Moyes is an absolute crackhead. he's been shown up as an absolute amateur.
This was a great chance to get money that was way over what Lescott was worth and hence been able to invest it all in the team and he has blown it completely. When you consider Everton don't have much money either it really is insane.
Man City were desperate and Everton could have probably even got one of Dunne, Kompany, Zabaleta or Onuoha in return along with some money.
This summer we've seen Wenger allow Toure and Adebayor to leave when the money got silly and we've even seen Ronaldo been allowed to leave when the money got silly. It's freakin' Joleon Lescott for crying out loud! £20 million!
Epic fail Moyes.
I agree in principle. But what if Moyes couldn't agree deals for Lescott's replacement? What if any clubs he talked to were hiking up the prices of their own players knowing Everton were due a 20m windfall?
Many things could have gone on behind the scenes, especially if there was going to be a transfer merry-go-round resulting from this Lescott deal.
