Joleon Lescott - GONE

[eamonn]

I wonder what his brother Aaron thinks of it all. He was out original Lescott.

Lescott and Richards are big mates and travel down to training together each day. I imagine Micah is getting fed up having to come off the M6 at Great Barr when he could come down the toll road quicker to Bodymoor and has been giving Joleon some earache over it. No doubt the toll will be part of the contract.

Not sure we really need lescott. I'd have had him a few years ago, definitely. But you don't end up at albion for no reason. Sooner we got a tried and tested striker in.

I'd say we need both.  Clark has cost us points in the last two games.

As has amavi ! so a left sided defender makes sense.

I like Clark but he hasn't started well at all. I don't think having Lescott does us any harm at all.

Can't help but think of the 3-2 game at Goodison when I think of Lescott. When he equalised late on and he "pretended" to throw his shirt into the Villa fans.

He wasnt laughing 2 minutes later!!

Lescott's face when that happened is one if the funniest things I've seen on televised football for ages.

He always used to give it large when scoring against us.

He ran directly in my direction sitting in the front row at Goodison and I was that pissed off I left the ground only to hear the roar of the Villa fans cheering the winner just seconds after I left. Would the Everton steward let me back in to celebrate? Not a chance, and I deserved it.
Never leave a game early.

Fully agree. Only weak minded bumders leave early.

But Amavi has only just come into the team from overseas so deserves a bit of time. He also balances it out by offering plenty going forwards ( like the cross to Sinclair for the second goal yesterday). Clark has been fucking it up regularly for 3 or 4 years, and if he can't be relied upon by now he probably never will. He's good enough for the squad but not as first choice. Lescott is definately required.

Any updates on this? Looked all but dome on Saturday night - Collymore tweeted: ''Lescott deal, all but done'' Or is Peace playing this out?

Gervinho is in some kind of race with Nasser Hussain to see who's fringe can back peddle fastest.

Lescot will make mistakes just like Clark and every other defender from time to time

Anyone thinking Lescott is going to come in and be the perfect CB will be very disappointed
Yes he will do some good things and improve us at certain times but will probably make just as many bloopers if not more than Clark especially considering his age and the fact he won't be getting any faster/better/younger

I reckon they will keep us waiting till the last minute. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't let him join after all.

Bank holiday isn't it.  Everywheres closed.
