Distin? (Merged)

[whicko]

Not a bad optionin my opinion if you can forgive him for kissing the Portsmouth badge

Even if Lescott demands a move it is believed Moyes will refuse to sell. City, who have set a £20million ceiling for the player, have had two bids rejected and will switch to other targets, with Newcastle's Sebastien Bassong top of their list.
Wanted man: Newcastle defender Sebastien Bassong is attracting serious attention

Chelsea's Alex is another option, while re-signing Sylvain Distin from Portsmouth cannot be ruled out.

Re: Distin?

Distin had his day at City but he chose to leave for the money on offer at Pompey... good luck to him but wouldn't want him back.

Re: Distin?

Distin never dissed the club or took the piss.A great pro.

Lets have it rigfht-When he left for Portsmouth we looked fucked and they were on the up.It hurt at the time,but they were signing Diarra and Defoe and we were signing Dabo and Dickov.
The badge kissing thing was shite but he was getting big-time shit from "fans" who still don't know the difference between a player who never gave less than 100% and left for valid footballing reasons (at the time) and a so-called "mercenary."

But in pure footballing terms he's past his best.
