At least we're not tapin him.

I love the fact hes looking at Dunne to replace Lescott yet he's threatening to fine us what a tosser.

I would have recalled Jo already by now with all the crap that Moyes has been talking in the papers and the abuse he has thrown our way. Don't see why we should do him any favours.

The man has contradicted himself every single time he has had something to say about this whole "Lescott saga". If he comes in for Dunne after we have signed JL we should tell him to do one.

He really has shown he is the perfect replacement for baconface once he's retired over the last few weeks.

Lescott's not going to say anything (assuming he was actually tapped up) - and anything MH has said in the press has been an answer to a direct question. There's absolutely no case to answer. More s**t stirring by one very bitter little man.

Exactly we havn't done anything wrong anyway...

We try to identify a quality left footed centre half, Hughes decides on Lescott.

We offer Everton £15m, Everton reject it and make it public on there OS.

We then offer Everton £18mill, once again they reject it and make it public.

Lescott hands in a transfer request because he wants to move to us.

Moyes starts moaning to the press that were "disgusting" and we have unsettled his squad.

Everton get hammered 6-1 by Arsenal, Moyes more or less blames it on us and Lescott, hmmm okay.

Lescott gets almightly pissed off with Moyes.

Moyes drops Lescott from the squad and makes him train alone. (great man management there Moyesy babes)

Moyes realising he has fucked up BIG time finally agrees to sell the player.

That's how i've read it all anyway. Where we "tapped up the player" in any of that I don't know.

We can't have it both ways. We can't complain about others then complain if we get caught. We only know what we are told via the media speculation and the statements made by those involved. Ther may be further information that is not in the public domain.
Moyes has done himself no favour by the manner of his whinging and the overreactive statements he has made. He has made himself look like a very angry child in a tantrum, chucking toys all over the place.

If we should get Lescoott, as semms likely now, whatever any fine or penalty will only be temporary. Lescott's presence in our defence should pay us back in the longer term....Eventually we will win.

The lizard eyed twatto is tryin to fill his hole back in, big time.

Wasn't it Mourinho who started a 'Little Black Book' dossier on Wenger a few years back? I bet Gollum has one aswell, starting with our purchase of Jo when he was in for him. Current last entry would read something like 'Hughes has gone too far, he's now gone over my head to the boss with even more money. To top that, Barry and Wright-Phillips have been chatting Lescott up when he was on International duty. I'm taking this to the FA and when they find proof, I'll be another 10 mil better off and the points they get deducted might give us a chance to go above them? NB. When will Taggart finally get out of my seat, this place is a shit hole!'

I think scouseland might have been secretly nuked in the '80s. It would explain alot.
No point nuking it now anyway. You'd only do about 10 quids worth of damage.

True, but we can only go on what we see and hear. We know that we've been victims, we know that every one of our recent transfers or targets (bar Lescott) was dealt with via official channels.

Everton announced that we'd bid for Lescott and then complained that we'd unsettled him. To me this seems like empty sabre rattling concealing the facts so that Everton fans can feel that they had no choice but to sell him.

Our general modus operandi has been silence with respect to transfers while other clubs have been the ones doing all the talking (where there's been major coverage at all). There's every reason to believe that we haven't done this transfer any differently and that it's been above board. The circumstantial evidence points that way, it's only the rants by Moyes that make us look any different.

The point I'm trying to make is that there has been nothing in the public domain that points to us doing anything wrong.
Even if we followed the full story as acted out in the media, there appears to be no grounds for Everton to complain about us.
Publicly we seem to have behaved impeccably.

That is what we do know...There could be so much that we don't know. If a complaint is put in against us, the full facts will be studied by the authorities. I can't see Everton risking an official complaint if they have no evidence.

I think the favour is not recalling jo.

How can we be tapping him up by making a bid for him??

I think Moyes has had too much sugar on his cornflakes this morning.

Tapping up for that dope is when a side agrees a contract prior to making a bid for another clubs player, and seem as how we have still to agree personal terms I would say we haven't quite done that just yet......only my opinion on that theory though!.

Having said that for £24m I think we should be getting a top class proven International defender who is first choice for his nation, not a back-up defender at that level for that much, still a one legged-hopper would be more useful than Dunne at present, so it is a improvement.

Let's face it the only way that this came out was cos' Everton were "quoted" as saying that thye had received an offer - which is what you do when you want to buy a player - make an offer for him. Moyes wanted to keep him but hasn't appreciated it from the players point of view. JL wants to play for a bigger club, he stands more chance of winning something and improving his chances of staying in the England side for next years World Cup.
In a nutshell we've gone about it in the right way, unsettled their club and left Moyes with just over a week to get someone else in. He's known that JL was going as he's been looking at defenders himself - I say "give" them Jo aswell he'll do more harm than good!

apparently the tapping up reports are "wide of the mark"

I reckon Kenwright is eager for Moyes to stop making a twat of himself myself.

I reckon so. Maybe I'll go on the Everton TEAMTALK page for a laugh?
