    Utter garbage I'm sure but thought I'd share.....

    http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-n...newcastle-and-liverpool-defenders-replace-les

    Manchester City are targeting Newcastle's Fabricio Coloccini and Liverpool’s Daniel Agger as possible replacements for Joleon Lescott.

    The Blues are looking to bolster their defensive options this summer, leaving a question mark over the future of the England defender.

    With Roberto Mancini keen on the pair, along with Athletic Bilbao defender Javi Martinez, the 29-year-old England stopper could be the odd man out at Eastlands.

    Lescott, who had the best season of his career when he helped Manchester City to the Premier League title and starred for England during Euro 2012, has just two-years left on his current deal.

    Talks on a possible extension were always planned to take place after this summer's tournament in Poland and Ukraine, along with the likes of Gareth Barry and James Milner, but now his future in the North West is uncertain.

    Manchester City's spending won't end with a defender though with the champions also keen on Arsenal skipper Robin Van Persie and Napoli striker Edinson Cavani.

    You want Coloccini you say? £15m and Lescott should cover it.

    Why also buy a defender who has just signed a new long term contract??

    I know money is no real object but it just makes no sense what so ever.

    Utter trip as usual to try and spark a debate or reaction from the toon fans!!!
    They (the media) tend to target us because they get more of a reaction from us!!!

    What you could call, a bit of stirring up.

    OK, OK, to calm everyone's nerves. I'll take one for the team.

    Send me tto Citeh in a Colo wig, after we've taken £20m for selling 'Colo' (who will of course still be at the Toon). We have Colo + £20m in the bank - result.

    I'll just injured in the very first training session and they'll never know.

    Now we'll have to disguise the real Colo of course, and give him a new name, as though we've bought a replacement.

    Oh and as part of my 'sacrifice', I'll keep the £100k+ per week - but will share out any signing on fee!

    You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.

    When they've got nothing to talk about they know they can always get a bit of attention talking about us.

    Yes, easy pickings. The trouble is, we never know what's geuinine and what isn't. I usually ignore all speculation - but we do have a history of selling players 'unexpectedly', so it's easy for the likes of TalkSport to target us. At least we don't have the dreaded 'Friday announcements' - those were dark days.

    Out of jail now, but ................................................. You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Obi Wan again.
