33 years old. Legs gone. Two year deal. 2m. Who decided this was a good signing?

I like how you zoom in on this like it stands out from the glut of shite we've hired over the years.  We're terrible at recruitment lol.

Probably the same knob heads that signed off the rest of the other donkeys we have collected over the past few years.

Said at the time shit signing. Embarrasing that we signed a West Brom reject. They get Evans and we get **** Lescott. Pathetic

He was their player of the season last year. Pipe down. Far bigger problems at this club than spending a next-to-nothing on a very experienced player.

Well if they rated him so much they wouldn't have let him go for so little and replaced him with an much better player for £8 million

Jonny Evans is a better player, obviously.

£1m-£2m is 1-2 weeks of wages at the club. It's nothing.

Tony Pulis still managed to play him every week last year and they were very solid defensively. He obviously wanted to play for Villa. I really don't get why people get so angry about Lescott.

Last season Lescott had something left in the tank, this season, he really became very old almost overnight, West Brom presumably knew this based on how he looked toward the end of last season and how he looked in training this summer.

Clearly we were sold a total lemon, classic asymmetric information problem, we thought we were getting West Brom's player of the season, a consistent former who still had it, whilst West Brom knew he wasn't up to it anymore.

Awful, awful signing.

Pulis moved him very quickly to left back and as you know with his teams he parks them on the 18 yard box with a very deep sitting midfield so his pace wasn't likely to get caught out much.

Very much different here, playing centrally and in a very high line.

Because he's been complete shit?

Said it at the time he was a shit signing and some lambasted me and gee look he has flopped spectacularly. 

He has flopped no worse than any other central defender-With the possible exception of Okore

Lescott & Okore together didn't look too bad. Would have liked to have seen a run of Richards  Okore  Lescott  Cisoscho
