As a keen Everton supporter, I write in a positive and relaxed mood over the possible sale of much-loved Everton player Joleon Lescott, amid reports he will move to Manchester City.
The English Centre Back could well leave after reports he will hand in a transfer request. And with two bids already rejected by Everton, it seems Everton are bracing themselves for a third bid from moneybags Manchester City.
In my honest opinion, I believe Lescott leaving us would be nothing short of gutting for the club, but almost certainly not a major ‘downer’.
Raking in cash of around £25m, getting £30k a week off the wage bill, and selling a player who’s heart seems elswhere is something I would say is a good thing for any club. Would you agree?
This is the situation Everton are in. The situation we are believing at the moment anyway..
I believe without Lescott the club will be fine. Of course, he’s a talented player, but no club should keep a player that wants to leave.
In conclusion, I hope Lescott does stay, but if he wants to leave, Get some cash in and get rid!!
