Just wait and see what shirt a player is paraded in not what rags put to sell. a lot of you reasons to believe them and if stones wants to go like they also say to city let him ask lescott what happens there ðŸ‘.

Baldy, lescott won trophies and over doubled his wage there for five years was it? I'd say he done alright even if he did end up a bench warmer.

A bench warmer and how much did City get for him after giving £25m? Lescott was by no means a success at City. Kompany is the only CB that has been a success at City since the take over.

Didnt they win the league with Lescott and Kompany together? One on his own is not a good way of playing. One crap one does not win a league. It takes 2 playing well.

NBTB I never said he was a success, but he did taste success and had some decent form, was just not the first choice or manager who took over favourite, he won medals and he was on a good wage. They never got anything back from there 25 mil cause he sat out his very good contract that he wouldn't have got at another club and I don't see what city paid has got to do with what he done there mate.
OP said look at lescott, he won trophies and doubled his wage, so if he is a example then I think that appeals more than not winning trophies and being on half the wage.
I'm not supporting him as the way he done it stunk, but he is not a good example to use to say don't move to city really is he?

Where is Lescott now Degsy? With a relegated team? Putting pictures of his expensive car on the net after getting beaten in a game while it looked like they were well on the way to getting relegated. Championship football for him next season. Kompany on the other hand still with City.
Incidentally, Lescott was playing for England while with Everton. How many times did he play for England while with City? He was a master flop. No two ways about it. He has a league medal. Doesn't necessarily mean he played well.

Yes he is BeStryne. They never got anything back from the £25m. That's why its a good example.
If he was a success and was a good player with them that done well answer me this. Why did they allow him to run out the contract? Why didn't they offer him a contract to keep him if he played that well for them?
They were only too happy to let him go. £25m and wages gone. What happened subsequently? Villa signed him! That was a success! He was that sought after when he done so well with City that Villa were the only club willing to take him on.
How did that go? He conducted himself in a disrespectful manner at Villa which I've mentioned above to Degsy. He didn't care Villa went down. Absolute disgrace.
I disagree with the majority of flack players get from media or fans. But Lescott deserved some for last season. On and off the pitch.
