Joleon Lescott - GONE

[PeterWithesShin]

If he failed a medical than he is incapable of doing the job he is employed to do. So we should give him a medical and then get rid of him on capability grounds with some payoff. I hope I am not being insensitive here but he is employed to carry out a physically demanding task?

RDM and Tony have both said he didn't fail the medical.

Roberto Di Matteo has confirmed that Joleon Lescott turned down a move to Rangers because he couldn’t agree personal terms.

The Italian said Lescott passed a medical after waving goodbye to his team-mates at Bodymoor Heath yesterday but decided against a move overnight.

"It’s quite public that we had a agreement with Rangers,"he said. "He didn’t agree personal terms."

Also what a colossal can of worms that would open. So last season would we have to send Amavi down the disciplinary route because he couldn't perform after his injury? You can't just apply sanctions to those players who you don't want.

Failed to agree personal terms - meaning I can't see the other side of the street because the air here is full of fucking midges, when it's not pissing down its snowing, the food is mostly inedible and Jimmy Kranky is in charge.  Can't blame him really the useless knacker.

You are joking aren't you?

[mr underhill]

I think it might come down to offering the twunt a reasonable payoff to do one.

Who's looking after the pot?
I'll give £10 to start it off

I think I said if.

No. There is no evidence in previous posts that I have a sense of humour.

The chairman won't let him go on a free to another team in our division so that rules out a Rangers type deal elsewhere. If he had a cushy number lined up in the US or Asia he would be gone already.

I expect he is looking for a retirement settlement. Can't say we weren't warned either, he was useless beyond belief when he played against us in the Cup game a couple of years back under Sherwood.

Joleon Lescott will not be signing for Rangers. The player has decided against a move to Scotland due to family reasons #Rangers

Can't say I blame him, who would want to inflict an afternoon at Ibrox on their family?

Who would want to inflict an afternoon of Lescott on Ibrox? Doesn't seem fair to do that to so many people ;-)
As somebody who favours Celtic I would have loved to see him make a hames of himself at Ibrox. Wishful thinking now that the move has fallen through...

I would be quite happy for him to go to another championship team.

Having met Aftab a few times I can vouch for this.
