We've let Jo, Bojinov and Caicedo go on loan and we've released Vassell and sold Evans. Hopefully Benjani will be next.
Bit of good news for LeftyLee though.
We're very likely to walk away from the Lescott deal. It was a near certainty to go through once Everton had found a suitable replacement. This hasn't happened. Basically Everton are playing hardball over the fee - which was actually agreed (don't know what it was)and City are ready to call their bluff and walk away. This will probably break in the next few days (in the media), unless Everton do a massive u-turn or Joleon puts in a transfer request. Cue Lefty saying ' i knew we'd never sell him' ;D
news coming out from us is that your lot and villa have made bids for upson who was worryingly left out of our team today and your also in for neill

We're not in for either of them mate. We might go for Upson at some point but only as a last resort - too bad because i rate him aswell.

This could happen in the next few days. I was speaking to my mate last night and he reckons Lescott might force Everton's hand here. The rumours of us going for Bassong are total bull. They were fed out to the Manchester Evening News along with a statement from Hughes saying we will move on to other targets if others don't materialise (lescott). My mate's heard this has forced Lescott's hand, cue Moyes rant in the papers this morning. Lescott has been left out of the Everton squad for today's friendly with an 'injury' so what looked like a dead - duck, could now be back on.
We're also trying to close a deal with Fabian Delph from Leeds. Not sure what i think of either of them to be honest, The price for Lescott is going to be £20m which is way too much. Half hoping it doesn't happen, but we desperately need a left footed centre half. Would rather us go for Upson but for some reason we aren't.

Delph needs his head testing if he thinks joining City would be a good idea, might be lucky to play 10 games and that will be in the carling cup.
Hughes has a huge job keeping these players happy.

Lol we won't last that long in the Carling Cup.
Leeds are trying to sort a deal out so he stays there on loan but at the minute we're not keen oon that idea. As big as the squad is we are a little bit light in the centre of midfield - if we get a few injuries.
It's in the Daily Mail today about Lescott handing in a transfer request. Read it and weep Lefty! ;D

Good career choice.
Really fucking weird. We had a bid accepted but then asked Leeds' permission to think about it for a week. I don't get the point in that.
Shame because he has some potential but he'll get more action at Villa so good luck to him.

seen delph a few times and he looks a good prospect
No doubt he`ll end up playing for a much bigger club than villa and they`ll make a nice little earner off of him. Do think its a bit early for people to be classing him as a potential superstar.
Wilshire at arsenal is world class for his age. But that wont mean sod all if he doesnt improve his game every single season and just stagnates into a trick pony ala:joe cole.
Remember seeing joey as a 16 year old running rings around every single player on the pitch and people around were claiming he would be the next george best. Never quite worked out for joe because he got too much too early and didnt push on like he should of done.

I don't know, i think he looks real good because the standard of players around him isn't that high. Found out that Villa had a bid accepted, Leeds' had agreed to sell, we came in with an offer that matched it, Leeds wanted more (£4m more) and that's why we said we wanted to think about it - he's not worth £10m. Leeds rejected this in case we decided to simply pull out. Bates' made out in the press that we made a bid and then asked for time to think about it.
Moyes has told Lescott that any transfer request will be rejected and made public. This annoys me because Moyes went on a rant earlier in the week about conducting transfers properly and then Everton go and make the Lescott bid public, their Senderos bid public and no he's threatening to make Joleon's transfer request public. We're getting some serious shit form the press when we haven't made a single bid public.
Villa made the Barry story public, Barca made the Eto'o one public, Chelsea made the Terry one public and now Everton with the Lescott one. How are you supposed to conduct transfers these days?

f*ck lescott, delph, eto.....are you in for upson, green, parker etc ;D;D;D
Re: Premier League 2009-2010 prediction thread!!
Jozy Altidore will be on loan to Hull this season...I hope he picks the flow of the game up fast!
Aquilani is coming to Liverpool...I am cautiously optimistic, he is very talented, but seems to be injured quite a bit

Media reckon we're in for Upson but i haven't heard owt yet. We're giving the Lescott deal a bit more time but we want a centre half in for weekend so unless anything happens in the next few days with lescott, then i wouldn't be surprised if the stories were true.
Re: Premier League 2009-2010 prediction thread!!
1 Chelsea
2 Manchester United
3 Manchester City
4 Liverpool
5 Arsenal
6 Aston Villa
7 Tottenham
8 Everton
9 West Ham
10 Fulham
11 Sunderland
12 Blackburn Rovers
13 Birmingham City
14 Wigan
15 Bolton Wanderers
16 Hull City
17 Portsmouth
18 Stoke City
19 Burnley
20 Wolves
That's what I'm going with so far, although a few choice signings before the transfer window might alter it a bit. Should be a good season for the Hammers if we can keep people fit & away from the likes of Spurs & Man City. I reckon Savio might come on a bit this year, & Luis Jimenez who we've got on loan is quality. If we bring in Luca Toni as rumoured then Europe might not be out of the question :)

If we kept the same team with Alonso we could have won the league. I think we may have blown it. Aquilani is injured already and will not play until October. :-\

Luckily United are going to be weaker (imo) without Ronaldo and Tevez so it might not matter too much. Arsenal are weaker. Chelsea have pretty much stayed the same, Everton haven't strengthened, Villa have but have also been weakened. I think it will be out of Chelsea, Liverpool and United to be honest. I hope we challenege somewhere near though.
Lescott has had his transfer request rejected. Talking about tranfer requests, my mate told me John Terry tried to hand one in at Chelsea only to be told it would be rejected so they told him to go away and think about it. Despite all the 'i was never going to leave bullshit' we were pretty close to getting him.
£20m for Lescott is daylight robbery.
