LESCOTT OUT
- Thread starter citoeast
- Start date
Lets get a few things straight.
I apolagise for making another thread on this but it's fucking pissing me off now.
If people are going to criticise players who have played a few games for the club just because they are attached to a player who has now departed us due to making too many errors and not being good enough to get in the first team and for where we want to go then feel free but it has no reflection on the new players ability.
It seems many people have not taken kindly to Lescott replacing Dunne and apparently do not see him as a superior replacement. Well for a start he's left footed so that's the first improvement, secondly he's more of an aerial threat from set pieces and scores goals into the opposition net rather than our own.
I respect and back the decision made by Mark Hughes, our manager, who has made a 100% start to this campaign. If he is prepared to shell out way over the odds for a fully capped England international (albeit a fringe player, behind Terry and Camel Gob) and replace a player who was in shocking form last season then that's his decision. Whatever happened to backing our current players? It's not Joleons fault that he's replaced a crowd favourite is it? Why should it reflect badly on him?
The sooner people let go of the sentiment for Dunne and realise that just because they're throwing their toys out the pram Dunne isn't suddenly going to re-appear in a City shirt and Lescott in a Everton shirt. Move on for gods sake! Dunne is the past, Lescott is the future.
RANT OVER!

Did it really need another thread when there are several already? Me thinks you are seeking attention!
