you to get lost, and to tell Joleon to buckle down earn his huge salary.

What City have done is try to unsettle the player, and it's worked. So Moyes has dug his heels in, which he's entitled to do. Obviously, it seems prudent to release Joleon if a suitable offer comes in. But that isn't £18m, which has been turned down. Don't forget, Everton still don't need to sell. Joleon is a professional, and should he remain with Everton he'll realise that he's no option but to settle down again. Plus, don't forget that Joleon is hugely popular within the squad. He won't, at the end of the day, screw his buddies. Moreover, as you know, fans are fickle. It will take a couple of decent performances and a half-assed apology from Joleon to get the fans on side again.

What I'm saying is Joleon is far from completely estranged from the fans and the club. If he stays, things will get back to normal eventually. Moyes knows that, which is why he'll hold out for top dollar.

If you really think he's for you, then get back in there with an offer that Moyes will accept. If you're not willing to that, then quit bleating about it. The onus is on City, the richest club in the world, to either pay through the nose, or find a defender elsewhere.

The ball is most definitely in your court.

Erm, Lescott only asked for a transfer AFTER Everton went public about City's bids for the player. City had made no public comment about Lescott prior to Everton's release of the info. Are you privy to Lescott or his agent's phone calls/texts/e-mails and can prove that City "tapped" him up?
