Mate, I'm not doubting you or the word of your source in the sense he has a perception of what's going on (is he in the States with them by the way?). What I do know is that if Everton want shut of a player the whispers go out he's 'not focussed', 'unwilling to commit', 'being a big head'. This is classic club tactics when they want to shift a player: place the emphasis on the player himself. But there is no discussion to be had with Lescott. He's got a lengthy contract to be held to, he's not going to give anything less than 100% in a WC preparation season upcoming, and as the manager has said umpteen times 'we dont need to sell, and we wont be selling our core players'.
I have a feeling he'll stay for another season and see how we progress.
I don't blame him for considering the offer from City, they have fantastic potential and more than anything ambition.
We're yet to see a direct quote from Lescott on this.
Hes bound to want to go - who wouldn't on the wages they will offer?
I'll be thoroughly pissed off if we sell him right before the deadline though.
Simple. £30m or tell them to do one. If they leave it too late, £40m. Otherwise its a clear advantage for City - us, one of their rivals losing a key player without time to replace.
Would be good to see the club take the stance Villa did over Barry. Lescott can sulk all he wants.
Still not going
Lescott owes us.
Lescott owes us.
We should release a statement.
"We can confirm that we have rejected a substantial bid from Manchester United for Joleon Lescott...."
It'll be a matter of minutes before Man City bid a billion.
He doesn't owe us anything.
We paid him to do a job, he done that job.
It was mutually benefitting.
As it will be if he leaves for another job.
