Looks like he's played his last game for us, folks. Rodwell & Yobo paired together on Thursday, anyone? Thanks for your service, Joleon; but don't expect flowers and chocolates upon your Sky-Blue return..

These players want success but what they aren’t saying is they want lots of CASH and success. If we had retained Rooney, surely we could have gone on from there. He has become a big profit maker and we sold him for nothing in comparison. Lescott will never have that effect at City, so it makes even more of a mockery of this suggested price.

Don’t get me wrong, I want City to pay through both nostrils but why Lescott and not Rooney? I have always kept an open mind towards the board, now my heart is screaming... get rid of all of them! Blue forever....

Why is he still insistent on keeping him if Lescott is doing what he’s doing, get rid of the cunt. I hear he refused to train, well if that's his attitude then why doesn't Moyesy take him to City himself and pick up the £20m + Petrov and Johnson whilst he’s at it and keep Jo!. : )

It has gone past ever working and it appears he is the only one who wants him to stay now and it has become too personal to him and it is hurting the club badly. Get shut Moyes and let’s move on, it’s hardly Ronaldo we are losing.

Its not like we are losing a Maldini or a Baresi or a Beckenabuer. He’ll be replaced if BK gives the money to Moyes. That's a big IF though. Vidic, the fella at Arsenal, and Skirtel at the RS show decent defenders are available at good prices.

I’ve always believed Moyes has a figure of around £25m in mind whether that’s a straight deal or say £20m plus a player is debatable. I seriously expect the club to now demand City put up or shut up. The serious bargaining starts now and not with an opening salvo of £15m its more likely the bidding will now commence at £20m. If Moyes does succeed in realising a figure in this region it may well have been worth the deliberations.

The fans have shown the manager great support throughout this whole saga and it’s now more important than ever they continue to do so. The last thing the manager and the club need now is for the fans to be demanding a quick sale.

I do suppose that by making a stance like this though, Moyes is trying to send a message out to other clubs that, unless we want it to happen, you have no chance. Unlike a couple of season ago, when the likes of West Ham were said to be after Cahill. I hope he pulls it off.

A Wolves fan I know has asked one of their officials what they’ll get if he’s sold: it’s definitely 10% of anything above £5M, so on the current offer (£18M), Wolves get £1.3M & we get £16.7M.

That rules out most of their players then and the players they probably want to offload will have an over-inflated price on them much like Lescott. If they are thinking of offering £18M + Dunne and we are pushing for £25M (rumoured), I can't see Dunne being worth £7m... not a sniff!

Now it is obvious that he wanted to go. So Moyes should have said to Kenwright, "Lets screw as much out of City as possible, Petrov i would like." Then demand all of the transfer money to get in players. Tuncay off 'Boro'; Taylor off the Barcodes, and Hutton off Spurs.

With today's actions of him training with the reserves, we are left with an unhappy player whose attitdute stinks and a very stubborn Moyes and no-one is happy. Where do we go from here? Moyes's stance is admirable but after what he has said in the press he may feel stupid if he backs down and let's Lescott go.

So farewell then, Joleon. Enjoy the money.

Guess that's him gone then. What price will we get now?

With Jagielka out, I expected Lescott to stay until he returned, then if he was fit in time, move on in January. If Jags wasn't fit in time, I thought Lescott would stay until the summer. I thought he'd be a big enough man to see that Everton needed him for at least the first half of the season.

It appears that Lescott isn't prepared to help out the club and manager that were prepared to give him his chance, so fuck him. If he isn't professional enough to get his head around his "problems" and play for Everton, then give Man City a £30M take-it-or-leave-it price. If the £30M isn't forthcoming then leave him in the reserves and give him a year to think about what a naughty boy he's been.

He took us to the brink of disaster at the start of last season with his childish sulking because he couldn’t get his own way, and here we are 12 months on, Moyes posturing again and putting his own stubbornness and arrogance before the good of the club.

The much criticised Chairman needs to nip this one in the bud as soon as possible, he and the Board must tell Moyes to sell Lescott and get some quality players in before the deadline. If Moyes doesn’t like it, let him piss off, there are plenty of young hungry and ambitious managers out there (does that ring any bells 7 years on?).

He has dithered and dithered again and again for weeks now, and by his own admission HE runs things at Everton, so the failure to sign Naughton, Delph and Elm — just three of the players we know for definite he targeted — is down to HIM, it is definitely getting to the stage where he is putting himself and all his egos before the good of the club,

We all know and all the managers in the Premier Leagur know that the right side of midfield needs replacing this season, but I cannot for the life of me understand why Moyes can't see this, it really can't be that hard to find a right full back and a right winger can it?
