Er, so he IS for sale? Make up your mind.
They arent going to give us £30m. So no, he isnt, step back from the PC cyber warrior.

He means he is not for sale unless city are prepared to pay absoulate ridiculous money. Reason being if we only sell for 20m we have to replace a CB and LB and you will not be able to do that with 20m certainly not to the standard of lescott anyway so for the current price mentioned it does not make sense. However 30m + you could replace lescott and possibly other areas of the team

But we'd have to spend most of that to get a CB of Lescott's ability. What's the point?

As I said, Lescott's a good player but he ain't irreplaceable (despite what others may say) and I would fully back Moyes to be able to find a replacement for a decent price who, if not quite at Lescott's stature, would be able to grow into it. Moyes has a pretty good record of buying lower league players and turning them into first class PL players.

Read reports that we have to pay Wolves 10% of the profit, guess we need to stick another few million on the fee.
Just interested then to those people who do not want to sell Lescott what would amount of money would it take to let him go?
I really dont want him to go but for me £25m for a centre half after we paid £5m for him would represent too good an offer to turn down.

Manchester City manager Mark Hughes could turn his attention towards Newcastle United's Sebastien Bassong after having his latest bid for Joleon Lescott rejected.Everton are determined to hang on to Lescott and turned an £18million offer from City for the former Wolves defender down earlier in the week.
Hughes told the Manchester Evening News: "We've already walked away from situations where we feel our worth and the value we place on players has been exceeded.
"The value we place on players may be greater because the value we place on getting quality in means our valuations are higher than other clubs.
"It's about getting quality through the door and that's what we've been able to do."
Cameroon international Bassong has spoken already this summer of his desire to leave Tyneside following Newcastle's relegation to the Championship.
The 23-year-old has also been linked with Arsenal as the Gunners step up their search for a replacement for Kolo Toure, and Tottenham Hotspur.

I would agree with you if there was someone with simialr ability that has not got an over-inflated price tag. 30 mill and I may bite the bullet though.

Already been said but we will also loose left back cover. Could end up buying two players to replace one with another salary to find and the risk that they are not Lescott class.
If Lescott wants to leave then my price would be £28M. This is a few million more than my original post to factor in any fee for Wolves.
Thats right Hughes, JOG ON.
