Man City boss Hughes won't pay silly money for Everton's Lescott
Manchester City boss Mark Hughes won't pay silly money for Everton defender Joleon Lescott.
The Daily Star says Hughes is facing a battle to prise him away from Goodison Park where they value Lescott at around £20m – £5m more than City are prepared to offer for the 26-year-old.
Lescott joined Everton from Wolves for £5m three years ago and has blossomed into one of the best central defenders around.
The possibility of a double-your-wages offer from City is certain to interest him.
But Sparky will not become involved in an auction for a player who recently starred for England in their World Cup qualifier against Andorra. A £15m price tag will be their limit.

Silly Money??. Everton dont want to sell him full stop. Mark Hughes is talking like Everton are willing to sell him. Glen Johnson goes to LIverpool for 17million. If Everton have to replace Lescott then that is how much they may need to pay to find a replacement. However poor, Everton are in comparison financially, they dont need to sell him. He is one of the best Centre backs around.
When are City gonna take the hint and f*ck right off? Mark? Try and do what Moyes has done and build a team to compete rather than throw money at it. You know that thing you're suppose to do? we call it 'managing'
We dont need or want to sell, so go buy yourself a dildo and go n F yourself.........!!!
