Sell him Moyes, you tit. He doesnt want to be there. He doesnt want to play or train for Everton. Its over. Move on. Deal with it. This is dragging out far too long because Moyes is a stubborn, desperate tosser. Enough already.
"Everton boss David Moyes has refuted claims the club are about to sell Joleon Lescott to Manchester City, after the England international was axed from their Europa League squad for tonight’s game. Moyes suggested the situation had not changed, and if Premier League counterpart Mark Hughes wanted to sign the former Wolves star, he would have to meet Everton’s valuation.
Moyes told The Guardian: “It is not inevitable that he is leaving,”
“All I have done is make a decision for this game that may or may not be the right decision, but Saturday's performance against Arsenal made me realise that I had to do something.”
“I couldn't let it drift.”
“It doesn't mean his valuation has dropped,” Moyes continued.
“If anything it has made my resolve stronger.”
“The talks he has had with people have obviously upset him and he has lost his direction, but that can be brought back.”
“I can see a time when he is fully focused on Everton again. He has a World Cup to aim for at the end of the season.”
Moyes suggested he could understand City’s interest in his want-away star, claiming English centrebacks are at a premium.
“Most people would choose a British centre-back; you think of Jamie Carragher at Liverpool or John Terry at Chelsea.”
“John Terry and Rio Ferdinand are first choice for England and after that there is a group of Phil Jagielka, Joleon Lescott with Mathew Upson maybe between them,”
“After that there is another group and you ask where do England go for their next centre-backs?”
“There is a lack of replacements and because of the shortage the prices of centre-backs have risen dramatically.”
“People were talking about £40m-£50m for John Terry. The next group is Jagielka, Lescott and Upson, and, with all due respect to Upson, he is 30. The price we have been offered is not close to our valuation.”
The Everton boss yesterday spoke openly about his reasons for dropping Lescott and making the 27-year-old train alone.
He continued: “His attitude has been poor post-Arsenal,”
“Normally he is a very good trainer and very focused but he doesn't seem to be that at this present time.”
“It doesn't mean the end of his Everton career.”
“He might be in the first team squad for this weekend [Burnley on Sunday] if I see there is a change in his attitude.”
“The biggest disappointment is that Joleon is a very good boy behind it all and the people who have been advising him are giving him poor information and have turned a good lad into something else.”
“I can see by the reaction of his team mates that they are disappointed in him as well.”
