Hughes still chasing Lescott

// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Manchester City boss Mark Hughes is not yet ready to give up his pursuit of Joleon Lescott despite criticism from his Everton counterpart David Moyes. Hughes has spent the summer trying to sign Lescott and has seen Everton reject bids of £15million and £18million for the centre-half.Moyes hit out at City's attempts to sign Lescott on Friday, branding them 'disgusting' and claiming they had affected his preparations for the new season.But while Hughes understands Moyes' frustration, he confirmed he has no plans to end his interest in bringing the England international to City.Headlines predictable"I have said before when a deal has run its course we would be prepared to walk away," said Hughes."At this moment in time, we are still to arrive at that position. Our interest is not finished yet."The headlines were quite predictable. I am not surprised David feels a bit aggrieved with the situation, you always are when a big club comes along trying to acquire one of your better players."You never want them to leave, but we feel we are doing things the right way and through the proper channels."Moyes was unhappy that Hughes had not spoken to him directly, but the City boss feels it would have been a pointless conversation.He added: "I could pick up the phone and ring David very easily. I would ask him whether I could have his player, he would say no and I would have to put the telephone down. What would be the point of that?"The thing is we haven't put this into the public domain. Everton did that on their website."
