Sylvain Distin

[Rashid]

Quality player if we get him. Strong, quick and clam.

[Kopite]

Quality player if we get him. Strong, quick and clam.

 

Disaster waiting to happen, like Djimi pre-Rafa.

[Brownie]

Somewhere in between I would say. Not shit, but not very good either.

[Rashid]

Somewhere in between I would say. Not shit, but not very good either.

 

Ian, he is seriously a good player and bloody quick. Solid is exactly what he is.

[Kopite]

Certainly not of the quality we require.

[cochcaer]

Ian, he is seriously a good player and bloody quick. Solid is exactly what he is.

 

You slag off Stelios but praise Distin :wallbutt:

[Fink]

Ian, he is seriously a good player and bloody quick. Solid is exactly what he is.

 

Never been that impressed myself.

[kop]

But he IS clam. :whistle:

 

No seriously, I think Distin is a good player, lots of semblance to Gallas. I wouldn't complain if we went for him.

[MickoD]

I've a lot of time of the Distin fella and half to agree with Rashid, he is quick.

 

I think if he was part of a defence unit like Liverpool's head stand out much than at city. Let's face it, they're not a team that have been known to defend and himself and Richie Dunne - who I'd rate fairly highly as well are often made to look bad by the exposure they get as a result of a lack of defense in front and around them.

 

That make sense ?

 

He'd be a luke warm signing though :$

[05 Milan]

 

Sir! Look at me sir! I'm flying! Whoeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

[Rashid]

Distin will stay, insists Pearce

 

Manchester City boss Stuart Pearce says Sylvain Distin is not for sale, after he was linked with a move to Liverpool.

 

Pearce said he was looking to buy and not sell, with Bolton's Stelios Giannakopoulos and possibly Norwich's Dean Ashton on his wanted list.

 

"Sylvain is not going anywhere, he is staying at Manchester City," he said.

 

"We have still got an offer in on Stelios and we are waiting for a reply. I've no axe to grind with Bolton. How they react is their business."

 

Distin, 27, was the subject of a £5m bid from Newcastle six months ago, but Pearce said the only planned transfer activity at the club would be incoming.

 

He said he hoped to make some signings before the transfer window shuts, but would not be making any panic buys.

 

"I would like to bring two or three new players in before the deadline but if we don't, we will look at the next deadline and then the one after that," said Pearce.

[Dermot]

Distin would be a good signing, but after the SWP money City don't have to sell and will probably stick the price up, wouldn't want to pay over the odds for him.

[Cardie]

Wouldn't be against him signing.

 

Decent player, pacy, strong, good in the air.

[MLB]

Distin is distinctly average.

[Rashid]

Distin is distinctly average.

 

Surprised you say that, but each to their own. The lad is valued at about £6M.

[Red Dawn]

I think there is just very little opportunities in the market all over europe at the minute.

Hence the not very exciting players we are being linked with.

[Cardie]

The lad is valued at about £6M.

 

He's not THAT good.

[Moschops II]

Am I taking crazy pills here, or are the exact same people who've spent the whole fucking summer whining about every single player we've either bought or been linked with now throwing their weight behind Sylvain Distin?

 

*Exhales* *Shakes head* *Exhales again*

[cochcaer]

Another ageing journeyman... can't we leave a few for Moyes.

No different to everyone who has thrown their weight behind the likes of Crouch and STelios not rating him.

 

And for the record I had nothing against us signing Reina, Sissoko, Zenden. Did/do have something against us signing Crouch, Stelios. Was unsure but could live with the idea of Solano.

I have no problem with decent players like Reina or Sissoko, or OK squad players like Zenden. But I do have something against utter horse shit like Crouch and Stelios. Solano? Not overwhelmed but not the end of the world if we got him. Distin would fall into the Zenden category of OK and decent player. Rafa has lowered my expectations of players 10 fold. Players I used to think are shit are now looking half decent.

 

Incidentally my sister last night told me one of her old uni mates is now going out with Crouch. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the lad is haunting me.

[El Rojo]

utter horse shit like Crouch

 

Bellend.

[Rashid]

Bellend.

 

No it ain't personal fella, I don't think he is a bell end, he is just shit.

[MLB]

We must really be getting desperate if we've turned to Distin and Stelios. I mean, I wasn't entirely convinced by Milito, so we're really scraping the barrel now.

 

That said, I doubt if there's actually any truth in this as we're being linked with all everybody at the moment.

[terry mac]

No it ain't personal fella, I don't think he is a bell end, he is just shit.

 

that is the saddest thing ive ever heard from a so called fan label a player from a team he supports, after a few performances...sad
