City unveil Lescott as £22m defender slams Moyes over attitude claims

Manchester City new boy Joleon Lescott claims David Moyes' criticisms of his attitude are 'inaccurate' but not something he wishes to dwell on at the moment. The 27-year-old made his comments as he was unveiled at Eastlands, after signing a five-year deal. City have paid £22m for the player, with the five-year contract understood to be worth £94,000 a week. Lescott's spell on Merseyside ended on a sour note when he wasdropped by Everton manager Moyes ahead of last week's Europa Leagueclash for having a 'poor attitude'. But the Birmingham-born defender said at his unveiling: 'I was disappointed in the comments, I feel they're inaccurate. 'I'd like to address them at a later date and talk more positively about my move here. 'I don't think I disrespected any of the players. If I did I apologise.' City's bid, reportedly worth £22million, was accepted by Everton onSunday but there was a brief delay to the England international'stransfer going through as a minor wrangle was resolved. Lescott was part of the Toffees team which lost 6-1 at Goodison Parkin their Premier League opener earlier this month, with the formerWolves man coming in for particular stick over his display. He added: 'I'd like to think they thought I gave my all when I played. 'I know it wasn't my finest game for Everton (against Arsenal). Itwas a collective effort and obviously Arsenal were better than us onthe day.'
