Lescott [Merged]

[Gwladiator]

Toure & Lescott are both fine players but i'm not sure they'll make a great partnership, i think we could still struggle at corners & high balls into the box as neither is particulary great in the air.
Time will tell & i hope i'm 100% wrong about this.

Lescott is pretty good in the air, a sight better than our current lot of defenders in that department anyway. He's well known for scoring headers from set pieces too.

Never understood why people label him as a goal scorer, he had one decent season where he managed 10.

Welcome to MANCHESTER Joleon a proper BIG team thats going places.....i bet it`s nice to get away from them bitter moaning smalltime scouse twats.

 

[blueinsa]

hahah fuck you scousers he will be city player

In fairness, it's us having the last laugh in regards to the fee.

Not really mate, the money is of no real consequence to us, the player is and also the disruption to another rival team is also.

If i was a Everton fan i would be happy with the deal as the money is excellent, however the way your manager has conducted himself in all this would be setting off major alarm bells in my head.

Wrong, its Kenwright having the last laugh, as you wont be allowed to spend it

 

[hgblue]

why can't fans accept that were going to be challenging for major honours, instead of resulting to the money insult

In fairness the same was said last year, I'm not saying you aren't going to be big but you can't say money wasn't a major factor to a player moving to a lower placed (recently) team without European football?

If it makes it easier to take to tell yourself that Jolean has left for money alone then that's just fine. Deluded, but fine. However, don't expect a good reception for that point of view on a City Forum. Players can see where Everton and City are heading. Unfortunately for you, it's in different directions.

Total joke of a transfer, lads. You lot look bad, and you did effectively tap Joleon up. We, on the other hand, look like complete idiots too. We could have done this deal a while ago, but Moyes totally misread the situation. He acted like a complete prick the last week. Now, as is normal, we're starting a new season totally unprepared.

So I agree with a lot that you say. Moyes is a twat, and he he has screwed the club on this one.

Hopefully we'll recover, since although Moyes is an awkward, thick git sometimes, he's a great manager on the whole.

But fucking fuming with him at the moment. Hope we take you lot to the FA, though. Like I said, you acted like idiots too. And Hughes looks pretty useless if you don't mind me saying. He always reminds me of a man that has just spunked his load over a girly mag. He has that shifty look about him (hope you find the humour in that).

Thank God it's over! Now that will be £24m cash please!

 

[Mighty Mo]

What the fuck is this?

£24M? Thought we wern't getting held for ransom for fucks sake. They NEEDED us, we could've haggled £16m AT LEAST.

Fuckin' hell Hughes. We didn't actually need him either.

stop fucking whinging!

don't give a FLYIN FUCK not my money

I wouldnt believe ssn sources pal.

Not all your fans are laughing

People laughing at City for buying our first choice centre back and leaving us with Joseph Yobo and an injured Phil Jagielka with 9 days to go in the transfer window.It is good money for him, there's no doubt about it but the situation we are in is ****ed up with a captial F. I really hope Moyes has some players lined up, I really do.

Realistically who are we going to sign now? None of the CL clubs from any country are going to want to sell their best players at this point, even if we offer shitloads. I doubt good players will want to a club that they probably won't have heard of and is at the bottom of the league table. If we get it wrong again and sign Fellaini for 15mil or whatever I'll be devastated.

ohhh the old "he's not that good one eh" ?

a) the money doesn't mean much to City at this stage in our development

b) I dount more than half of the transfer fee will go to Moyes and that's an optimistic (from your point of view) estimate.


so maybe you get the last laugh in , but it's a bit of a hollow one.

I'm not saying money was the only factor, I'm just saying had you not doubled/tripled his wages, the outcome of this may have been different.

He's good, good defender, you are getting yourselves a good player, just saying don't expect 10 goals a season from him.

pmsl at this!

It's fecking killing you mate admit it!

No evidence at all that we have done anything wrong, come on if we spoke to him that happens all the time and will happen in the future. You were the ones making it public by putting on your website.

The bit about Hughes is bizarre

Take us to the FA - haha. What's this about Valencia not knowing anythings about this transfer Moyes is spouting off about ????

 

[kidash]

are they for real on that grandoldteam.com

"2 centre backs and a world class midfielder/winger, couple of loans.

Get it done."

a world class midfielder. at everton.

.........................L-O-L....................

 

[mike channon´s windmill]

A part of me is disappointed to be giving them a lifeline whist they´re on the verge of imploding, but we bid for the player and he wants to come so it´s only fair we go through with it I suppose though I think the fee is nowhere near the SSN quotes

 

[HellasLEAF]

ahhh so he's FINALLY a Citizen.

I reckon he'll looking rather dashing in the ol' sky blue!!

Very excited about this lads. TOP SIGNING!!!!!!!

 

[Paulmcfc2703]

He's good, good defender, you are getting yourselves a good player, just saying don't expect 10 goals a season from him.

in fairness mate not many of us think he will score a lot. We have Tevez, Robinho, Adebayor, Ireland, SWP, Petrov, Santa Cruz and Bellamy to get us the goals this season ;)
