Joleon Lescott - GONE

[cheltenhamlion]

He sold us their player of the season. The problem was he was player of the season in a side that defended the edge of their own box and rarely tried to play higher up the pitch. When he came into a team that did his lack of pace was snapped sharply into focus....

Must be a weight off his shoulders that his playing career is over ?

Car-ma.

Couldn't happens to a nicer bloke with his contract torn up. I wish we could do that more often

Don't think he's a particularly bad bloke.

Just an increasingly erratic and unreliable footballer.

It's more than that as demonstrated by the car tweet and the weight-off-shoulders comment.  But I can't work out whether he's a bit spiteful or is monumentally stupid.

Exactly what turned Richard Dunne from a solid centre half into a an absolute liability.

No, it was his feet. He couldn't walk past one.

I am sure he could do a job in the Premer League for one of the top 6😄

I wouldn't be surprised if he rocked up at Small Heath.

[Toronto Villa]

He's massively cocked up the end of what has been a very good career overall. At his best Lescott was a very competent, reliable multi functional defender who scored a good number of goals. Now he's just another bell end.

I see he's rocked up on Sky as a pundit at the Watford Everton game.

Translating into Klingon.

[Richard E]

They wanted someone who could comment on inept defending from the perspective of an expert on the topic.

[OCD]

I can't remember who the other pundit was but he said something about defending and turned to Lescott for support/confirmation on his point and Lescott just looked confused.
