Well he likes his cash does Lescott.

Don't we all!

If you take the money he earned after tax from Manchester City (even without any dodgy tax schemes) and take off living expenses he would still be able to get about half a million a year just by investing it in practically risk free investments. Add on the money he saves from his time at Everton and from now until retirement and you can see him having an income of about a million a year after he retires without having to get out of bed.

I know that people go on about the money that footballers earn but when you actually calculate it it's even more shocking.
 
there is no doubting Lescotts ability and its great that Bruce can even have these negotiations as a City manager , but im not massively concerned that we seem to be out of the running for this .
I'd rather see us push for players that seemed equally unlikely , players like Bertrand , Ince and Rose , Along with the likes of Livermore , Husband and Maguire .

I do not want Lescott to sign for us. I would rather have Alex Bruce play instead of him. If coming to us becomes dependant on what other clubs have offered him, he can get to ****.

Rejecting us for WBA is nothing to do with relationships, its all to do with money and we have seen it in the past, players who lack the passion and only see the pound signs.

Hull City does not have the glamour of some clubs, but for ****s sake WBA.

We need to up our money for Livermore, that would be money well spent. A player who wants to be at the club.

I hope Steve Bruce does sign Ince though, he will be worth the money and have a sell on value. I see the way he is being pimped around by his Dad and I consider that to be different to Lescott. We do not know anything about who Ince is actually speaking to and if he signs for us, we may never know what has gone on, if he doesn't sign we will be no wiser. But Lescott and his agent should take a look at themselves.

Lescott, your words about it not being about the money are rubbish.

Except that he has a good relationship with the new WBA manager and has already indicated money isn't a big part in which club he chooses since he was willing to halve his wages..

I would take Dawson over Lescott myself as well. The real key signing for me is still Livermore.

I agree. I am worried that we will mess around about the fee and let Crystal Palace in. The fee Tottenham want is certainly high but given the way he has fitted into the team and squad he will be very difficult to replace.
 
Disappointed in this as would have shown a measure of our intent. We move on, there are other players available that will improve our first XI
 
Would of been a great signing, but oh well.

But we lost out on two things we couldn't compete on. Location and his relationship with the manager.

Getting both Dawson and Livermore now should be the TOP priority imo. Looking from afar at what is going on @ Spurs now i am very hopeful.

For info, Spurs have let coach Les Ferdinand and youth coach Chris Ramsey leave the club. The Pocchetino revolution is gaining pace.

That is how it goes. The player has gone back to his roots and we now move on as is life within football.

Relieved he's out of the picture. A shadow of the player he once was (as WBA will soon learn) and ridiculously overpaid and overpriced. Dawson is far better value and 4 mill. would be a real bargain. Also he is a player who gives 100% like Curtis and Chessie and would fit in well with the team. Also has a real connection to the club through Andy. Great deal if we can sign him and Jake. If we miss out Williams or Fonte would be good second choices

Fonte, as in first choice at Southampton Fonte?
 
Over the years Hull City seem to have a thing about going after has beens, this is just another one so we move on. The last one I remember was Bill Baxter from Ipswich a tough competitor in his day but slow when he came to us but would Deano be classed as past it when he came home? He scored that cracker at Wembley so maybe not, I can't remember how old he was when he came 'home'.
