He knew Lescott was adamant on leaving, that the defender was not to be stopped, so Moyes did what a good manager would do: cash in on it! City have millions more to spend; to them it doesn't really matter if Lescott cost 22m or 18m. In the end, both sides gained from it! I also thought Moyes was pretty shrewd with this.

Here in Spain, Ribéry and Xabi Alonso: all day long talking about them and finally they only signed the former Liverpool player. Tevez saga of course, which started in december actually.

He was banging on about City going about things the wrong way, saying the player was definitely not for sale. When the sale eventually went through he then moaned that he'd not had much time left to get replacements in, and that City knew the price and could've stumped it up earlier in the summer. Well, A). City were pursuing John Terry, and B). Hold up, thought you said Lescott was DEFINITELY not for sale. Moyes shamefully jumped on the press bandwagon of "bullying, nasty Manchester City, with all this money" and used this to drag City through the mud until he got what he wanted. In the meantime, he made mugs of Everton fans and created disruption in the dressing room. I actually hope he takes over from baconface at OT.

He would of been the focus of Chel$kis demise. Red Rom would love to bail out this was the last straw & a huge ego challenge of loyalty biting you on the bum after all he'd done for JT. Moyes had a 5 year contract at Preston until a better offer came around, a year into the contract. Lescott has copied the same format that's all & we are the better for it, he is as good as Terry was 3 to 4 years or so ago & will prove it if he gels with a good partner.

David Moyes is guilty of believing what the press write about him. His own opinion of himself is totally out of step with what most real people think. His assertion that he is in charge at Everton shows how deluded he is. Anybody with an ounce of sense knows that the man who holds the purse strings is the one who decides who goes and who stays. The decision was never Moyes' to make. The reason he was left so little time to find replacement was down to his own stubborness and greed. That Lescott was for sale was never in doubt, only the price. I agree with Jeff. David Moyes is guilty of believing what the press write about him.

Its fortunate that Jag's is injured cos that would of been a massive shame to lose him to the money machine, if you want him... £40m at least Le$cott has just bought the Blues Distin - 5.5m Heitinger 6.5m Bilyaletdinov 10m And knowing moyes does his homework am guessing these boys are gonna prove master strokes you may take our players, but you wont, take, our Freedom....!!!
