TheHoob Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I don't doubt that there'll be a good few people who want to leave but surely even we aren't mental enough to let them all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I don't doubt that there'll be a good few people who want to leave but surely even we aren't mental enough to let them all. I've always wondered if we got good offers for say our 5 best players, would we accept them all or would we only let a couple go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Lescott on Twitter confiming he's leaving City then. Wouldn't be surprised if we try to sign him, though a number of packets of Quavers is unlikely to be enough in terms of wages IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, happens almost every summer where its expected a great number will leave and they never actually do. More worried about what comes in which most likely will be f*ck all than what's leaving.

Yep - you'd imagine he'd be a target but Colo staying may put a stop to it as Lescott is also left sided CB and after decent dollar in terms of wages. I'd have thought he would've been the number one choice for Colo's replacement if he had of gone back to Argentina. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I'd let colo go home for free if we can bring in Lescott for the same wages. I'd make him captain as well, and tbh I'm not a massive ran of Lescott but that's more to do with the level he's been billed at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I think if we'd finished 11th, we might have kept Remy (unfinished business) but having managed 10th, what else is there for him to achieve? Can see him retiring tbh, go out on a high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Lescott would be a good buy, doesn't fit our 'blueprint' (LERL) though. I wouldn't be surprised if Pardew is able to convince Ashley to break our transfer policy for a couple of experienced English players on frees. Especially if the rumours about Ashley wanting to go 'more English' are to be believed. Hang-up with Lescott in particular would be wages, as mentioned.

Guest bimpy474 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Lescott would be a good buy, doesn't fit our 'blueprint' (LERL) though. Not a chance in hell, while Pardew always says our rules of buying only youngish players aren't set in stone, it really is. Seeing as Debuchy at 27 was the oldest for a while and he was only signed to keep Cabaye happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bimpy474 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Surely we have to go for Caulker? He was shit and couldn't even mark Shola the other day, not exactly impressed me with his defending all season with Cardiff. Probably playing for them didn't help like, he is better than that tbf.

Stifler Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I reckon we'll go in for Ince only for his ambition to out do ours, we'll go in for Hughes only for someone else to outbid us. There will be strong rumours of both Cabella and Genier only for both players to go elsewhere in Europe. I think we'll end up with Obertan type of players, those in the reserves elsewhere and pretty poor but available cheaply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I wouldn't take a single one of Cardiff's players tbh. I always liked Medel but he's shown little, admittedly in a poor side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
