Friday’s Toffee Bites: Joleon Lescott discusses his move from Everton to Manchester City

The transfer window really is a wild time. Fans get caught up in the rumours, gossip and click bait around the web. But let’s pump the brakes. Remember that these are people with families and concerns beyond just their job, which happens to be playing soccer.

While it may make perfect sense to you and your buddies for Player A to make a transfer to a bigger club, maybe it doesn’t make perfect sense for them. What if his kids like the school they are in? What if his family is nearby his current club? The point is that there doesn’t need to be a reason. If he makes the move, that’s great, but if he doesn’t, do go psycho on social media regarding an issue you likely only half understand.

Ok, enough preaching. Onto the news of the day...
